Summary: Ernie wants to thank them and also express his concern

Hello,

I wanted to thank you both for dragging me into the world again. I already expressed my regret at burying myself at work to you both, but, again, I'd love to have you over to my place soon. Maybe invite Justin and Susan too? I need to find a way to apologise to them as well.

I am also writing because, frankly, I am concerned about all those disappearances. I've heard rumblings at the office, but I feel like someone does not want me nosing around. Zacharias, do you feel that way at all? Hannah, have you heard anything at the Leaky?

Anyway, I hope you are both well.

Sincerely,
Ernie

Hi,

There is no need to apologise and I know only far too well what it is like to be too caught up in work. And you know I'm always willing to see you, just tell me when and I'll be there.

As for the disappearances, wasn't the Minister rather clear yesterday? All of them were in some way investigating Lestrange or ran into him in some way. As long as we don't, we should be safe. Let the Auror's and Hit-wizards do their job and be the ones to be put at risk. Of course, there is nothing wrong with making sure to offer our advice.

Sincerely,
Zach

Zacharias,

Yes, they were clear, but...you know me. Perhaps that is why they were whispering. They know I'd tell them to take their idle gossip elsewhere.

~~I'm worried ab---~~ Sitting back and pushing parchment isn't enough for me. Do you ever feel trapped? Like you are not doing enough? I mean...families are being torn apart and I am sitting in an office of law doing nothing of importance.

I thought it would be different, but it takes years to prove yourself, doesn't it?

Sincerely,
Ernie

	Ernie, Don't second guess yourself, Ernie, it does no good and if no one handles the paper work the Ministry would be lost. The ministry, even Aurors and Hit-wizards need order and structure and we're the ones to provide them with it. Sincerely, Zach (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ernie Bear!

I have not heard from you in ages! If you don't come out of hiding again soon, I may have to come to your place again and stand outside your door in my knickers, singing at the top of my lungs.

I'm demanding that you come and see me tomorrow as soon as you get out of that horrid place where they make you their slave for the daylight hours.

I've been keeping up with the Prophet, but have heard nothing besides what was in the paper. If I do, I'll be sure to pass it on to everyone.

Love,
Hannah

	Hannah, So you think I am wasting energy in my department? Zach said not to doubt myself. It seems so easy, but...I don't know. It's never simple, is it? There has to be more to it. Love, Ernie (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ernie Bear!

Absolutely not! I'm sure whatever you do is VERY important to the Ministry at large. I'm sure one day the Minister himself will kiss your feet.

If I learned anything in the war, things - especially disappearances and murders are never easy. But the Minister insists we're safe, so we shouldn't question him. Should we?

Love,
Hannah

P.S. You are coming to see me tomorrow!

	Hannah, I push parchment basically. I mean I've been promoted, but it never seems high enough. I'm impatient. I think we should. Some blokes in my department were muttering, but I didn't hear much. I don't see why they don't have faith working at the Ministry. Love, Ernie P.S. Oh am I? I DO have a very important job, you know... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie Bear! Patience is a virtue you obviously missed, love. I personally don't want to stick my nose in the Ministry's business right now. But if you feel secure enough in your job to do it, then by all means do some research. I give you my blessing. Love, Hannah P.S. YES! Or else there will be naked singing outside your door tomorrow night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannah, But we knew this. Aw, I'll tell tham that if I get my arse canned. Love, Ernie P.S. Oh, Merlin, what would my neighbors think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie Bear! Yes, we did. It's still sad. I'm sure they'll be lenient on you... Love, Hannah P.S. They might enjoy the show...you never know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannah, Well, I am special. Love, Ernie P.S. Oh, you win. I'll come by the Leaky, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
