Re: Al, Severus, Lily
Severus sighed, irritated at the thoughtlessness of trying to communicate with Al by a method that relied on speech. With a wave of his wand he conjured his own Patronus, and sent it to James, asking him to re-send to him the message he'd just sent to Al.
"Well, whatever the matter was," he sighed, "we'll know soon enough."
"Fortunately," he turned to assure Lily, "nothing I have left to do will be disturbed by stray magic from a Patronus."
