Fine.

Tell me why the fuck I shouldn't hunt him down and kill him.

Because I could. And I'm looking for reasons not to.

You better be fast.

*door opening, monitoring charm activated*

... and you just let him threaten me with impugnity. I told you he was dangerous.

Noticed a storm on the horizon about an hour ago. Not ordinarily a problem since the trainees have all passed level 4, which covers weather issues, but apparently this area of Pembrokeshire suffers from intermittent magical dead zones when storms pass over the coast, something Dawlish does not appear to have researched. (Add a note to Auror Lively's file: excellent at proactive research.)

Forecast from the storm (as per a local Muggle at the docks) is heavy winds and rain, possible flooding of low areas, expected to lessen around 4 AM. Decision as it stands is to continue with the field exercise.

Don't be ridiculous. Come home. Lily hasn't even got a properly warm cloak on, and she doesn't have Boo.

Mavis, can I interest you in a beer or three Monday evening? I'm buying, my brother's talking. It's about that thing I asked about.

Thanks,
Bill Weasley

*Floo call opened*

Hey! A hand here! And hurry up, these international floos aren't cheap!

The note is splotched with whisky (and reeks of it) and is written in a shaky hand.

I have Lily. I took her and left earlier today. She's sleeping now and I'm drinking. I told her we were on an adventure and she was so excited. She doesn't know what this means. I didn't even take clothes for either of us. There's a Muggle shopping centre down the street. I suppose I can take her over tomorrow to find jeans and pants for both of us.

You win. I suppose. Be thrilled. Fuck you.

Harry

Blaise!

Blaise are you there?

Am I suppose to feel chastised? Well I just feel even angrier.

How dare you just disappear like that? And to take Lily without warning or even letting talk to us and know when she will be coming home. It's completely unacceptable.

[Vega also carries, carefully wrapped: Boo, Lily's pyjamas and a red velvet cape, and a copy of The House at Pooh Corner bookmarked at the second chapter.]
