Cousin, I owe you thanks once again for your many kindnesses, most especially your thoughtful Christmas gift, which continues to serve me and to serve Our Lord in endlessly ingenious ways.

how could he?

[alt_sirius]

Psst. Spider-hunter.

I guess we'll have to wait and worry together. Well, not together. I don't want to get you into trouble.

But. I'm glad someone else is as scared for him as I am. That's all.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Sit tight, Black. We'll come for you.

[alt_sirius]

You're welcome to keep looking.

I'm happy to lead the diricawl chase as long as you like. Why don't you send more Death Eaters out of the wards to try to find me? That'll make setting England to rights much easier.

Gryffindor.

[alt_pansy]

sounds like you have quite a lot to worry about already.

but yes.

waiting and worrying and scared.

I'm sorry.

[alt_sirius]

Oh, him? No, it's fine. Crouch's lads just tried to flush me into the open, that's all. Just a little excitement. Nothing to fret over.

Or. I suppose I ought to say: You should be very frightened! I'm going to come into your homes and steal your magic! They'll NEVER stop me! NEVER! (Evil laughter goes here, traditionally. Sorry, you'll have to imagine it for the time being.)

However, this situation with my brother is getting rather dire. On the whole, I'd rather be evading Crouch and Lestrange and their jackals than be where your friend is right now.

It's so much more difficult, I think, to save someone who doesn't really want to be saved. Who wants the opposite, in fact.

Well, you really ought to go drink tea with your dorm-mate and ignore the ravings of this dangerous criminal.

Chin up. I'm sure they'll put him to rights. Physically, anyway.

I feel so stupid asking about the stupid letter when he

and thinking he was doing fine

stupid.

[alt_pansy]

and I am scared.

very.

rather face giant spiders any day.

you can set a spider on fire or blast it to pieces. But for this you've just got to sit and wait. and that's the worst.

Pansy, let's go down to the common room. We can ask the elves for tea to drink while we wait to hear from Mr Malfoy.
