alt_siriusFour days later and I still have occasional spasms. Morgana, this not being able to be Padfoot is almost as bad as when Bella cursed me and I had to stay Padfoot.
Mostly it's just being stuck in this house all the time, with that wretched elf.
I've been thinking about what we can do to prevent him betraying us if something should happen to me. Obviously, the orders I've issued him never to contact anyone who hasn't been told the secret of the Fidelius is perfectly effective while I'm alive. The question is what he'll do once I'm no longer his master. Will he accept the will as it's written, will he decide that Bella or Narcissa are his new mistresses, will he defer to Draco or Hydra or will he go and hang himself with my father's bootlaces?
It's complicated, because my mother's will actually left the property to Narcissa but my father's magical protections meant she couldn't take possession of the house. I wrote a will as soon as we were able to open it up, of course. But will Kreacher honour it if I'm not in the picture?
I think there are a few possible solutions but none of them are guaranteed. Since I can't do much else with this ankle still healing, and with my tremors I better not handle sensitive potions measurement, we may as well discuss the options.

Date: 2013-11-17 05:44 am (UTC)When I was ten, there was a boy we knew, just about Reg's age. They decided he must have been a Squib. His parents Obliviated him and left him at a Muggle orphanage. We never heard what happened to him after that.
Not that we'd ever abandon Frank but - well, the idea of losing one's magic it's just ... unthinkable.
The main thing is not to treat him like an invalid just because he can't lift a wand at present. Normal as possible. And keeping him occupied.
I told Alice I'll come back out to Moddey and challenge him to a race or something. Also thought maybe he'd like to spend some time in Saltash since he can't do magic there even if he had the option. Might help him to get his mind off things.
Albus must have had a clue this might happen. He can't have just allowed Frank to try it without warning him this might be the consequence, surely.
