Just so you know, it's probably a good thing you're not home right now. Mum has been muttering about you and growling about Dolohov all evening. Just as well you'll have several days for her to cool off before you see her again. She seems to be agonising over whether to tell Alice or not, but hasn't decided yet.

Look, I don't know what's going on, but I'm happy to lend an ear if you want to talk about it. Or can I help in any way? I promise not to lecture you. I figure Mum probably has that angle covered.
