Order Only: Private Message to Remus and Dora

[alt_sirius]

Occurs to me, Dora, there weren't any books in that mess we found last night.

Nor the letter opener.

Also, my cardigan's missing, though I've been sort of assuming one of you might have been the culprit there...

[alt_nymphadora]

Don't look at me!

[alt_sirius]

Oi, I may mock the cardigan, fur-face, but I'd never take it away without giving you another one to replace it.

Even then I suspect you'd just wear the old one until it's in complete tatters.

Thing is. That cloak was my father's. But I can't imagine Kreacher would want it and your cardi in the same place. Two more nests?

[alt_nymphadora]

I hesitate to ask, but whose trousers were those? They didn't look the sort of thing your brother would've worn.

[alt_sirius]

Yeah. Possibly the most disturbing thing in the whole bundle, eh? Not the trousers themselves, mind, but the way he snivelled over us touching them.

They were my father's, as well. Probably ought to send a load of clothes out to Moddey, or the Players, where it's unlikely anyone will notice where they came from. Expect they could all use some decent replacements - and if not, then at least the cloth could be used for something else, perhaps.

[alt_lupin]

That's a good idea.

[alt_lupin]

There's years of wear left in that jumper. YEARS.

At any rate, we've got two categories of things missing still, clearly. There's things Kreacher doesn't want us to have because he thinks they're too good for the likes of us -- the cloak, the letter opener, and I think there was some other heirloom that wandered off that hasn't turned up yet. A comb, maybe? I wasn't sure if that got lost, or if it turned out to be cursed and that's why it vanished.

And then there are things Kreacher's taking just to irritate us -- the cardigan, Dora's book, the doll. Well, maybe he took the house-elf doll because it irritated HIM. I can't say as I blame him, if that's the case.

[alt_sirius]

Good points, Moony.

Not about the cardigan, though.
