I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

Ron,

Has your brother come home yet? Is he all right? It sounds as if he at least escaped unscathed this time, what? Of course I'm sure he's well shaken, given that they could have taken him to MLE for questioning.

Imagine, if he'd still been back in Communications, they would have done. I say, jolly lucky for him!

Harry, I was thinking perhaps instead of Tea Appreciation tomorrow, we might fly toward the farm where Sirius's friend lives. Mrs Longbottom said she wanted to mobilise to take it. Even if the Order decide not to try now, if things at the Ministry seem to have calmed down, we ought to go for reconnaissance, what?

There's something else, though: Remember the parcels Maggie's been receiving? Hydra talked to Ms Tonks about them and the last time we were at Doughty Conduit, what, she said that no one at Laszlo's has been sending them (as far as she knows). But she did tell me that Mr Macnair, the one who used to be Creatures professor and is now somewhat allied to the Order, believes that Maggie is his sister.

I say, I've been trying to talk to her alone since Ms Tonks told me that. But she's been bally well impossible to catch by herself. It's almost as if after that incident with the Jugsons, she's extra-careful not to be alone with me.

I say, you don't think she still thinks I've got a crush, what? That would be well ridiculous.

How was everyone else's weekend?
