I saw that you had written to him. I cannot imagine that if he had written back you would not have mentioned, but -- has there truly not been any activity in his journal, at all?
Of course, that question would be much easier if we could consult the records. Which makes me wonder if that was the purpose, and who was behind the attack on the archives, and precisely how it is related to this whole debacle.
(As to that, at least we are finally able to communicate without worrying it might come back to bite us on the arses later on. Not that I distrust Pennifold, precisely, but as we have seen, there are no guarantees.)
Perhaps I will try writing to him sometime in the next few days with another appeal for him to see reason and duty. In the midst of confusion I can imagine it would have been possible for him to overlook your message; maybe an entreaty from an outsider would have more success. Then again, I cannot imagine him being so cruel as to leave you in doubt for his safety if he had any choice about the matter, which points again to his not being free to act of his own volition at the moment.
I am at least consoling myself that if Snape does have Draco, it is exceptionally unlikely that he will do Draco harm. Unless he has changed far more than I would imagine a man could in fifteen years, even with the shade of Azkaban between then and now, he is not the type to choose random cruelty over potential advantage.
