Order Only

Hermione,

Thank you for the report.


Everyone: Obviously, we owe you all an apology and bally well more besides. Before either of us decides what steps to take, Hydra and I need to talk.

Please allow us a little privacy for that. I promise, neither of us will make an attempt to do so in person.

Order Only: Private Message to Hydra

Dux,

Is he all right, your father? I mean to say, I'm sure he's bally well furious but did your mother harm him?

He's not demanding my head, I hope.


I've spent all day thinking, what. About what to do. I think we ought to talk sooner rather than later, though I still feel rather in a state of shock, as I'm sure you do.

Has Professor Slughorn told you what they intend? Professor Sprout talked to me this afternoon. And Professor Dolohov as well. I don't see that we've any choice but follow their precautions. It's that or bally well take Sirius up on his offer but--well, I say, we've stuck it out this far, what. Unless your father does intend to murder me, as he's threatened before.



Are you all right?


Your

-Effs
