Private message to Harry and Granger

Harry, I know I was non-committable on Hydra's invitation yesterday, mostly because I still don't much fancy the idea of having tea in some ramshackle Camden shop with a relation I scarcely know, but see here, I've had second thoughts. I think we ought to go.

Do you think you can get leave from Buckingham? And bring Granger? I have something else to give to her, but if you don't think you should bring her then I suppose I'll just give it to you to give to her.

Private message to Pansy

I'll be coming along to the Tea Appreciation group today. I've told Harry he ought to come along as well, if he's able.

You know the boxes that I gave to Hermione to experiment with? Well I started to have second thoughts about modifying them or using them for much, because considering that they came from Auntie Bella, it might not be such a clever idea to muck about with them, for a variety of reasons.

But then, last night, I came across something I forgot that I owned.

I was directing the elf - we were clearing out my wardrobe of all the robes that no longer fit - and I was coming across all sorts of random things, like old comics, exploding snap cards, and the like. Even found an old orange that was dried up to a hard stone. And then I found a box, almost exactly like the one Auntie Bella gave me and Harry this year. This one has a shape is a little more square, and the carvings on the lid are different, but I'm sure it was made by the same craftsman. It was given to me for Christmas when I was twelve, and Harry got one, as well. Obviously, we were both to dim back then to figure out that the boxes actually did something and weren't just for stashing odds and ends into.

So we don't just have two boxes, we have four. And two of them probably safer to use, because they didn't come from my Aunt - they came from someone else. Regulus.
