Well, I'm back at Gloss House. Shopping's all done. Mum had a few things to finish up today, so we stayed on longer than we thought we would.

Harry, is everything all right? While we were out, I saw a bunch of Aurors in front of Buckingham, and they were very insistent that we move along and not stop at all, and there were a bunch of other people trying to see what the Aurors were there for, and no-one would say one way or the other what was going on. But we didn't stay to see, because I wasn't feeling well at all just then, so we went straight to the flat and took the Floo home.

And now that I've had a cup of cocoa, I do feel loads better.

What happened? Does anyone else know? I've been listening to the wireless just to see if anyone did a story on it. I guess we'll find out from the Prophet tomorrow. I hope they've caught one of those men, and that's what all the fuss was over.

Nobody tells me anything. But I wasnt at Buckingham Im on holiday.

Ill write about it when someone tells me, okay?

From:

alt_pansy

All right. It's good you're okay, though. I was worried something bad might've happened. My stomach was doing flips and everything.

From:

You saw Aurors at Buckingham? Wow. How close by is your London flat?

I bet you're right and someone tried to get to Harry before he went away. But Professor Lestrange made sure he wasn't there already. I can tell he's going to be a bang-on DADA professor, if he can outdo criminals with that kind of clever thinking.

From:

We live off Hyde Park so it's not that far.

I'm not sure he planned it just like that, but it's a good thing he was away just as well. And they must be pretty thick if they tried to storm Buckingham without even checking to see if Harry was there in the first place.

From:

alt_padma

Well, Sandoval says that they've already told the trainees about a thousand times that no matter how much work they do, there's no substitute for the criminal being thick.

So maybe he just made a mistake. I really hope they catch him soon, though. I don't like to think about murderers running about London when we're all so close by. ~~Not after~~

From:

alt_pansy

Yeah, me neither.

No need to be anxious, Little Bit; the Aurors have the situation well in hand. As Harry has confirmed, he and Mr Lestrange had already left for our holiday hours before the disturbance - and indeed, the guards were glad of a fresh scent to follow.

In any event, your mother was wise to remove you to Gloss House. You are well otherwise?

From:

alt_pansy

I feel better now. Earlier, I was sort of shivery and tired and my stomach hurt a little, but the cocoa after helped. And I've got a fire lit in my room and an extra blanket on my bed for tonight.

From:

alt_lucius

Yes, you should be fine. The reaction is not a-typical.

If you are still feeling piquey in the morning, ask for another serving of cocoa.

From:

alt_pansy

Really?

I don't think you've ever told me to have more sweets.

From:

alt_lucius

It's a fluke. I promise you will hear me recommend the remedy only rarely.

I also assure you I have not lost what remains of my wits.

From:

alt_pansy

I really miss ~~my Pi~~ Regulus a lot right now.

More than usual.

I don't suppose cocoa helps with that too?

From:

alt_lucius

No. But it will help the effect that is making you feel his loss more keenly.

From:

alt_pansy

The effect? So it wasn't just me, was it?

From:

alt_lucius

No, I believe it was induced, given the security measures that were enacted around Buckingham this evening.

But don't worry: The effects you feel are a typical reaction and the chocolate is an equally natural and efficacious cure.

Just don't overdo it.

(You see? I told you I have not gone witless nor entered my dotage ahead of schedule. You need not fear an impersonator.)
