You're dead right. The thing is, everyone thinks Mr Lovegood's cracked, so they'll believe any mad thing the Ministry want to say about him. And nothing he or Luna or anybody else says on his side will make any difference at all.

But, y'know, I think there's something really odd going on. Did you see what my Mum wrote to Luna the other day? She told her it *wasn't* the muggle disease, and she swore to her it wasn't. She wouldn't have done that if she'd thought there was any chance he did have it. And, okay. I know my Mum isn't a Healer, but she knows a lot about stuff like that. I mean, she has to with all of us. Otherwise, she'd have been taking someone to hospital every other day.

Besides. She'd never lie to Luna. She just wouldn't.
