OOo!

And now we have an answer from Tosha to Sally-Anne!

He is just smooth. Smooth as butter. Good butter.

Comments

[contrariwise]

He is good. Wow.

[kiya]

What a fascinating and utterly deniable "No really, I understand you might find it awkward to talk to me in person right now."

(Other possible translation of his 'damn!' that just occurred to me: "If she survives that, she may refuse to work with me further.")

[adeliej]

He... Wow. That will be hard to refuse.

(As Sally-Anne is the character I empathise most with, imagining myself in her situation right now is... interesting. I think I'm going to go and play with what I would respond with now.)

[kiya]

Wait, rereading. "Magic-infused objects"... portkeys, perhaps?

Help with research skills will help them with the damn horcruxes....

Also the thing where he explicitly states that he's willing to respect her adherence to a Healer's code without her formal oath in that regard is interesting, to say the least.

Yet another thought, crossing recent alt-fen threads:

So Draco comments that people who do Dark Arts "tend to lose their looks", and that Bellatrix doesn't appear to care about this. Dolohov says the new class is going to have a lot more theory and background to it.

It would be interesting to see his explanation for why, if Draco is correct, that might be the case. Because it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. (I mean, Lucius still has faaaaabulous hair....)

[kiya]

Okay, when I'm done laughing my ass off, I really, really, really want to see Dolohov's response to "You have never tried to kill me during class!"

It's the extracurriculars that will get you in the end.

[teceler]

Well, that wasn't the response I was expecting him to give.

(Also, "I can certainly understand how stressful it must have been to be in a classroom environment with a professor with whom one had that history." Hah.)

And now we wait for Sally-Anne's reaction, which may be a bit delayed, because, well.
