Well, Francine and I are now in possession of one William Christiansen, age one week.

But there's a problem. His parents were only too happy to give him to me and the missus, er, Frank, but that's largely because he's got some health concerns. Specifically there's a problem in his heart and lungs - worrisome enough that we didn't want to take him to Stephen without a fully qualified Healer's opinion. His breathing is quite raspy and his heartbeat is a little irregular, sounds like. His mother said that he takes milk quite readily, though - but that he coughs rather a lot after feeding. (We've not had to experience that yet, but Frank's getting a bottle ready as we speak.)

We're heading back now and should be at the Shrieking Shack by nightfall. Can you break away to examine the boy?

Absolutely.

I will be in touch before I leave here to confirm that you've made it and that the way is clear on your end.

Are you there, Sirius?

How's the child?

Is all quiet on your end if I were to come through?

we're here, poppy, come on over.

he's sleeping in fits and starts and has been crying quite a bit, and he didn't keep down more than half what he ate.

I shall be there as quickly as my feet will carry me. I'm bringing more blankets. And my healer's case, of course.

And chocolate.

Are you feeling the Dementors yet? The Hogsmeade council have been complaining bitterly that their seasonal business is suffering.

Right. Got it all.


Now if I can just get away without attracting notice.

it is a good sight colder than I'm used to, but we've been taking turns with our patronuses, for the baby and all.

we'll be waiting.

I'm here safely.

It is quite serious, I'm afraid.

Which is to say that you were right after all, so if you feel you can pull it off, do go ahead. The worst you're likely to see is a bed-wetter and a sniffly nose or two. At any rate, there's no point in your hanging around, watching the willow for me.
