I also wanted to apologise to those I met when I first [...]
I have a question, and bear with me for how ridiculous it sounds. Was Donna Noble there all day? She spent the afternoon with me -- said that Dr. Crusher gave her permission to take the afternoon off. But she's telling me that she was in medical all day.
So it's been decided that we're going to have an impromptu family gathering, and if you can read this, you're family. And because it's come to my attention that you lot didn't celebrate Neville's birthday when it happened, that's what we're doing now. Part of it. There's a lot of things that haven't been told, stories that need to be laughed at, a kid that needs to meet the rest of his family for real.
And Remus just really needs us all together. And I agree with him him. We all need to be together right now.
added five minutes later...
And someone needs to get Carmichael out of medical, just for tonight.
I have been told the two of you are my roommates. I am Severus Snape, and I hope that it is generally a quiet apartment.
How are you all fairing?
Checking in. What is everyone's status at this point?
Did you get sick as well?
How are you coping?
Right. Sorry if I sound cross, I don't mean to be, but here:
We're in a spot we don't know about, with people who don't know us, and we're being quite open about wands and magic and Muggles? Is that a thing that we're doing? I've done it, too, I'm sure some of the conversations I've had with some of you can be read by anyone. We don't know who these people are.
All I'm saying is, certain secrets might want to stay secret. And I'd appreciate it if certain furry secrets weren't mentioned at all. Ever. To anyone.
[...] Thank you for your time.
Thank you for all your help getting accustomed to things here. And teaching me how to use this thing.
