Order Only

Yesterday I went to Mr Yaxley's funeral with Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius, and afterward I went with Aunt Narcissa to the condolence call.

It was odd - people behave as if they're very sorry for the Yaxleys, and they seem genuine when they offer their sentiments, but most of them were thinking about other things. One was even thinking about how he was missing a quidditch match. And then the people who were sorry were thinking about poor Bettina, having this happen after having been a squib for a time, or poor Sarah, is she regretting her Mark now?

It was sort of a mish-mash, and I'm sure I didn't know some of the references. I did hear someone wondering which way the Sandoval-Pennifolds would jump now. And Uncle Luci another wondered what fate the others who conspired with Selwyn would face, and if any others of them were still around, and what their next move would be if so. The person didn't seem to know who the conspirators were for certain, but the names they were thinking about were Corbyn, Pummel, Travers, Ollivander, and Rosier.

I suppose the one sure thing I took away from the day is that everyone is feeling quite uncertain, but they don't show it or talk about it.
