The heck?

What is up with that bludger?!!! It was doing that earlier, too.

Or maybe it's Professor Brutka. What do we really know about him?

Or, or! Dawlish!! He's an Auror, innit? And he doesn't seem really happy about having to work here, now. I mean he almost gave me and Harry a really nasty detention one time just for getting mud in the corridors--and he would have, too, if it hadn't been for Nick getting Peeves to distract him at just the right time. I heard he got sacked from his job by that Bellatrix Lestrange, so I bet he might be hacked off at the Protector, too. And he'd be able to hex a bludger from the stands, I bet, without anyone knowing he'd done it.

Though, I bet Carrow could do that, too. He totally could. Would, too.

So, yeah, really, I'm thinking Carrow.

Oh, wow. It could be Carrow, you're right. Because think about it...he's hacked off at Marvolo for talking to his father and getting him into trouble. And he hates Fred and George because they stick up for Terry. What could be better from his point of view than to hurt Harry Marvolo and then fix it so Fred and George get the blame?

Yeah. That's what I mean. It makes total sense, doesn't it?

I wish the Headmistress would say something.

But I suppose she's up with the Malfoys and Harry and all in the Hospital Wing.

D'you think his Father'll come here?

I mean, if Harry's got really hurt, He'd probably come, yeah?

And then--

I dunno, Nev.

I can't think of any way to prove it was Carrow. But I don't think the Headmistress will believe it was the twins. If it matters

Did you see in Mr Malfoy's diary entry? He said that Madam Hooch said it had been hexed but there's no way a student could have done it. Here: 'I did meet with Madam Hooch before we departed and she confirmed that it had been tampered with, but she is of the opinion that the spell linking it to Harry was beyond the ability of a student.'

So they can't blame the twins, Ron, they haven't even taken their OWLs yet so if it's something too hard for a student -- I mean no offense to you Fred and George because you're awfully clever and you've done some things I wouldn't think a student could do, like this way of writing in the journals. But you haven't done most of them in class so I don't expect anyone will think you could have hexed the bludger.

Anyway then they go on to talk about whether MLE needs to come to Hogwarts to keep Harry safe and that would be dreadful for all sorts of reasons but it sounds like they're not going to blame Fred and George.

You're right, Neville. That's exactly the sort of way he'd like to do it. He'd think that would be the very best sort of revenge.

Blimey, even if the Headmistress doesn't believe it--and I hope she won't--Fred and George had better seriously watch their step around Master.

I think you're right on about Carrow. And he's a teacher, if he wanted to get into the bludgers he probably could. Fred and George couldn't, nor any other students.

Yeah.
