Checking in as promised. Yesterday I spent the entire day in the National Library of Scotland snooping about and looking for ideas for possible locations. Today I explored a few. So far, all has gone well.
Thank James for me, the summer estate is beautiful and it is quite nice to have a safe place to go back to at the end of the night. I am making good use of the quiet evening to catch up with my reading.
I wanted to tell you that Sirius is more than angry at me. I can't blame him. He had wanted to come with me, and I slipped away in the middle of the night without telling him. I didn't want him to put himself at risk, especially because I wanted him to be able to be there for you and James should you need anything. Would you mind writing to him to see how he is? It may be a while before he wants to talk to me, again.
So far, though, the journey has been a piece of cake. I hope this letter finds you quite well.
