Professor Macnair

[alt_harry]

Somebody really was trying to kill me. I didnt believe Father when he said so.  Not all the way. But he was right.

Professor Macnair and Father had words, which means I am not supposed to ask what hapened. Father was angry with me a little but much more angry with Professor Macnair. I didn't say that last time I wrote because I was too ryled up (Professor McGonagall said that) to think straight about it. But now I see that Father was angry with me too.

Anyway Professor Macnair was back at the castle. Just like normal on Monday. Im glad I don't have classes with him because I don't know what I would say.

It was only that you put yourself in danger by following Professor Macnair, Harry. Although your intervention ultimately alerted us to his activities, it was a great shock to us all that you might be a target right within the school grounds, of all places. I am sure you can recall other occasions when we have been sharp with you or Draco after a close call.

Professor Macnair would not have been restored to the castle had your Father not been satisfied as to his intentions. However, you must execute greater caution and learn to trust your instincts: If you suspect your situation may require an adult, you must involve the Headmistress or another professor as quickly as possible rather than put yourself in jeopardy.

I suppose so Mr Malfoy.

I can't beleive someone tried to actually kill you! That's horrid--whoever it was must be completely mental.

I'm glad your all right Marvolo.

Thanks Susan.

Father says he probably wants to kill me because hes a Muggle lover which is like being mental. Muggle lovers are even worse than Muggles Father says.

Anyway I suppose it doesnt matter because he couldn't even knock me off my broom! I didnt feel a thing not a bit of a spell!!

Anyone who'd want to kill someone our age has got to be sick.

It wasn't Professor Macnair though right? It must have been somebody else because they wouldnt just let a person who'd tried to kill students come back to school.

Would they?

[alt_harry]

No no it was Quirrell. The creepy old one who was hanging around.

[alt_megan]

Ooooh, aren't you scared?

[alt_harry]

No of course not!

[alt_megan]

Oh. You must be very brave. It's sort of like AK for real, if someone's trying to kill you.

I'd be scared.

That's terrible, Harry! Who was it jinxed your broom? I heard someone earlier this week saying it was Macnair but it surely wasn't because he'd be dead or in Azkaban now, not back teaching again.

[alt_harry]

It was Quirrell. He used to teach Muggle Studies. But they fired him.

You need not turn tail when you see me, young Marvolo. I'll hold no ill will for someone tryin to do the right thing.

I'm just glad you're okay! You don't feel creeped out? I would.
