Order Only: Private Message to Ron and Sally-Anne

Hallo,

Look, I don't wish to seem insensitive, as I'm sure Mr Longbottom feels well shocked to suddenly lose his magic.

But, I say. The looks on your faces as we were reading that.... Well, I mean to say. It's not that terrible, is it?

He's alive, he's otherwise in good health, it sounds, and...well, millions--make that billions--of Muggles live without magic every day. They never even miss it.

Is there something I'm missing? Why does everyone seem to think it means his usefulness is at an end?

I'm quite earnest, I should add. I can tell you all think it's a dashed catastrophe but I'm at a loss as to just why.

-Justin

P.S. Do you think Harry and Hermione will finish with Cedric soon?

-J

Only, it doesn't seem as if Mr Longbottom knew that was one of the choices. That's part of what's so-

No, scratch that. What's awful is that he's got squibbed. And it looks like it's permanent.

It's what I said to Sally Anne before: if I knew I was going to die soon, I'd do something that would null my magic. But to end up with a long life and no magic, I don't know.
