Order Only: Private Message to the Old Fogies

[alt_sirius]

Hermione has requested a small get-together tomorrow at ours to celebrate and remember Minerva.

Actually, this invitation is open to everyone, but it's as good a reason as any to test this newfound PM system.

So please extend it to any of the 'Juniors' who presumably can't see this. Three o'clock.

Private Message to Nymphadora

Oh. Of course, my dear. But I thought you'd mentioned a visit to St Mungo's. Was that not an ante-natal check?

Unless... Did you not feel comfortable with the specialist you saw?

I did, and everything looks to be in order.

But there were additional things about this particular go-round that I couldn't talk about with her, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it just so we can keep a proper eye on everything.

Nothing bad. Just different enough to bring some uncertainty into the mix.

It was Albus's idea for me and Charlie to go through a ceremony at Beltane to see if that'd help with the wards. And the good news is, it worked? Only I don't know whether this particular bun-in-the-oven will be different while it's baking, or what to expect when Bap decides to grace us with an appearance.

Or, rather, it worked in that I got spectacularly knocked up. Who knows? Could be a coincidence, but it certainly didn't feel that way at the time. And we could end up with a wonderfully marvellously normal Bap that has no effect on the wards at all. Which would be fine, of course.

Albus--?

Right. I believe I'll have a bit of a conversation with him. And, yes, I quite agree that I ought to see you. We can discuss it this afternoon.

My dear, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to come this afternoon, after all. The hospital wing is suddenly Hogwarts' most popular destination.

I've two casualties of the new sparring course and another pair of young idiots who've bloodied one another with fisticuffs. And, of course, the first pair were practising curses that are not at all simple to reverse.

Do apologise to Sirius and the others, will you?

Sorry to hear it. Course I will, and I'll come up in person in a week or so, yeah?
