Broom

[alt_hannah]

 
Has anyone lost a broom? Because I saw one flying out a window yesterday. I was walking back from the greenhouses and one came floating out a window and went behind Lupin's hut. I lost sight of it after that because the sun was in my eyes.

Wait, Mr Lupin? What would he want it for?

[alt_sirius]

I did warn you not to trust him, Harry. Not that I really think he would do anything to your broom, but as it's been out of your possession for a while, you probably ought to check it over before flying with it.

Just a bit of friendly advice.

Black, what do you imagine you're playing at? Do you think you can cast aspersions on your old chum in order to make yourself look innocent?

Leave the boy alone, if you know what's good for you.

[alt_sirius]

Steady on, Malfoy. If you're so invested in protecting Harry, you'd think a moment and give him the same advice. Would you ride a broom that's just gone mysteriously for a flight on its own?

I knew you were a fop, but I never took you for an idiot.

[alt_lucius]

What's more idiotic: To openly contact young master Marvolo when you are climbing so high on the Minister's Undesirable Persons list, or to openly insult one of the most powerful wizards in Britain?

I am warning you, Black, the boy himself has told you to stop bothering him. Make no mistake, you will suffer if you continue with your slander and harassment.

Marvolo?

MARVOLO?

That's POTTER, you insidious prat.

I love how you and my cousin are so convinced you can hurt me. Or that she thinks she can hurt people whose pain will hurt me. Or whatever. Believe me, the worst suffering your lot have already caused extends far beyond my life, or the lives of anyone I might personally know.

But all right: I'm leaving him alone. Not because you threaten me, but because he asked it.

Don't mistake me, though, Malfoy: Before I'm done, Harry WILL know the truth.

Your pardon, but a clarification: I spoke with young Miss Abbott yesterday, and she says that the broom wasn't flying to Mr Lupin's hut, but merely behind it, but it was still quite high up in the sky when she lost sight of it, because of the sun.

Why are you leaving messages for me? I wish you wouldnt.

[alt_sirius]

Look, I don't mean to upset you, or anything. But you did say your broom had gone missing and it looks like it wasn't accidental. You'd be foolish not to get it checked, is all.

I don't blame you for being confused I know it's confusing, what we grown-ups are arguing about, but I'm on your side, Harry.
