Bad news at breakfast

alt_nevilleI 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.

Date: 2009-09-24 04:17 pm (UTC)Oh, Molly. She thought I was dead. We decided it would be best to not... to only keep in contact Augusta, and she thought I was dead.
She never knew about Kevin.
I never got to say good-bye.

Date: 2009-09-24 05:00 pm (UTC)When are you leaving to Floo home?
Re: ORDER ONLY
Date: 2009-09-24 05:03 pm (UTC)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.
Re: ORDER ONLY
Date: 2009-09-24 05:12 pm (UTC)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.
Re: ORDER ONLY
Date: 2009-09-24 05:13 pm (UTC)Did she ... I mean to say, does Augusta say she died peacefully?

Date: 2009-09-24 05:47 pm (UTC)Well, perhaps what they say about the dead is true. Maybe she does know the truth now. Somehow, somewhere.
I think you'd better spend a good deal of time holding Kevin today. I'm sure Arabella can juggle things to have the others take over your duties, whatever they may be. And I'm glad that Frank is with you.

Date: 2009-09-24 05:49 pm (UTC)It's just all very sudden.
I thought she'd be around for years and years.

Date: 2009-09-24 06:09 pm (UTC)I thought of going, but I'm worried about sticking out too much. After all, it'll most likely be a small affair, and I wouldn't want to draw attention.
It's been years since my last wanted poster went up, but they just might have someone waiting there for me to show. Even with polyjuice and the escort, it's a risk.
