Order Only: Private Message to Frank and Alice Longbottom

[alt_sirius]

Don't mind Kingsley, Frank. He's jealous. I think that little bit of action was aces for morale - for both of us. And you'll see; they'll never prove anything. Even his own colleagues think Carrow's mad. My bet is that in another couple of days they'll leave it and put it all down to his raving.

As for Neville, you never know if a thing like that might backfire on the people who devised it and actually garner the boy some sympathy.

How's Will today?

yeah well here's hoping min and poppy don't catch any more flak for it.

will's doing fine. steve's got him well in hand. we're keeping him in isolation until we're sure he's not contagious, but his breathing has gotten loads better and he's been eating for two. steve's already written to poppy to ask after things he can give him for his heart.

[alt_sirius]

Yeah.

Good.

[alt_sirius]

I mean to say, obviously Moddey Dhoo was going to be a better place for him. To make a recovery.

It's very quiet here, now.

Though in the case of what you call singing, that's a mercy.

[alt_frank]

Im sure he misses you too mate

one of these days we might have to arrange a visit, yeah?

[alt_frank]

and thanks again man.

good to know there's one person who doesn't think I'm a nutter.

[alt_alice]

They don't think you're a nutter, love.

They're just giving you a hard time.

[alt_frank]

it's not like we don't trust you?

want to beat up some kids, frank?

what is that shit?

[alt_sirius]

Oi, you're just not used to people being disappointed in you, Frank.

I'm telling you, it's because they wanted to do it themselves.

[alt_frank]

right.

if it weren't for the hell they'd put min through

kingsley had a point. the world would be a better place, that's for damn sure.

still. it'd be too high profile. they brought out lestrange for some bruises, his mightiness would come himself if carrow'd taken one punch too many.

[alt_frank]

youd think after all these years theyd know me better than that

[alt_alice]

It's not like that at all, my darling.

They're just coming down hard so you know how displeased they are.
