Private
How can a thief be respectable? Yes, it was the wealthy muggles who thought it a fine idea to burn witches to death for the crime of having magic. I don't think money makes someone good.
My father wouldn't lie to me. He'll tell me that there's things he won't talk to me about, but that's not the same as lying about them.
I thought I could stay here a while and then go home when I chose. I've tried to leave, but there's strong magic keeping people here. I could get them to send me back, but it'd mean hurting people. Better to be patient.
Those kidnappers might have killed me. I've not been close to death myself, but I watched another boy die once.
