Re: In Hogsmeade...
'Yes. Ever the stigmata of Slytherin House. Guilty until proven innocent.Which will never happen.' Rodolphus leaned back in the sofa, trying to relax. He put an arm on the back of it, fiddling with the seam of the fabric. He still hadn't decided whether the Muggle-born girl had been a genius or had really bad taste. After all, Narcissa had liked it, so it might be okay. Rodolphus liked pretty things. He just wasn't used to them any longer.'
'I think time will,' he said. 'The wizarding world is changing, and we with it. I do not regret that Lord Voldemort is not in it any longer. It seems to be a better, more pleasant place without him in it.' Rodolphus smiled, for the first time a true smile. 'I'd probably be dead or back in Azkaban, had he still been alive.'
