Order Only: Crouch's alert

[alt_sirius]

Bill? Arthur? Anyone know anything about why Buckingham's on alert?

Merlin, Harry was supposed to go on holiday, but I don't recall if he left today or tomorrow.

Bugger.

They what?!

They left you back at Buckingham? Without Mr Marvolo to keep anyone from meddling with you?

I don't like that at all.

Not one bit.

Oh, mercy!

She's all right, Poppy. I saw her this morning - she took a chance I might come begging for scraps and was right. She looks okay, maybe a bit puffy round the eyes still, but on the mend.

And she mentioned to the others who were there, cool as you please, how sorry she was she couldn't be with her master up in Aldeburgh.

She said no one's really paying her any mind. She promised she'll keep her head down, too, until Harry gets back and they leave for school. If she keeps to his rooms she should be okay.

I'll check on her, Sirius. Let me consult my schedule; I shall need a pretext for going to Buckingham, but I imagine I can summon one up without too much trouble.

That's perfect, Minerva - I didn't want to leave her without anyone to look out for her.

But I don't like Harry being off where we can't check on him, either.

I'll be off, then. D'you suppose it's raining in Suffolk?
