Summum Bonum

I dare say that Slytherin house will not be the same absent Sam Montgomery. There is a certain amount of quiet among us this week, but it is a resilient quiet. Sam filled the dungeons with a certain liveliness that no one else can quite replace, but I suspect she would not want us to mope about in her absence. She made a bold sacrifice in her quest to serve our Lord - far more bold, certainly, than what many others offered - and should be praised for that willing sacrifice.

On behalf of Slytherin, Daphne and I sent the Montgomery family a gift basket which we hope will communicate our appreciation of their daughter, Samantha, and all that she stands for.

Yes, I know. They seem to think that I used my legilimency to help them find Sammy, and that I was the one to convince the centaurs to let her go.

Which is so hard to fathom that I don't even know what to say. What can I say? I guess this is how their mind is making sense of what happened now that they've had their memories altered.

No, there's no way that you can really challenge their story, but I wouldn't comment much further on it - not that you're really the sort who would.

The fact that you and I both came back with acromantula artefacts when the others did so lacklustre (excepting Teddy) will no doubt make us targets, somewhere down the line. We might as well start anticipating it now.

Yes, but we'll only be targeted by the people who really want to be on the council. I guess that would be Teddy, Vince, Greg, Alfred, McLaggen, and maybe Thomas and Finnigan.

It's okay, I was already watching out for them.

And Patil. Don't forget Patil. We both sussed out that Lana probably chose you first over her, so it's possible that she's sussed it out, too.
