Laurawkids:

Have you all already discussed how a bit of veritaserum in that gin 
(which DD never drank with her) could have been useful to get her to 
tell what see had seen Tom doing?  Even if Tom was nice, she would not 
admit to the reality of him doing magical things.  DD may have just 
wanted to see how far it had gone, if anyone was suspecting magic.  I 
suppose if Tom had made a real show of his abilities to the kids, DD 
would have some obliviating to do.
