Lynch and Umbridge's Hospital Mis-Adventure
Are the pair involved?
Put simplistically, it reads like a rescue: auror Mr. Edric Umbridge was brought to Hogsmeade Hospital by Miss February Lynch. She may have saved his life. In reality? It's much more complicated than that, leading witnesses to speculate that an illicit flirtation is what brought Mr. Umbridge and Miss Lynch together.
Miss Lynch brought Mr. Umbridge to the hospital via side-along apparition while she was clad in her nightgown (and a housecoat.) Somehow, they ended up touching in a way one would expect of a married or engaged couple: Miss Lynch was seen on Mr. Umbridge's lap in the waiting room. Eventually, the pair's entanglement was disrupted by one Mr. Killian Macmillan, who was no-doubt uncomfortable about everything involved.
This is not necessarily incriminating of wrongdoing; it is by no means innocent, either. Miss Lynch should have contacted a chaperon - if Mr. Umbridge could survive the waiting room, he could wait a minute - or at least put on real clothes before inflicting herself upon the Hogsmeade Hospital population.
And just as importantly: did she save Mr. Umbridge's life, or cause his predicament?
