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.

Unless you think we could use it as a voodoo doll for Kreacher?

[alt_nymphadora]

Er. The squeak's grating enough as it is. Imagine what sound it might make if we let you start sticking it with pins.

Though. There was a perfectly evil looking hat pin in the lot last night.

[alt_lupin]

I'm all for letting that doll stay lost. Maybe we could tell Kreacher that if he shows us where the rest of it is, we'll let him dispose of the doll?

I really thought I'D misplaced those slippers, it's why I didn't say anything. I felt terrible, losing my present less than a month after I got it.

[alt_nymphadora]

Agreed.

Ta, love. I felt awfully silly to have given you slippers when it turned out Mangy'd given you some, too. I wasn't surprised when you wore his. Maybe we could let the elf keep those, too, if he likes them. Except. Would that amount to giving him clothes?

[alt_lupin]

Oooh, it might at that. I've never seen a house-elf with shoes.

[alt_sirius]

He'd take it that way, doubtless. And we certainly can't set him loose.

[alt_nymphadora]

Well, perhaps we can find something he could keep. Something that's not clothes at all, but that he'd value. Maybe then he wouldn't be so anxious for the other things that were your parents' belongings.

He seems to live very much in the past. And I'm sure it's hard for him to accept that we've barged in and taken over everything here.
