Well! My parents weren't home when I got back from Hogwarts because they were seeing my brother, Sean, at the Ministry. He works in the Department of Mysteries, you know. He's an Unspeakable! Well okay he's a junior Unspeakable, but still, they need all the help they can get now so he's getting promoted to an Unspeakable! My brother is the greatest! Anyway so they were seeing him about this Pettigrew business.
What I want to know is, how did Pettigrew get out of Azkaban? Is no one concerned about this but me?? There's no way you can transfigure in Azkaban at all, they put wards up on all the cells of Animagi. Sean said they put really strong ones on Pettigrew's cell, too. The only way Pettigrew could have got out of Azkaban is if someone with a key did it. Is there someone crooked in the Ministry??? Probably, but I mean, is there someone REALLY crooked?!
Oh man, we're not safe anywhere.
My dad's put anti-Apparation wards up all around the house just in case. Laziness is less important than safety! I can't wait to hear what Dumbledore has to say. My dad says he's a good man so I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts, it'll be loads safer there and Dumbledore will know what to do. I think my family's safe, but just in case!

What about those guards at Azkaban, man? You've got to get Dark working there, really Dark! They have keys, what if they just went mental?

Wouldn't someone else notice him escaping though? Surely it has to be someone with importance, right?

WELL IF IT WAS ONE OF THE GUARDS, THEY'D NOT CARE IF THEY NOTICED!

I don't really know how Azkaban works though. I mean what if there aren't that many guards? What if there's just one per area or something? Would the Dementors care? God, I hate the Dementors, man. What if the Dementors did it?! I don't trust them one bit.

Well, man, you'd have to be a loon to trust those things!

Actually, I've been considering this, and it would be possible to make an exact replica of a key, as well. So it needn't be someone who had an original key.
| turpinol @ 2004-04-12 08:02 am UTC |
Well, it would be a very advanced form of magic. The keys used for Azkaban, the Ministry, things like that--they're not normal keys. That is, it's not quite like a normal key. There are already several sets of wards that prevent escape and the lock is really more of a preventative measure to keep the prisoner from escaping, should the wards fail. However, were someone assisting a prisoner in escape, the wards would be no problem for them, so the key and lock would be their only barrier. The keys, however, cannot be replicated as easily as keys of normal type. I could easily replicate the key to your house, for instance, but the keys for things like Azkaban are made of bone, for one thing. That factor alone makes replication extremely difficult. You would likely have to transfigure another bone into the proper shape, and that alone is quite difficult. Even then, that's only the first thing to do in a long process.

So are you saying it's likely or not?!
And you know an awful lot about the keys at Azkaban!
| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:00 am UTC |
What if Pettigrew comes here? Shouldn't someone be working on protective measures?! We've already had one Death Eater attack too many!

I don't even know how you'd go about keeping a rat out of somewhere. And it's not like rats have trouble hiding!
(parent)| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:05 am UTC |
I know! What if it crawls into our dorms at night and eats our face and then lets the Death Eaters walk right in and kill us all?!
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2004-04-12 08:07 am UTC |
WHAT IF SOMEONE TRAPS THE RAT IN A JAR AND THEN ONE OF THE DEATH EATERS TAKES US CAPTIVE UNTIL THEY GIVE THEM THE JAR BACK AND THEN SOMEONE GLUES THE JAR TO OUR FACE SO THE ONLY WAY THE RAT CAN GET OUT OF THE JAR IS BY EATING THROUGH OUR HEAD?!

OH MY GOD I JUST SAW A RAT BETWEEN THE BOOKSHELVES! HELP!
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2004-04-12 08:18 am UTC |
Well I saw them in the pocket of my dressing gown last week.

I KNOW, MAN! THIS WAS THE WORST IDEA IN THE HISTORY OF WIZARDS!
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2004-04-12 08:32 am UTC |
Here I was all happy to go back to Hogwarts! Where Potter will be! Potter! Who is not safe to have around at times like this!
(parent)| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:35 am UTC |
Oh great. I'm keeping as far away from him as I can, man.
(parent)| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:37 am UTC |
Ask around, I reckon someone has an extra. If not you can always as the Gryffindors.
(parent)| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:39 am UTC |
Well, I reckon they don't care if a rat wants to eat their faces.
(parent)| finch_fletchley @ 2004-04-12 08:47 am UTC |
I'm not mad! I'm just worried about being trapped at Hogwarts with evil Death Eater rats and Potter! Do you want to camp out in the common room tonight so we have back up in case the Death Eaters come?
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2004-04-12 08:53 am UTC |
Do you want blue or orange? I'm using the red one when I get back to Hogwarts. I have yellow too but the part between the eyes got ripped so it's just one big hole.
(parent)| perfectprefect @ 2004-04-12 08:52 am UTC |
I assure you that no one in the Ministry had anything to do with this. At the moment we are inspecting the wards on Pettigrew's cell to see if something failed to hold. I expect we will have news shortly.
| perfectprefect @ 2004-04-12 09:01 am UTC |
I do not think that the Ministry would resort to imprisonment via jar.
