Order Only: Private Message to Frank Longbottom
I was going to do this earlier but I went to watch the Quidditch and then -
Well, I'm sure he's okay. It was bucketing rain, so the ground was really soft.
I saw your Neville, in the stands. That's the real reason I'm writing, actually. Alice said he sent you a letter recently and since then you've been wound like a Swiss clock. He looked well enough. I think that was Evelyn sitting with him, too. She's got Allie's hair, yeah? Only curlier?
The point is, that Allie said you haven't told her what he wrote about, except that it's got you even crankier than usual. And that's got her in a knot, mate.
So. Why am I interfering in the affairs of a married couple? I told Allie I'd ask you if perhaps Neville had written you about the usual kind of things boys don't want their mothers to know. But I doubt you'd be twisting your big plaid knickers if it were the normal sort of thing.
Whatever it is, you ought to tell her. And if I can do anything from here, let me know. I've got a pretty reliable way to get messages to him, I think.
Either way, you're driving Allie right round the twist, and that can't be allowed. So here's me, putting my head in the lion's mouth: Give over, mate, before your head explodes. All right?
And I mean it: If there's anything I can do to help, name it. I told Moony I'd pop down London way but I'll surely be back soon enough - probably before the end of term. I'm not going anywhere before Monday, not with Harry in the hospital wing, anyway.

I did hear about a cat getting mutilated, actually, though I'd not seen anything mentioned. Of course, who would admit such a thing? And at least your son had the wherewithal to keep Evelyn mentioning it on her journal.
But as to there being nothing you can do ... you're wrong. You and Allie send them your love and we'll get it to them. And as to nothing I can do .... we'll see about that. As I said, I've a way to send messages into the castle. I might be able to send a different kind of message if the culprits can be found. And I might be able to find them, too.
Merlin knows it won't bring back her cat - and it won't be nearly enough recompense. But it'll make us all feel better.

But - well, let's put it this way. Padfoot's bark is definitely not worse than his bite.
