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.

no subject
short answer to your question is there's nothing you can do, there's nothing she can do either, and it's the sort of thing I'd rather she not be burdened with. and neville thinks so too.
no subject
Why? Is -
Has Neville's letter got to do with Evelyn, then?
And what do you mean you're not going to burden her with it? Since when does Alice need protecting?
no subject
I know that.
I just don't want to hurt her.
and she's gonna go spare, man.
I know I did.
