Her speech last night, as if her programme were the only thing of consequence in the school. (And the looks on the faces of the children, as they realised there was to be yet one more expansion on their schedules?)
I had quite the chat with young mister Diggory this morning about that - of course, as a YPL counsellor as well as Head Boy, he's expected to put on the best face. He gave me a few more tales of her interference this summer than Aurora has so far, too. Not so much what she's doing, but rather how she does it.
And yet, a number of the CCF instructors were clearly very much of a mind with her. Not just going along because they could see the power shifting, from the bits I gathered, but honestly seeking her out an enjoying her company. (Minerva, did you see her talking to Cordelia over breakfast? Quite the same effect, I thought.)
As to Dolohov, well. I will take charming over the chance of being hexed for no reason in staff meetings, or far worse. I suppose. I had not quite realised what a pall the Carrows cast until coming back and realising we'd not have either of them ever again.
