[Private to Ginny Weasley]

I hate this bloody place.

I have to admit, I'm kind of surprised to still be here. Guess it really could be long term now.

I think I might need a drink, or five.

It's been a while since I've been to Vegas. I have to say, I didn't imagine this would be the way I would return here. And I'm outside my radius. Peter is not going to be happy.

Severus, when I said I thought we should go on vacation together, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

Not sure if this is some cruel joke or simply another all too vivid dream.

Granted, I don't think I would fabricate people like this.

So...whoever is behind this can bring back the dead? Maybe there is a chance I'll see Nathan or Meredith again.

I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up from this. I really, really, really wouldn't mind waking up from this.

Definitely enjoying Las Vegas, but I do miss my kids. Also, if anyone sees a bloke going by Severus Snape, tell him Harry Potter is looking for him. I'd appreciate it.

Can I go back to London, yet?

Well this is quite brilliant isn't it?

Yes, I understand that your name is Siri and that you're here to assist me. I appreciate that. But I would be far more grateful if you could direct me to Miss Mills.

[pause]

I fail to see how you cannot do that. Do try again.

[pause]

Are you being deliberately obstinate, or is it simply a new facet of your personality that I've now discovered?

[pause]

Of course you fail to understand the query. Your grasp of semantics is truly delightful.

[long-suffering sigh]

If you cannot direct me to Miss Mills, then can you not contact her? Is that not the purpose of these devices, to contact individuals and proclaim over and over again how you fail to hear them, thus defeating the entire point of contact in the first place?

[pause]

I see that was an unfortunately complex question. If you cannot contact Miss Mills, then who can you contact?
