I Solemnly Swear that I am Up to No Good

I think Harry's going a bit bonkers. He keeps wanting me to go get books about house-elves of all things. And he told me about I'm not sure why.

Also, I've heard a lot of people saying things, talking about who the "heir" is, and some people say it's the heir of Slytherin, and some people say it's Harry because he's the Lord Protector's heir, and I overheard someone talking and I thought what if Harry is the heir of Slytherin? Only I know he isn't the one doing this stuff, I'm sure of it, I mean, I wasn't with him in the hospital wing or anything but I'd know because he couldn't hide it if it was him.

What do you lot think?

Carrow makes the most sense for the petrifying, I agree. We know he threatened Terry, and didn't he say once in the journals that he'd make some cat live pate if he ever got a hold of Crookshanks?

The only thing that I can't quite make fit with that is the message. I can't help but think if that if Carrow were to write something on the wall, it'd be something mad about pigeons or something. Not 'Enemies of the Heir, beware.' Carrow's most preocupied with his own enemies, not anyone else's. I don't think he likes Harry at all, so if Harry's the Heir, why's he warning people off about Harry?

Wait, unless Carrow thinks he's the Heir of Slytherin? I mean, Carrow himself?

The twins told me last night they think it's Carrow for sure. I think they're so hacked off about Terry they're not really looking at anyone else.

Huh. I'd believe that--that Carrow thinks he's Slytherin's heir.

Is there a way to look up who people are related to?

If you have a tapestry or a family register you can but here's the thing.

NO ONE at the school has a tapestry with Salazar Slytherin on it. Or any of the other Founders. There are loads of wizards out there who say they're related to a founder but none of them can prove it.

But, I mean, does anybody really have tapestries that go back that far? It'd have to be a hundred feet long, wouldn't it?

[alt_sally_anne]

Nobody's got a tapestry going back that far, no. Hogwarts was founded a thousand years ago.

Draco's goes back a long way and I think they've got books that go back further, or out further. It's crazy how many people in Slytherin are distant cousins. And not just in Slytherin, I mean you're related to all of them too Ron.

If anyone would know it would be Teddy. He's the one who told me how you were related to Draco. And he says no one can prove Slytherin's their ancestor.
