Order Only: Is it safe?

I think it's after midnight in England.

Molly? Arthur? Is it safe, d'you think? I was afraid to post, even Order Only, for fear your Ron might feel compelled to answer and not know why - and have nothing to answer, at that. But I suppose the lock on the journals means these posts don't even show up in his book, do they? Nor the replies? Not knowing for sure what sort of hex that dreadful girl cast on him, I didn't want to chance it.

Merlin, though, much as I feel for the kid, and it could have gone much worse, mind, but ... that was well done. My cheeks still hurt from smiling. When he wrote that essay for that Death Eater, Selwyn, Circe, I about fell out of my chair laughing. It does bring back memories, that.

One for the books, that was. Er. No pun intended.

At least Selwyn, Malfoy and Crouch have given us one bit of news about Archer. It doesn't seem like his family will suffer too badly apart from his loss. That's something. I wonder, though, what Crouch and Malfoy spent their lunch talking about. I have my theory, but it's just a hunch, nothing more. I'm not sure what Voldemort would want with a ring that bites its owner, though. Seems like a dangerous sort of ornament, even if it did belong to Slytherin, which I doubt highly.

Anyway, Arthur, I see you decided to tell Narcissa about Nymphadora. For once, I hope that she's able to light a fire under Rookwood and get him stirring his cauldron for everyone's sake, not just Nymphadora's.

Moony, I'll assume you made it home all right, but give us a shout when you can to reassure me your furry problem is all cleared up for the next twenty-eight days.
