You were not in control of your faculties, and we all share the burden for what transpired. The chain of blame goes upward: to your Defense professor for not recognizing your blackouts for what they were... to me, for not trusting my intuition and taking more aggressive action to investigate and protect you... to your Headmasters for not insisting on more thorough Ministry law enforcement investigations... and certainly, to Professor Lupa for failing to disclose her past, placing every resident of Hogwarts in potential jeopardy... but finally, the responsibility truly rests at the feet of one Remi Devereux, who Merlin willing will pay for his crimes with a long kiss from a Dementor." He met Upstead's eyes.

"With so many dead or injured, there is more than enough blame to share. For you, however, the only responsibility you bear is for not being honest... And one could argue that perhaps you were not even responsible for that, if you were under the imperius curse." He nodded once; case closed. He smiled ever so slightly at the lad, shuffling over to the dais steps. "Now then. Do you suppose you would be willing to help an old man over to the Ravenclaw table? I have business with Miss Toussaint."

"Ssssir, I killed them," Jake insisted, not wanting this to go away so easily. "I kkkilled them. I killed them," he stressed. "Mmmurder is illegal, ssssir. I did it. Luhh-lawson is rrrright, this is all mmmmy fffault."

Okay, that bit about staying calm?

Fail.

And Kazi managed to point out something... Jake was taking responsibility, and now he was WRONG?! Brain aaaaache.

"Whuhh-why ddddoesn't anyone ssssee that? I... I... I'm wwweak," he insisted, and sighed. "If I wwwasn't at Hhhhogwarts..."

Hearing that Kazi wanted to be out of Jake's company already, the boy sighed and nodded his head. Following the man to the steps, he looked at the Great Hall dejectedly. "I'm ssstill asking Tate to... expppell me," he added quietly. Then he realised how loud his voice had been when hee was talking about killing.

Oops?
