Owl to Adrian Pucey
An immense Arctic owl beat a furious tattoo with wings, beak, and talons against Adrian Pucey's window in the small hours of the night, long before the Sunday church bells would ring to summon the faithful to prayer.
It carried a tiny bottle that rattled faintly, and a hastily-scrawled but very carefully-warded note.
Dear Adrian,
Draco Malfoy came to me at Hogwarts an hour ago, better than half-dead. Poppy says he's been poisoned, maybe for years, but she doesn't know with what. He apparently blamed the pills I'm sending you a few of, and stopped taking them. We don't know where he came by those, either, but our best guess is they've kept him alive. The side effects seem to be bad. He's been so eccentric lately. Could all this be at fault?
Please, Draco needs expert help. I know I'm in a very bad place to be asking you favours, but I trust you not to let my foolishness injure someone else. I've sent to Snape at S&J's as well.
We haven't sent word to his parents yet. Too many complications.
In haste,
--H.G.
