I was wondering about the 'monkey'. Thank you for explaining. Although, I'm betting with Lavinia's limited English, this saying was just as perplexing for her as it was for me. I'm betting she thought he meant a true monkey.
LOL! Yes, she did. :-)
I'm glad that Cedric is coming clean about his robbery of his uncle.
Me, too! No more secrets between them!
Lucius's manservant certainly seems just as bad, if not worse, than Lucius himself. Scary fellow.
Very! After all, he's the one actually doing the dirty work most of the time. (In Harry Potter's world, Simms could probably create at least a dozen horcruxes.)
