"Yeah I know.

He said he wanted to be able to help people practice throwing it off though."

"Well, that he'd go to Azkaban for."

"Which nobody deserves and kind of ups the stakes!"

"Because we couldn't possibly handle it by reporting him even if he were evil?"

"Not unless you have a plan to get him tried in Sweden!"

Headshake. 

"Timothy's not evil."

"I don't think he is I'm just really uncomfortable and don't know what to do about it."

"Talk to him again?"

She waits two weeks and then goes and knocks on Timothy's door and borrows Minor's exact wording.

...nod. "One thing I could do is tell you everything I am up to, and then if you encountered evidence of anything I hadn't mentioned you could conclude I was lying and there was probably lots more to discover."

"When I saw the mouse I figured - you could get a lie past me but in the long run it would be hard to keep it past me -"
