alt_lupin at 09:34am on 08/10/2011So. This morning's paper. If you haven't seen it -- it's not just Barty Crouch they think is dead, but Norah Crouch as well.
There's a lot that's rather grimly suspicious about the story, starting with the hysterical tone. Dora's having a lie-in (Bea surpassed herself in fussiness overnight) so she hasn't seen the article yet. What she's said about her foster-mother doesn't much match what I saw in the article, but I'll show it to her when she wakes and she can add her own thoughts.
At any rate, I expect we'll need to go to the funeral. Funerals. Worse, I have to wonder -- what if this was not an assassination from outside the Council chambers, but from within? If the Lord Protector ordered both Barty Crouch and Norah Crouch assassinated, are they going to come for Dora next?
