Ukraine won. Raining like the dickens, all through the match. Soaked to the skin.

I started sneezing just as I began to Apparate home--lucky I didn't splinch myself. Though I think I did leave a bit of my moustache behind. Hard to tell for sure, but a patch of my lip feels tingly.

I'm having a dose of Pepper-Up, and a bath to keep off the cold.

An owl from Jean-Paul arrived while I was gone. Hm. Wants to know if I fancy having drinks next week. Perhaps.

Let's see what's happening at Hogwarts....

Oh, sod it, Carrow's traumatising the children, what a surprise. Longbottom, if you're reading this, he's a git. He's always been a git. Unfortunately, he's a git with power for the moment, so don't let him frighten you, but don't tempt him, the sadist.

Monster Book of Monsters? Are they still using that text? Raw meat will let you get in close enough, then stroke the spine; that'll do the trick, er, Hermione.

Hm, the Gryffindor prefect seems to have his nose alternately in the air and wedged between Death Eaters' buttock-cheeks. Percy Weas...not Molly Prewett's middle boy, is it? Well, I never. A son of a Prew--

Reg.

Reg?

Is that really you?

my God....

Thank you - I'll try that next time - only it wasn't really for me, you know, I just - well, in any case I will try it, and thank you for the suggestion, sir.

[alt_sirius]

Wasn't for y--?... Half a moment, you're the library assistant, aren't you? The Muggle-born girl that slimy Prefect was insulting earlier this week?

Oh, right, then.


...Who was it for?

Hang on...Longbottom saw Carrow being his usual despicable self. I take it Carrow's abusing a friend of yours? Murderous bastard

[alt_hermione]

It wasn't for anyone!

[alt_sirius]

Oh, I see.

Stockpiling it, then, are you? Figure bruise liniment will come in handy when the wind blows in winter?

... Look, it's all right. Sorry if I seem ... gruff. I've just had rather a shock -- someone I thought was gone a long time ago ... well, that's old-people stuff, you don't want to hear about that. Just ignore the lunatic in the corner.

ORDER ONLY

[alt_hermione]

I'm sorry I was so skittish. I forgot that I could do this. I'm so used to not telling people anything you see.

I just had a turn because of Terry, and you're right, you're absolutely right about what it was for. Only I didn't think about Order Only, which I ought to have done, and now I'm terribly worried that they'll find out you see - not think that it was just his own magic healing him.

But it will be all right. I think.

ORDER ONLY

[alt_sirius]

McGonagall has you in the order?

Bit young, aren't you?

But don't fret. Carrow is a bully and a menace, but it's nothing Pomfrey wouldn't have done herself.

Terry...he's "boot", right?

ORDER ONLY

[alt_hermione]

Oh I know it's the greatest honor - I'm the youngest by a decade at least - but she couldn't really have me working on the pamphlets and having a journal without some way to contact people, and she wasn't going to let me have the secret of how to write Order Only without being a member, so here I am, and I've got an Unbreakable Vow on me about it, but I don't mind as it lets me use this!

Yes, Terry's "boot." I wish he'd stop calling himself that. But he won't.

Jean-Paul?
