wow, they really are serious about this. i'm guessing 'he went abroad with his mum because you're running a death eater factory' isn't going to fly. i didn't think they'd be that serious about it? it's not like hogwarts is the only school in the world.
i honestly don't know what i'll say, i could play the 'i have no idea bc his mum and i don't get along which is 100% true but i worry about her family. they're muggles so i doubt they'd go too easy on them.
but no, they're not the same. eurig wouldn't even talk to us about it. and he's not a secretive sort.
