Bitter reminder
After a long and rather stressful day, Alecto and Amycus are discussing a rather depressing subject.
Amycus queried, "Do you truly believe that our decision to not give that Darlington boy a detention after what he said to us today was the correct thing to do, Ally?"
Alecto muttered, "No, I don't."
Amycus nodded. "It served as a bitter reminder though."
Alecto frowned. "Indeed, a bitter reminder of all of the pain and suffering we caused way back when."
Amycus said, "Yes, but I wonder where he heard about that dark part of our lives?"
Alecto asked, "You don't think that---"
Amycus interrupted her, "Someone deliberately told the Darlington boy about it? Yes, I do think that's what happened. Someone is clearly not pleased that we were offered this teaching position and will do everything in their power to ensure we don't remain here on a permanent basis."
Alecto scowled. "How irritating. Is there anything that we can possibly do to find out who this person is, Am?"
Amycus shook his head. "Not legally, we don't want to aggravate the Minister. We just need to keep an eye out from now on and hopefully they give up soon."
