Order Only: Private Message to Poppy Pomfrey

Will's taken a turn for the worse.

We couldn't have a fire all yesterday of course, because of MLE all over the village. I cast warming charms on the room but they had to be refreshed every so often. And last night especially with the Dementors patrolling, it got really cold.

I changed form and Frank and me put Will under the blankets with us to keep him warm, but this morning his cough is worse. I know you probably can't come down but - what should we do?

The shops are open. I could Polyjuice myself long enough to get into Honeyduke's.

Leave the bundle at the tunnel behind the one-eyed witch, all right? And I'll come get it from there. Detailed notes, please - I've no gift for Healing!

Does it - I mean, I know he's contagious, but would it make sense for Frank to take him back to Moddey Dhoo right off, and quarantine him there? At least he'd be more comfortable.

Are the symptoms truly worsening? Sometimes things seem terrifying at night that are not so severe after breakfast.

I'm torn, honestly. I think there's a risk in Apparating with a sick infant. It's an undoubted strain on the heart, which is already compromised, and with his pneumonia, I just distrust it.

On the other hand, it may honestly be your only hope if you cannot keep your lodgings warm enough. And with my hands tied as they are, he'd certainly get more attentive care from Stephen.

It's your call, Sirius, and I trust you and Frank to make it.

I will go ahead and place this care package in the tunnel for you. If you are staying behind, you may find its contents helpful for your own use.

I'll see what Frank thinks. I haven't said anything to him because I don't want to influence his opinion about Will's condition.

Merlin. I dunno. But at least getting the supplies will give us options. I'll just tell Frank and then I'm on my way.
