It's Harry's fault that this happened. Only I suppose not really, but still...
Before the task Mummy asked if I had helped Harry prepare, and I said yes because of course that's what she wanted to hear. And then after what he did, rescuing those hostages, she said that she hoped my softness wasn't rubbing off on him. And then she said it was probably time I had another lesson, and she took Tevis away when she left.
Dux Hydra. That's.... I'm sorry, but I say, that's well monstrous.
But I thought--so she really wasn't pleased that you've...well, made progress in securing Harry's affections, what? I mean to say, I gather that's what you were hoping to do, at any rate.
Affections? No, she didn't ask about that. Draco was talking about how much time he and Harry spent in the library preparing, and she gave me a look so I said that I had been helping, too. Which was true, at least on Wednesday night.
Justin, Harry and I grew up spending time together. Not as much as he and Draco did, of course, but even so, I would want to help him win the Task even if Mummy wasn't expecting it. It's got nothing to do with his affections, or mine.
And I suppose I was waiting for you to just tell me when you wanted to see me...and it's true I was a little cross at the thought that you might not want to just because of the bracelet. But I didn't help Harry because of that, not at all.
And after Wednesday I just focused on homework and things... including the bracelet, actually.
I should have spent more time with Tevis, instead.
I think I have made some progress, but I'd like to get Sally Anne's opinion first, before I say for sure.
I just keep wondering what she'll do to him. My first thought was that she'd just toss him into the lake or break his neck, but then...what if she eats him? I always tried not to love him as much as Tully, because I was mad for Tully and then... well, I just didn't want something bad to happen to Tevis, too. But now that she's taken him I realise that I cared for him as much as I ever did for Tully.

If you...want to tell me, that is.

Why? Did you think something was going on?

Which was a stupid thing to have saidOnly, then what about Thursday? And Friday, what? I thought you were helping him the whole rest of the week.
Which isn't helping our problem, do you see. So I thought perhaps you'd decided not to bother, what?
But if--
Well. As I said, I've been acting like an idiot. Forgive me?

And I'm dashed sorry about Tevis. I'm sorry I wasn't there last night.
So. May I see you?
