Дедушка,

Barty killed half the periodicals reporters not currently employed by Albion, what, so one wonders: Do you miss all your gossip?

I can provide some.

Word on the street is that the Baddocks, father, son, wives and children, have fled New London. Jason Montague, as well, and his parents, and with him Finnigan--I say, you were something of a mentor to Finnigan, when Mr Rosier wasn't available, weren't you? You assisted him in killing his mother, at any rate.

Miss Weasley, whom you spent so long torturing into submission, has also chosen to run away, they say. She'd only just begun a promising career as a newsreader, what, but no one's heard her since her third day on the job.

I say, what could have caused her to leave so bally well suddenly? Could it be that your careful brainwash failed and faltered, without you there to keep reinforcing the lies? You Cruciated her until she would tell you anything you wanted to hear, and for nothing. Even that has failed. You've been singularly incapable of doing anything you set out to do, Антонин.

Где то́нко -- там и рвётся. Will that be you? Or, pardon one's saying it, but has it been you, all along?


Ips 192.6, by the way.
