Order Only: How are you all?

[alt_sirius]

Moony, is Nymphadora all right? Only that, you know, the full moon's tonight. Have you a way to see she's tended to if she needs it?

Bill? What's been happening? Did you talk to your department head on Friday?

Alice, feeling better? How's Colin bearing up?

I'm sure I sound like a nervous auntie, but give us a clue, will you?

Me, I'm rustling up more supplies for you, paying Sabola and keeping tabs on that situation. It sounds like Remus' owl order business is doing well, so I doubt the wisdom of pulling out from Sabola's operations, at least right away. Clarriker over at Folkestone and a few of the other imports houses have also been in contact through the Calais-Dover channels (by which I mean, Marguerite, who has been invaluable in keeping the home Floo open while I've been filling the larders). It seems that with the restrictions and all, many people are asking for imported goods over domestic. I guess it makes sense that imported substances are less likely to bring in contagion. Odd, since usually it's the other way round in epidemics!

Anyway, I'm doing well. Haven't heard from Harry, but I suppose that's not surprising, given the quarantine. I gather owls are hard to come by.

I just hate waiting for news as much as the next wizard, I suppose.

She's at St Mungo's. She has the sickness.

Colin will be fine. The plans for the garden have really helped him, I think. It's been a lot for him to process, and he's so very young.

I just was a bit shaken up after Bill's close call. Don't you fret, darling. I'll be fine.

You and I both know that it's twice as hard to handle bad news when you must sit back and wait for it to come for you, and can't do anything to fix it. All of this waiting and hiding can get tiresome after a while.

Went into to talk to my boss, Plympton. I couldn't read much in the way of reaction from him when I offered to provide whatever help possible, but at least he didn't reject the offer out of hand.

I'm sure that Bellatrix Lestrange and her merry band will get around to me eventually.
