Ch201 (p3), Ginny's return
Staff carry out their constant duties while Finny and the top students sneak through the building and around outside. They lead him to the stable.
On perfect timing, the guy who drove Ginny away earlier comes back. Finny sees something that shocks him and gives him what I'd call a cold sweat.
Ginny could just be drugged, like the maids at Heathfield Manor, but either way her face is covered, and it seems here like the "fledging garment" is being used now as a shroud.
Of course, Finny has to start saying something and be hushed before they are discovered.
Before now, I had no idea what Theo meant by saying the "fledged" children hadn't fledged or truly left. But here is Ginny... or whatever is left of her.
Since Doll was last seen in the stable, too, I was first thinking that she goes there when she has an episode of needing a blood transfusion. Then perhaps there is somewhere in there where the children are used for the blood transfusions. That would suggest the children are alive and just drugged.
However, the other star lords wouldn't go there for transfusions, and apparently all the "fledged" children return to the orphanage like this, regardless of their class. So things aren't looking too good for poor Ginny. I really don't know if she's alive or dead. It's entirely possible the children are bled out elsewhere, and then their corpses are taken to some burial site under the stable.
