I have never in my life met anyone as good at manipulating people as Dolohov is.
I hope I never do.
Well, I suppose there's Rigel. That's different, though. Dolohov couldn't actually reach in and manipulate people's minds directly. He had to use tools to do it. Sometimes he used charm and kindness. Forbidden knowledge. Books. Tea. Other times he used cruciatus.
Anyway. I'm glad you snitched on Evelyn. What did she say to me ... here. 'I am so very glad you're back. I am so very sorry for writing you like that. I didn't write you other times, because I thought it could be painful, hearing from friends and family while you were being told they were awful, and when I wrote you, I was trying to ... I am sorry. I regret how I went about doing things very much. Especially because it involved you. If it helps at all, I meant every word I wrote.'
I guess she means that she meant it when she said she missed me (which she told me in that other message) and that she was glad I was still alive.
Possibly also that she really did mean that she needed me to do her a favour, and that she felt obligated to Dolohov because he saved her life.
I actually have no idea what the German and Arabic said, other than that it was something about Crouch's body. I can't read either language.
