Private Message to Sue and Cedric and sod it all Justin

[alt_ernie]

just got a message from my folks.

some arse claiming to be from the ministry said they were seizing the shop. Because Pip and Laurie and me didn't let ourselves get killed or whatever. Or possibly because I decided to stick around here. So it's most likely my fault.

I guess they'd talked to Pip and Laurie about what happened at Hogwarts after the Prophet story came out. Pip said they were well angry about that. So when the letter from the arse came round, they sort of grabbed what stock they could and ran for the family farm in Scotland and need someone to fidelius them and I don't know how and I figured someone in your lot did? They might get

I don't know what they might get.

but they need help. So here I am, asking for it.

Today wasn't enough of a shit day, I guess.

Ernie,

I'm sorry, I can't come with you at present.

I recommend you speak to Mr Lupin or barring that, Nymphadora Tonks. Or Mrs Weasley, if she's in the castle tonight.

I say, if it comes to that, nearly anyone in the Order could help you find someone who can perform the Fidelius. You're quite right not to delay.

If you can't find someone to go there, perhaps your family could come to Hogwarts for the time being, for their safety.

Malfoy and your wife made sure I wouldn't stab anyone in the back, but made it clear I wasn't particularly

you know.

whatever.

I'm sure it's been a well trying, devastating day. You have my sympathy, old man.

But yes, they'll help you.

Would you prefer that I write to someone on your behalf?

I've put the word out. Someone in the castle should approach you shortly and we'll see what we can do.

Those letters are going around. We're working on it. I've told everyone but, if you can report it to one of out the Aurors in the castle with full details, when everyone's safe, and you have the chance. That'd be good.

Of course we'll help.

[alt_ernie]
