Private message to Evelyn Longbottom

Did you send Fezziwing off somewhere? I need to send another packet of designs and other information out to Hogwarts, to the Headmistress. And I went down to tie the packet on him, but he wasn't on his perch. Gran said he's not off doing a delivery for her, and he's just eaten, so she doesn't think he's off hunting.

He ought to be back this morning. I didn't know you needed him, otherwise I wouldn't have sent him off.

[alt_neville]

It's all right. Madam Umbridge probably can wait another day.

You've certainly been popping a lot of letters off, though. You got another owl today, didn't you? Was that from Katrina Bundy?

Um.

No?

It was from Artemus Ross.

We've been writing over hols.

He's really nice.

And very shy.

I think he's much better at talking through letters than in person.

And I think he's sweet.

Artemus Ross?

Wow. I don't really know much about him.

That--

Wow.

You know, if we were Weasleys, I'd probably tease you unmercifully. But I won't do that, okay?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_evelyn]

Please.

And I'll try to use the owls less.

He's a 4th year in Ravenclaw. He likes Arithmancy too.

Anyways.

Can we talk about something else before I die of mortification?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_neville]

Um, okay.

So...what did you think about the meeting? I thought it was dead interesting. If a little tense in places.

One thing was a real surprise to me though: didn't it seem like Mum was sort of running the thing? I assumed it would have been Sirius Black.

I thought the part about Ron's uncles was really sad. And scary. I mean, it's not like we know how they died or anything, but it's still awful that it was Professor Dolohov who did it.

You're right, she did talk a lot.

And when the Weasleys were fighting about whether to tell or not, they looked at her first instead of Sirius. Like they were asking permission?

I thought Sirius Black was the leader too. I mean, we were at his house. And he writes those Grim Truths. And... he's Sirius Black.
