alt_justinDaphne,
I'm so bally well sorry for what you're going through right now. I say, if there's anything I can do, please let me know.
I happened to see Sally-Anne yesterday. She mentioned you had loads of questions about some of the occurrences at school, which she was partly able to answer. I say, if you should want to talk, about the same things you and she talked about, we could continue to meet up and discuss them.
I don't know how much longer the journals will continue to be truly private, what, but there's Ron's and my flat, which is secure. There are other places where it's safe to talk, as well.
I shouldn't like you to think I've only approached you because of the connections between myself, Sally-Anne and others, however, or that it was only to ascertain your loyalties. The offer of friendship is jolly well sincere, and was so before these recent events, and will be so regardless of what happens when you've asked your questions. I quite enjoy your company and our conversation even when it's not about dashed serious considerations.
That said, it is true that there has been serious business going on all round us for many months and will continue to be rather a lot of well grim decisions ahead. I say, no one wanted to make you uncomfortable with information you'd rather not have, and no one was quite sure how to find out just how comfortable or not comfortable you might be with the involvement some of us have had in, shall we say, favourable outcomes in those incidents to which we were privy. But as it seems you've opened the door, what, then it's only decent to offer you the opportunity for proper answers, if you want to keep asking the questions. Sally-Anne's quite right that you've been on the fringes, if you follow me, for some time, and have proven sturdy and trustworthy all along.
It's bally well time you had something to show for your discretion, what.

Date: 2014-06-30 04:27 am (UTC)I've heard of Sir Alec Guinness, yes. He was in many films and I'd seen several before I came here. I say, I don't think it should be considered so distasteful to listen to Muggle music or learn how Muggles get along. We've loads to teach them but they've done loads of things over the centuries that are useful to us, too, what.
But...no, Mr Malfoy wasn't part of the organisation at all. What I meant about him was that, as it doesn't seem he'd done anything to harm the Protectorate, his imprisonment is likely someone else's frameup, what, and as much as he might deserve to be held accountable for his part in creating the Protectorate, it doesn't seem quite fair for the Lord Protector to lock him up when he's done nothing wrong. Just as it was dashed poor form for the Lord Protector to force or coerce all those wizards to duel in the Frost Faire, or for Madam Umbridge to send the whole Fleet family to their deaths because of one or two harmless complaints.
I'm sure you've seen at closer range than most that the Council aren't safe from the Lord Protector, that even they have to cope with the whims of whatever mood he might take at any given moment. If that's what's happened to Mr Malfoy, and it bally well seems as if it has, what, then regardless of one's opinion of him, what happened is an injustice.
