Private message to Bill Weasley

May 06, 2011 14:10

Bill, I don't know how closely you're watching the journals at Hogwarts. But one of the little tidbits of the aftermath of that incident yesterday in Care of Magical Creatures is that Professor Amycus Carrow has publicly all but named Ronald a blood traitor. Take a look at it, there in his comments back and forth with Professor Lestrange.

It's outrageous. Ronald stepped in front of Draco Malfoy and probably saved his life, and for his pains, he's being smeared by one of his own professors. But what can I do? It's clear that Amycus Carrow is receiving protection from the highest level, or he would have been gone long ago. That's why I'm afraid to protest, but to have to take this, to eat this insult is insufferable.

I just don't understand it. Why wasn't he sacked ages ago? Ever since I faced him two years ago when he was raving and waving a knife around, I've been afraid of him. Everyone is. Even the other Professors.

He seems to be getting worse, if that's even possible.

Bloody hell, I hope Mum and Dad don't see what he wrote. I had to all but sit on the twins; they were spitting fire, but fortunately, they're too clever to mix it up with him directly. I'm afraid, however, that they might try to get revenge with some stupid prank and it'll backfire and they'll get caught.

Ron hasn't seen it yet, to the best of my knowledge. I almost think I should carry a Calming Draught and slip it into his pumpkin juice if someone's rash enough to bring it to his attention. And you just know someone will. Probably someone from Slytherin House.

I just--I don't know. I don't know if you ever faced anything like this when you were Head Boy. I could use some advice. Or at least, please be ready to write to Ron if he sees it and starts going shouty-crackers, especially if he's angry enough to do it in a public way.
