In your letter, you requested that I spare Vincent Crabbe’s life. If I were merely Harry Potter, former Gryffindor student, today I would’ve shown mercy to Vincent (but not to Pansy). But since 13th August, I also have been Head of House Crabbe and Head of House Parkinson, by Right of Conquest. Today Pansy intended to kill Head of House Parkinson (me) and Vincent intended to kill Head of House Crabbe (me)—well, by your lot’s own rules (Pureblood rules), Pansy and Vincent each deserve death for that, so today they were killed.
