The one who tried to tell me all sorts of 'secrets' like Wakefield Prison or things about the Department of Mysteries - things we already know. The person who expected us to rescue nearly every relative regardless of how tenuously connected.

Mostly it was the ones who'd lost count that bothered me the most. I'm pleased to say I think it bothered them a bit, too.

Oh, and I asked (though it wasn't on Rachel's list) just what they would do, if our positions were reversed? What sort of mercy would they have meted to us if we were the ones asking for it. Most of them didn't even know what to say.
