Dear Rodolphus,
I'm sorry this has taken so long. I meant to write sooner, but I've been buried in work. I apologise.
Minister Umbridge called me in to speak with her just a few days back. She would like me to work for her, in an unofficial capacity, of course. She thinks I'm a rather sympathetic character... parents killed by Death Eaters when I was fifteen, raised by an estranged uncle. You're familiar with my sob story by now. I neglected to mention the amount of time I've spent with you and the others. Anyway, I'm to report anything suspicious that happens at the shack to her office, though that's something I would do in the first place as a responsible healer. She's hinted (and I told her frankly) that if I comply I'll be high on her list in consideration for a position as Head Healer of our potions department.
You know as well as I do that that's a position I deserve anyway. I'm sure you'd recognise the fact if you were in charge. I was laughing to myself the entire meeting, I swear it.
And... about two nights ago your niece was kidnapped by Fenrir Greyback. That's the rumour going around, at least. I didn't know if you or Bella would care a great deal, but thought you'd like to know.
How is Bella, by the way? I should likely be by for a check up.
