alt_lana | Private Message to Orion Sandoval

I am so angry with you right now I could spit. Thanks to your idiocy I've just been hauled out of a very important lecture to answer questions for St Mungo's public health brigade, who have been trying fruitlessly to search out the mysterious witch you claim to have got off with that night at Highgate. Couldn't I tell them whom I'd seen you in company with that night?

Do you realise that they'll be repeating this conversation with everyone anyone mentions to them until they eventually track her down?

What in Merlin's Auspicious Name were you thinking?

I suppose you think a bit of notoriety will stand you in good stead? Well, I assure you your family will feel it otherwise: I've never been so humiliated!

Orion.

At least Martha needn't worry she's caught anything; they assured me a person would have to have had intimate 'contact' with you to have got it from you. But she must be so hurt to think you'd do this. You'd been seeing her for weeks by then. You were with her that evening!

Ugh.

Honestly. It's just too awful to think about.

ARGH! Now it's all over Hogwarts, and I'm having to hear about it from everyone. You are a wretched, insufferable, horrible idiot.
