Hi,
1. 「それから、中に何が見えるか、教えてくださいましな ・・・・」
What is くださいまし? Obviously I recognise that it is something to do with くださる, but I don't really understand the ending.
2.
「血は?ハグリッドが泣いていませんこと?」
「いいえ!」
The second speaker means to say, "No! There is no blood, and Hagrid is not sobbing!". However, I am confused why the answer to the second (negative) question should be いいえ and not はい. I had a previous similar question, and the solution in that case was to do with the "question" ending だろうね and not really being a proper question. Is こと a similar case?
