Re: Katie Bell - interviewed by Nymphadora Lupin and Xavier Selwyn
Katie turned her gaze back on Xavier when he spoke, face still blankly polite - until he asked the question no one had had the guts to ask her ever since she was discharged. Sure, Katie had wanted to talk about it at times, but definitely not in front of Ministry officials, while she was being questioned.
"I was cursed," she replied simply, curtly, sitting up straighter in her chair as if it were a blow to her strength to say so. "During a school outing to Hogsmeade last winter."
She knew he'd press for more details, so she blinked once before continuing, matter-of-factly, neutrally. "Someone blindsided me with the Imperius Curse to have me take something up to the castle. I don't remember much from the stay itself, actually."
