The Dungeons

Too soon, what makes it too soon? Who decides?

Douglas hates me. But that's better, yeah? If he tolerates me, maybe that's enough for a start.

Ginny....

But this. It's like a torch bursting into light. Certainty.

Horace,

Due to a family emergency, I won't be in for work for the next few days. Sirius still has not returned from his jaunt to Russia, and... well, you know Sirius. I'm going after him.

Wort will be staying at Lake Cottage, so she is taken care of. I've already informed Irma of my absence, as well.

I plan to return to work this Friday.

Wish me luck, old friend. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to need it.

Sincerely,
Remus

The note appears blank to anyone but Arthur or Tonks

His magical signature is present at the scene of the attack, and it looks like he ran towards the river afterwards. I'm going to follow up with the Apothecary shops we contacted yesterday, starting with those nearest to his last known position. He has to have run out of potion by now. I, unfortunately, have run out of vodka to bribe the shopkeepers with, but I'll manage without. If we ask Tonks to bill any more alcohol to the Ministry they'll toss her in a detoxification program as soon as she returns.

Molly

(Moony!) Merlin's balls, mate, what are you doing here? The moon's in two days!

Auror Tonks

We may have news of the rogue Auror you are seeking. A male in his 20s or 30s with an English accent and loosely fitting your description has been identified as the kidnapper in an ongoing hostage situation in the last half hour.

We were called to the scene and the suspect injured one of our Aurors. We would have called in our people in force but he is claiming to be an English Auror who has arrested "Voldemort, the bastard" with whom "we're at war". He further claims to be waiting for Harry Potter to come "and do what he always does".

I think it sounds like your man but you'd better hurry. As far as we can tell the hostage is a wizarding tourist from the Netherlands, possibly named Hansie and there have been no signs that he has displayed any signs of Dark Magic. 31 Tamozhennyi pereulok, Vasilevskii Island, St Petersburg. Come quickly. I said I would help but my superiors want this cleaned up now.

Auror Katrina Karamazov

Ron sighted. In pursuit. Not alone; ample back-up close at hand.

Coming now. Will track you via standard Ministry methods. Don't shield.

Going to Viktor. Keep me informed.
