Order only: Harry and Nicholas

[alt_sirius]

First, has anyone heard more from Perenelle or Nicholas? I'm concerned - my gut tells me that dratted cousin of mine is watching them like a hawk, wearing out her welcome before they can do anything about it.

Second, on a better note, had another owl from Harry. He's certainly asking questions! Though his latest gives me a proper glimpse of how confused he is:

Father is always worried that someone is going to hurt me .... And I don't think that's very fair. If your friends in England are the people who want to hurt me you should tell them to STOP and make them do it!!!!!

Also, interesting insight, and right in line with what we know to be Voldemort's protectiveness of the lad. I wish I knew why he thinks Harry's so key, but as long as he does, at least we needn't fear for his safety from Voldemort himself, or his loyal followers.

Wild cards like Macscared, however....

Well, anyway, you lot, take care. Poppy, if you want to send me the list you're giving Malfoy, I'll see what I can do about Laszlo having the supplies in stock by the time he gets round to ordering them. No sense your going to the trouble of tricking him into helping only to have the bid go to another vendor. Now if only Nicholas can be freed up to go and fetch them!

D'you think Dung can be trusted to wholesale them on our behalf? No, probably a bad idea. But Laszlo is going to need someone to help with receivership and resale in England, especially if Flamel is compromised. Hm....

Well, I'll have a think on it. Supposed to go out tonight after a Quidditch exhibition and I think Neil Velazquez is going to be there, so it might be a rather late night for me.

I've heard nothing, Sirius, and neither has Bill. Neither of us dares do anything to approach them directly, as we certainly don't want to endanger them. Molly is owling Frank and Alice to see if, for some strange reason, they might have made contact that way.

Kingsley? You?

I haven't heard anything of either of the Flamels - and I have been exercising myself to my fullest for news. It would help if I weren't tied to the school; of course, then we should have a whole other host of problems. Suffice to say that no-one has been quite forthcoming.

As for Mr Marvolo, I am not surprised. I've heard the Lord Protector say such things to him frequently, and I can only imagine they have been redoubled with recent occurrences. I do believe that Marvolo himself may be our best source of knowledge about his importance. You must continue cultivating him carefully, and Granger shall continue encouraging him, I'm sure.

Of course I will!!

That sounds awfully like what he said to me, well, except he didn't say 'your friends' or anything, he only said that he wanted to read more about the beginnings of the Lord Protector's rise to power because he wanted to know more about the kind of people who wanted to hurt him. He said it in passing though and I didn't remember until just now. I'm sorry I didn't say so before.
