[Hexed Private]I hate this. I hate lying to him like this. Why couldn't Lucius just help us come up with a better story? What happens the next time one of us gets nearly caught? Is he going to Obliviate us all? In theory it's a good idea, but now that I've got a half-hysterical boy on my hands...Merlin I wish I could tell him. I know he's panicking. I'm not even sure I'll be able to tell him once Dumbledore has interrogated him. Then he'll know I lied to him, and what then?
Still...I suppose it
is better than facing His wrath. I'd rather Regulus be confused for a week than be under the Cruciatus for even a second.
If he'd just told me about the bites, this could have been avoided. What else hasn't he told me?
