Thanks, Seamus

Thanks for having me floo over yesterday, Seamus. And please thank Mr Rosier for me, too. He seemed really nice, and it was wizard to see you. I'm glad I managed to help you get you at least one day off from study with your tutor. You'll be ace in all our classes when we get back to school in September.

Thought a lot about our talk last night, and I've talked with Gran about it some. You're right (and she agreed) that people with backgrounds like you and me have to always be make it clear to everyone that there's never the slightest doubt about where we stand. I was glad to sign the loyalty oath last year, and I know you were, too.

Thanks for the comics. I was missing the March issue of Archimedes Undercover, so I was really glad to see it.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

I think he mostly approves of Mr Malfoy, but on the other hand, he envies his power and influence. So he'll say little sly things to him, like that he admires his wife, while hinting that he admires her a little too much. Just to irritate him. It's all rubbish, though. He only says that stuff about Mrs Malfoy to jostle Mr Malfoy's broom.

I've heard him praise Mr Nott, the father of that Teddy Nott in Slytherin. He was saying something once about Teddy, and that Mr Nott 'didn't quibble a jot about doing it in front of the brat.' Something about Teddy's mum. Real approving-like, almost gloating. But I don't have any idea what that was all about.

He's friends with Mr Rookwood, and they send letters back and forth about Master's research.

When Regulus Black died, Master sneered at him, said he was weak. Not ruthless enough.

Yeah, he's awful toward the Headmistress. He'll mutter all sorts of vicious things under his breath about her, whenever her name comes up. I think he just hates anyone who has any power over him, and he especially resents her for taking custody of me away from him. He chunters on and on about her, calling her 'the bat' and grousing about how the bat squeaks and flails, but it's blind and blundering, and so on.

I've heard him sneer at a few of the others. Mr Crabbe and Mr Goyle he calls 'idiots, only occasionally useful.' He ranted about it for weeks when that Fenrir Greyback was angling to get permission to take the Dark Mark. That was, oh, maybe five or six years ago or so. He said that Greyback should be put down like a flea-bitten mongrel cur for daring to reach for the Mark, since it's only meant for pure, true citizens.

He doesn't talk too often about other people though. I think it's because he's mostly just interested in himself.
