Does anybody think that Grim Truth was really Sirius Black??

I heard Milly say she thought it was and that he was really alive and that's why the Muggles have all been so restless. Because he's insiting them. Well she didn't say insiting but that's what she meant. But we all saw his body. Father wouldn't be wrong about a thing like that I don't think.

Of course it wasn't him. He never WROTE like THIS from WHAT I REMEMBER.

From:

alt_harry

I guess so. That makes way more sense. Only you know Milly.

From:

alt_narcissa

The mere suggestion is laughable, dear. Black is dead. This miserable wretch is merely an impersonator - and a dreadfully incompetent one, at that.

Pay it no mind.

From:

alt_harry

Well that's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure.

From:

alt_sirius

No, kiddo. That wasn't me.

But that doesn't mean I'm dead. I'm still here.

From:

Be careful, Hydra's mum gets REALLY CROSS when people talk like they think Sirius Black might still be alive. You don't want to get Milli in trouble (unless you're cross with her, are you?)

I can't believe she thought this Charlotte person might really be Sirius. I mean, she doesn't even sound like him.

Did you hear Siobhan and Cassie talking earlier? Meg Wynn went here pretty recently. She wasn't in Slytherin, though, she was in Ravenclaw.

I know. I'm trying to fix it.

Harry, dear - who is this "Milly" person?

Your Father wouldn't be wrong at all, and neither would I. You needn't worry about a thing: the traitor is long gone.

From:

alt_daphne

She's an idiot, Mrs Auror Lestrange, and I say that with a great deal of regret. You can trust that she'll be set straight in short order.

From:

alt_bellatrix

I wasn't asking you. Small one.

From:

alt_daphne

No, of course not. My apologies, Ma'am.

From:

alt_harry

She's a student in my year, but she told me I misunderstood her. It makes sense because she's pretty thick but even she isn't so thick as to think he could be alive.

From:

alt_bellatrix

It sounds as if she's quite an embarrassment to those in your year. I hope that you don't count her amongst your close friends, Harry. There are others who you can count on to tell you the truth and to not make light of such matters. Hydra, for instance.

From:

alt_sally_anne

Ugh, this is wretched.

She's actually making me feel sorry for Milli.

From:

I heard Finnigan talking about this. That Mrs Lestrange was asking Marvolo about what Bulstrode said.

Gosh.

It was rotten of Marvolo to write about it, like that. Unless he didn't mean to get Bulstrode in such a mess. Then it was just stupid.

From:

alt_hermione

I KNOW. How thick must he be, to not know that it's different if HE makes a joke about things like that, as opposed to when MILLI does?

From:

alt_sally_anne

He didn't mean to. But he wasn't thinking. He won't get in trouble no matter what he says and he doesn't realise how much the rest of us could.

The really odd thing is that I think he kind of wishes Sirius were still alive. The look on his face after Milli made the joke -- maybe that's why he didn't realise she wasn't serious?

From:

alt_hermione

Oh I know he does.

He used to write to Sirius you know. He said to me that he was the only person who ever told him the truth. I don't know what truth though. I don't think Harry's really a revolutionary. I mean not that he could be. He wouldn't be safe for us of course, or anyone else. But still.

From:

alt_sally_anne

He used to write to Sirius?

And Sirius --

Wait, was he getting owls? From Sirius? And no one ever noticed? That's -- wow.

From:

alt_hermione

It was a secret. A BIG BIG secret. I don't know what was in them. He keeps them hidden. But I know he was because we talked about it a little bit. You know. Just enough for me to know what he meant.

From:

alt_sally_anne

I won't tell anyone.

So the owls stopped? After they said they killed him, I mean.

From:

alt_hermione

I don't know. I think that maybe Harry stopped writing.

From:

alt_sally_anne

You could tell him -- well, maybe, if you wanted, you could tell him that if he wasn't sure he could send an owl and see if it came back undelivered or what happened.
