Me: I am not going to argue that it wasn't Moody anyways. I did not 
know that. Am I allowed to be amused and at the same time very 
bothered by that accident? I can't stand Draco (his only redeeming 
quality for me at the moment is that he is still a child and can 
change), but nope, I did not think that Moody (AKA Barty) had any 
right to do that.

In my mind, both accidents were bad.
Alla.
