Magpie:
She has said things that throw us off, but I honestly don't think she's ever 
outright lied. I believe she was asked if Percy was under Imperius and she 
said he was responsible for all his behavior.

Magpie:
Really?  That's interesting, because to me it just seems very believable the 
way he's acting.  Though I'd certainly be open to anything in that vein. 
What seems fishy about it to you?  (I'm sure there's probably a theory out 
there that agrees with you!)

Magpie:
Oh no, not at all.  No problem.:-)

Magpie:
Me neither.  I have no confidence whatsoever in my abilities to say what 
will happen.  Sometimes I'll hit something on the nose--but I figure it's 
that "even a broken clock is right twice a day" thing. I just like looking 
at what's happened already!
