Late Anniversary Post!

[Cindy C.]

No: HPFGUIDX 44212

Cindy shifts uncomfortably in her chair, her finger poised over 
the "Send" button.  She also recently celebrated her anniversary on 
HPfGU.  But it was not a two-year anniversary.  No, Cindy has only 
been cluttering the lists for a single year.  A very, very long 
year, some might say.

Nevertheless, Cindy feels obligated to observe the time-honored 
tradition of humiliating herself in front of over 4,000 list members 
by scouring the archives for her very first post and dragging it out 
into the light where everyone can see it.  

Please.  Say nothing.  Just . . . just look away while you still can.

Cindy -- still angling for her L.O.O.N. credentials and looking 
hopefully at Amandageist

Subject: Black vs. Pettigrew: Why was Black Laughing?

When Black hunts down Pettigrew in the street, Pettigrew blasts 
himself and a street full of muggles. In PA, we are twice told that 
Black stood there laughing when this happened, and was still 
laughing when he was arrested. (Stan on Knight Bus and conversation 
in Hogsmeade).

Why would Black be laughing? Thirteen innocent bystanders are dead, 
he has learned that his old friend was a Dark Wizard spy who 
betrayed Lily and James, and he recently learned James and Lilly are 
dead. He must know at this point that he'll be blamed for the 
betrayal (he won't be needing the motorcycle anymore). What's so 
funny about that? 

I haven't heard this discussed before, and I can't figure it out. 
Any help out there?
