"Unfortunately, that also means we have to wait and see if she contacts us at some point." Having someone on the outside only did them any good if they could communicate and they may never know if Glenda managed to get to the continent safely or not. Not knowing did not make Padma feel better in the least, plausible deniability or not.
Nor was she willing to accept that they couldn't figure out how to understand the magic. They just needed to study it more. "Maybe there's a pattern we're missing. Something connecting who the castle brings that isn't obvious? Or the timing when people arrive? The castle must have a purpose. It can't just be that the castle needs magic, not if we suspect the castle is sending people back." Because, really, what else could Parvati mean by bringing up non-sentient magic? "So, if the castle feels the need to send people back, then why? Do they not suit it's purpose? And if it sent Teddy and Cho back, it brought Regulus and Savannah at the same time. So, was it a swap? Is the castle trying again for some reason? Why those particular pairs? Was Cassandra's vision about the castle and that's why it was too much for her? Too foreign? We should talk to Sirius and see if he's noticed any changes in the energies of the castle. He senses more, as Headmaster, than even those of us who are more sensitive to magic would." She really needed to start making a list or five to sort this all out.
"Oh, Parvati. I'm sure once they get to know you and not who you became, things will change. You're not that woman yet and you don't have to make the same mistakes." A sudden idea struck her. "And, the castle may not like the idea of not having children. If it really wants us to repopulate and keep the magic it needs strong."
