So that's who it was. That's who was the serpent that talked like a raven.

Why didn't I see this sooner?

So obvious.

Eloise read once that hindsight is twenty-twenty, Ron.

[forever_cannons]

Yeah, so I hear.

[skibble_sklonk]

For what it is worth, she is sorry you are burdened with that.

[forever_cannons]

um... thanks. So am I.

Serpent that talked like a...? What are you talking about, mate?

[forever_cannons]

What I kept Seeing. 'quoth the serpent, nevermore' and all that. That's what it was, and he kept telling me to back off, that I didn't have any business accusing anyone of anything and that I had it all wrong. No WONDER he didn't want me thinking about that too much!

[_pogmothoin_]

Oh! Oh... lord. It is clearer now. Ravens. Ravenclaw. Why is it everything seems obvious after the fact?

[forever_cannons]

After the fact when people are dead and it's useless.

Everyone ELSE saw that at the time you mentioned it. It wasn't true then, and it isn't true now.

There's a piece of this missing, a seriously important piece, and nobody's bloody looking for it because it's easier this way.

[forever_cannons]

No, everyone didn't see it - if they had they would have stopped it. How can you be putting so much blind faith into him? HOW?

[seventhdaughter]

It's not blind, Ron. But it doesn't make any sense, the way they're telling it.

Luna told you what she saw. She was there, and you're going to take some sort of notion about him over her word?
