Amycus heard Cissy's question and sat down on the ground, the fact that he hadn't brought anything to sit on no longer mattered. He let go of Cissy's hand and stared out at the lake for a minute, trying to think about how much he could tell Cissy about what had happened in Lucius' room.
He hadn't noticed her getting closer with Lucius lately and if he had he would have found someone else to talk to about what had happened.
"He sent his little brat to find us Saturday and have us report to his room," he said, unaware of how bitter he sounded towards Lucius at the moment. "I knew what it was about because he and I had talked about it earlier in the week but I didn't want Alecto to know that I'd been keeping secrets from her. Not secrets as big as this one. Lucius couldn't allow that," he said, the bitterness in his voice replaced by a little bit of sadness.
"He made certain that Alecto find out I'd been keeping things from her. That I knew why he'd asked us to his room."
