nope.

I say we see if he'll be useful, but keep him at arms length. maybe give him a button and tell him he can pass on names with it, and ask him to fix some paperwork, but he's a walking risk.

hell, giving him a button might be too much.

he's desperate and angry and that makes him dangerous.

I don't think we were exactly seeing him at his best.

He did think his sole surviving family member had been murdered by the regime, until around ten this morning, at which point he found out in short order that she was alive, he also had a brother, and they were being sheltered by a revolutionary organisation that included Sirius Black.

then we keep in touch until he's less of both.

make sure he gets letters from them or something.

but he's not getting in today.

I'm not suggesting we swear him in today.

Dora, you went to school with him, didn't you? He's either your year or close. Did you know him at all?

Sorry. Yesterday was mad here. Every time I meant to answer, another pixie escaped the sack and turned everything upside down.

I did know him at school. Barely. The Ravenclaws didn't think much of him. Called him 'Mule', which I suppose was short for Samuel, and not in a nice, matey way.

I'm afraid we halfbloods didn't stick together--most of us were keeping our heads down--but I know he didn't have an easy time of it. I think- yes, I remember hearing that he was a decent flier and he tried out every year for the Ravenclaw side, but they never would take him. So I expect that means he has a stubborn streak, doesn't it? At the time, I just thought it was sad and a bit daft, knocking his head against the wall like that. Charlie, do you remember?

Oi, yes, Mule! I haven't thought of him for years.

He came to every practise -- not just Ravenclaw's, he was at all ours, too. I think it was a little easier to be a halfblood in Gryffindor through at least the first few years, most of our lot didn't care, so he used to stick with Booth from the year before us and Berrigan from our year whenever he could.

I think it was less him knocking his head against the wall and more him trying to point out the ridiculousness -- he was more than just a decent flier, he was better than most of the Ravenclaw team. But Montgomery was the Ravenclaw captain, remember him? (For those who don't, we were all pretty sure he was compensating for being sorted Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin by being as much of a pureblood bigot as he could.)

We all would've cheered him on about it, because Montgomery was a shite captain any way you sliced it, except Mule was just such a right arse to spend any amount of time with. Took everything wrong, no matter how you'd meant it, and wouldn't listen when you tried to explain or apologise. And yeah, 'Mule' as in, 'stubborn as'.
