Elizabeth, Ozymandias English I did in a way. You're not my only visitor, you know? Mouse brings me my paints, sometimes Mary comes, or Sarah. They tell me stories and I put the stories on the wall. So it's not magic after all. I leave that kind of thing to Narcissa. French Je l'ai vu d'une certaine manière. Tu n'es pas le seul a venir me voir, tu sais.

Cela n'a donc rien à voir avec la magie; Je préfère laisser ce genre de choses à Narcissa. Reverse translation I saw it…in a way. You're not the only one who comes and see me, you know.
