Do any of you lot know whether they've found out anything about the Patils' little brother? Parvati looks really awful, so I don't want to ask her about it. And obviously I'm not going to go up and ask Padma.

Anywiz, I just wondered 'cause, y'know, it's really

I keep thinking what it would be like if one of us

and how it would be for Mum

or how it would feel to, y'know, just never see the twins again or even Ginny

yeah

it'd be awful

Well, his mother's family is quite important over in Ireland. If you look at Chronicles of the Protectorate: A Modern History they take sort of a geographical view and they have a whole section on Ireland. Technically his family works under the Ministry but no one here really wants to go over there because it's so dangerous.

It's funny, Padma thinks she's so clever but she had no idea. She thought he grew up poor like I did.

It probably is why he's being fostered by someone so important but now that I think about it, it is a bit strange they're treating him like a half-blood. He's got loads of cousins who aren't at school at Hogwarts; they're schooled at home in Ireland, and I'd have thought Finnigan's mother would want to keep him there and have him educated with the rest of his family. But instead he came here, and the Protectorate has him living in fostering like -- well, like me. Susan Bones is a quarter-blood and she doesn't have to live in fostering. Milli, she's not in fostering. Seamus is truly half, I mean his dad wasn't even a muggleborn wizard, he was a MUGGLE.

Anyway Padma says it wasn't a muggle who did it, so you can watch and see if he acts all relieved now.
