Owl: Dora to Harry Date: April 1st, 2006 Characters: Dora and Harry Location: Skies above Hogsmeade Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: None Summary: In which a favour is needed.
With Antonin's offer still fresh in her mind, Dora picked up her quill and sat down at her classroom desk. She had a job offer, it seemed. One she'd certainly not had to beg and please for like she had to get her old Auror job back full time. But maybe it was because she'd begged and pleaded that she wasn't willing to completely disregard it immediately. After all, it would have only proved Percy right. Still, Antonin's offer was attractive if he'd meant it. She didn't quite know where she stood.
Perhaps working towards her goals as an Auror would at least help put some sort of direction back in her life, and if it really looked as if it wasn't going to look out, Antonin's offer was always there. It would prove her flightiness and indecisively prone mind once and for all if she switched away yet again, but at least she had options. She didn't have to exhaust them all at once.
Dora dipped the quill in ink after a short nod. She'd start working towards her original idea, yes. It was all very possible that it simply wouldn't work. She had, after all, completely crumbled in the face of crucio. But maybe she could salvage something out of this yet.
Dear Harry,
I'm afraid I need a bit of a favour from you, if you don't mind.
I remember when Sirius died you were left the old family house at Grimmauld Place. Did you ever sell it? Don't know if you would have or not, but if you haven't, I was wondering if I might be able to get inside. I need to have a look at the family tree and a few books, if anything proves useful. Mum doesn't have anything around the flat, which is perfectly understandable. I just need to do some research. It likely won't even amount to anything..
