Order Only - Private message to Sally Anne Perks and Ron Weasley

[alt_draco]

Hey, Hermione said you two came round earlier today looking for me? I was out at Moddey demonstrating the new brooms. Except for the Selwyn kids, most have never experienced what a real racing broom can do, so those who want to use them are going to need a few lessons first - otherwise, the new brooms will be smashed before they're ever properly broken in.

Oh, and speaking of, did you get your broom back in one piece, Weasley? Thanks for the thought, it was generous of you. Only while I was out replacing the one half-way decent (but basically rubbish) Moddey broom I wrecked, I figured why not get one for myself, right?

Anyway, was there something you wanted to see me about? Oh, and Hermione says she's sorry, and that she would have welcomed you in herself if Mr Snape hadn't had her occupied with some complicated brewing.

Yeah, no worries about the broom. Glad to have it back.

Tell Hermione we're sorry about interrupting, we didn't mean to be a pest. It's a really big house and we were trying not to disturb Mr Lupin.

Anyway, we dropped by to let you know that Daphne wants to join the Order. She's coming over to Pansy's tomorrow night, and Mrs Longbottom's going to come to talk to her. I thought you ought to know now, and not be surprised by her suddenly posting on the Order lock. (Or by her popping through the floo to 12GP, because I think Mrs Longbottom wants her to be able to get there if she needs a safehouse.)
