It was him or you, Allie - don't trouble about it. You definitely gave better than you got. But of all of them, he's the least likely to take it out on either Neville or Evelyn.

Seems like he's awfully chummy with Harry. I have to keep reminding myself that he's chummy with nearly everyone - until he kills them.

I've got your man right where I want him, by the bye. And Kingsley, too.
