Two questions!

1. Wait, why does the real Hogwarts Book have to remain in the Headmistressmaster's office? It's hidden and warded, yes, but wouldn't it be much safer like anywhere else in the castle?

2. Now that Lucius is gone, what's become of Percy? There haven't been any challenges recently ...

It might need the magic of the Headm*'s office, I suppose?

That makes sense, but man, how inconvenient. >_> And worrisome, given the new Headmaster's proficiency with wards ...

The book: yes, definitely worrisome, especially because Tosha seems the type to poke and prod every corner of new domain, just because he can. However, I got the impression that it wasn't so much that the book has to stay, but that they couldn't get into it he Office because it only opens for the headmaster/mistress. Now that they have two potential ins (three if Siz joins ) it might be more possible to make off with it.

Percy: good question. I bet he doesn't know what to with himself now that he doesn't have to cater to Lucius all the time. Or maybe he'll take it as a chance to prove himself to The Lord Protector and do something stupid. He's not safe from speculation of wrongdoing either, though Barty did seem rather confident Percy was too much of a kiss-butt to betray Lucius.

Which, I have to agree with him there.
