Order Only Private message to Hermione

Do you anticipate that you'll be working with Snape on the sleepers all weekend? Because I was thinking it's high time we head out to Westcliff-on-Sea and search Madam Bumbridge's old house. Not that I'm particularly looking forward to pawing through her pink belongings, but it's something that needs to be done, I reckon.

But I don't want to disturb you if you think you can't spare the time. I'll ask Tonks or Sirius if they're up for it.

Based on what I've researched it's likely quite a bit smaller than Grimmauld. Maybe three bedrooms and a study, with a carriage house out back. Thing is, however much she owns, we can count on the place being well-ordered. Bumbridge would want everything in its designated place, no exceptions. And the house will definitely be warded, unless skilled thieves with wands somehow broke in, which I doubt.

And no, I'm afraid we'll actually have to touch her belongings. So bring gloves, and extra gloves. Make sure they're not pink.

And antiseptic, I suppose.

Now I remember why we've been putting it off.

I gave you your chance to back out. Now you're stuck with me.

But at least we'll get to have a look at the sea.
