Yes, he killed himself. At least, that's what Mr Malfoy told Pansy. He said he was sick, you know, that it wasn't anyone's fault, all the things people say.
I don't know what to believe.
Mrs Black is dead, too. Regulus's mum, the horrid lady they made Pansy stay with at Christmas first year. She died from the shock. I don't believe it; she wasn't the sort of fragile old lady who'd die from shock about anything. I wonder if maybe Regulus killed her, and then himself, and they don't want to put that about.
He could've taken her somewhere. Or he could've done it and then taken her body, that would be easy enough. Or the elf could've said the house was empty because they were both dead.
Oh and when I said I don't know what to believe, I don't want you to think I think maybe it's Pansy's fault.
I mean that I don't know whether I believe he killed himself, and if he DID kill himself if it was because he was sick and sad and couldn't bear to live any longer.
I keep thinking about what you said, about how if someone were trying to make you do something horrible you could refuse and let them kill you.
Except if they weren't threatening to kill YOU but threatening to hurt someone else -- well, if they wanted something from you and you killed YOURSELF, they wouldn't have reason to threaten that other person anymore, right?
I keep wondering if someone if the Lord Protector was threatening Pansy.
I wish I hadn't thought of it. I've been worrying about something like that ever since those girls went missing. Because they DID look like Pansy, you know. Not exactly, but
if someone wanted to threaten Pansy in a really twisted and awful way, killing those girls
Yeah anyway I'm going to try to stop thinking about it. Mr Malfoy loves Pansy and will protect her, surely.

I'm glad you went with her. Even if he did make you stay outside.
But what happened to him? Has Pansy said? I mean, did he top himself? Or
or, y'know, did someone kill him? It's only Mrs Malfoy said today the house was empty, so what does that even mean?

Date: 2010-05-20 03:00 am (UTC)did he take her somewhere to do it? I mean, how was the house empty? Or, well
maybe it was just that there wasn't anyone alive in it. It was just an elf that told her that, so I guess it might not've been quite what it said.
Huh. I guess it doesn't matter, really.
It's just, well, yeah. They're both dead.
