Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite Malachi remembered the last time he heard this request, locked away in the dark place wondering why Upstead was in such a rush to be up and out. The following two years gave him some sort of answer, even if it wasn’t the full picture.
So the Headmaster didn’t immediately say no.
This wasn’t the sort of request one granted willy-nilly. There were different aspects that needed to be taken into account. The student’s ability chief among them—wouldn’t want to set anyone up for failure. That wasn’t so much the worry when it came to this one. The Slytherin was quite competent. Held their own in a war fighting for the wrong side. All he’d learned of Rosier, the man wouldn’t have commissioned an incompetent child to join his ranks.
What it really came down to was... “Why?”
A question he perhaps should’ve been asking sooner. Perhaps even a few things could’ve been prevented. It was not too late, not so long as Upstead had not graduated.
