hey, kiddo.

you doing okay?

you know you can come up on days other than sunday, yeah? whenever you want.

no.

no, it isn't wrong.

we don't have a lot of options when it comes to dealing with people like teddy nott. hell, they're the sort of people who are in charge.

that's what prison and courts and law enforcement are supposed to do. but we don't have those tools. we just have us. so we do what we can.

and it's hard.

it's more than hard. sometimes it's impossible to do the right thing, or know for sure that you're making the right call.

in the best case, we take people like otto strangeweale and keep them in a place where they can't hurt anyone. but we can't always afford to do that, and sometimes it isn't as clean cut as all that either.

al sat up nights about teddy nott. she told snape and draco both that if there was an emergency, or if they found evidence he was getting to the point of putting our people in harm's way, they had to take him out.

believe me, kiddo, you aren't the only one who wanted him gone.
