I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_draco]

Harry and I took the cloak to Bumbridge's office. We were in the middle of ransacking the place when my Father showed up with Professor Dolohov and Crouch. Now they're ransacking the place.

In case further explanation is required:

- Cloak, barely large enough to fit both of us these days.
- Budged up against a cupboard that they're probably going to search, eventually.
- Do I need to say more?

I'm trying to think if anyone does like him. There's Professor Dolohov, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure Daphne's been over her crush since Sophie Fleet.

I certainly hope so.

And I guess that says something about Professor Dolohov. I wonder about him. He's so

He's not how I imagined when I first heard about him. Some people are easy to sort out. Like the Carrows or Auror Crouch. And you know right away what they're all about.

But he saved Cedric Diggory. And he's not

It's interesting. I guess.

And what does Sterick mean, I wonder? They were calling him that. Auror Crouch and Mr Malfoy.

He gets called an awful lot of things, doesn't he?

It's because he's half Russian. There's some Russian custom that means everyone has about two dozen nicknames. Like if strangers addressed you as Evelyn Longbottom Daughter of Alice and acquaintances called you Evelyn Daughter of Alice and your friends called you Evelyn and your good friends called you Ev and your brother called you Evvie, except it's about ten times more complicated than that and also I think the more affectionate names get LONGER instead of SHORTER which is just ... backward.

Thank goodness I only ever had to call Viktor, 'Viktor.'

Mr Malfoy seems to like him well enough.

I say, I nearly laughed when you asked him to demonstrate the Eberstark disarm and he glared at you as if you were something he'd scraped off his shoe, what? I've never seen you look so puppy-eyed.

And EVELYN! 'Oh, that's just a kitten. By the way, would anyone like a kitten?' I say. It wasn't easy to keep a straight face, what!
