Bad news at breakfast

[alt_neville]

I got an owl from my Gran this morning, letting me know my Great-grandma Kate died. (Not Gran's mum, Great-grandma Kate was on the other side of the family.) I used to see her a couple times a year. She hasn't been real spry the past couple years, but her mind was sharp as ever. Still, old as she was and all, it was a shock to get the news. She was the kind of person you almost expected to live forever. She was always real nice to me and Evelyn whenever Gran would take us to visit her. Gran said Evelyn's a bit upset over it. She used to exchange letters with Great-grandma Kate once every other month or so.

Gran's arranged it with the Headmistress for me to floo home over the weekend for the funeral.

Alice, I'm very sorry. I can only imagine how far away you must feel just now. Do know that I'm thinking of you.

Is there anything I could do? I'll be happy to check that your son's Floo journey goes smoothly, but of course, Minerva will be able to let you know that, too.


He's a good boy, that one. But you know that.

Thank you, Poppy. That's quite kind of you.

I'm sure he'll be fine with the floo, but I know he'd appreciate a kind word in the next day or two.
