Private Message to Penelope Clearwater
I'm sure you've read the Prophet. I don't know what on earth to think.
My first impulse was to send an owl to Oliver, but now I'm not at all sure that would be a good idea. I wish to support him, as I consider him a very good friend, not just a roommate. But if he's mixed up in something dodgy, along with his family, if he's guilty....well, all ties would have to be cut, of course. There's my own position to consider: I'm looking for a job, and I'm hoping for the sort of position where my loyalty to the regime must be seen by everyone to be above reproach. It's bad enough that my own family is a strike against me (and don't I know it). I must be sure that none of my associations are questionable in any way.
I just don't know. Oliver hardly ever spoke of his family.
I've sent an owl off to Atticus, and I heard from Max by Floo this morning. They don't know what to think, either. Max is a little more free to make inquiries and so has sent him a letter (he already has a job, and I doubt the goblins would care), but hasn't heard back from him.

If you're right...well. Well. It would fit with him being in our House. I know everyone makes cracks about Gryffindors, but it would take quite a lot of courage to take that step.

Maybe I'll hear more from Max, but...I think I'll write to him. Privately, I mean, by owl. In the morning.

Well, that is, if you don't have any interviews this week, do you want to get together? I can probably convince them I'm going to some YPL planning meeting.
If you'd like to meet, that is.

Wednesday for ice creams it is. About 2:00 suit you?
