alt_mcgonagallSirius, it may relieve you to know that I have heard nothing about Regulus or Sanji that would lead me to suspect that they are at all related. I would not trust my own knowledge, of course; but Lucius Malfoy, whatever his flaws, is a father, and I cannot help but think that his paternal instincts - at least in private -
In any case, having spoken to Lucius, I can confidently say that he knows nothing of Sanji's whereabouts that is bad.
The incident, however, has caused such tumult at Hogwarts that I cannot express it. Of course, one's heart goes out to the Patils; but for me it is more than just that. It was heartbreaking to see their interactions with Parvati and Padma, of course. But the atmosphere was so bad already and has only gotten worse, particularly in Ravenclaw Tower. Students are upset; I have dealt with more problems personally in the past week than I had in months past. It seems as though the older students are irritable and snappish and the younger ones - even though they've drawn together in the time of crisis - friable and hysterical.
Only Luna Lovegood, strangely enough, seems to be a bastion of calm and silence in the middle of the Ravenclaws. She is a bizarre girl, but somehow I had expected otherwise - that she would do something, say something that seemed like typical grieving. But she hasn't, not at all. Molly, Arthur, have you submitted your application to adopt her yet? Is there anything you'd like to say to her?
