The Quest

Fabian and I have returned from our camping holiday in darkest South Wales. A bit of spelunking, a bit of getting away from it all, a bit of hiking, and a lot of ancient woodlands and picturesque ruins.

Even a few of the Welsh were there, if you can believe it!

What did we miss?

[Warded to McGonagal and the Brothers Prewett]

Headmistress,

Fabian and I have found that our improvised method of map-dowsing was successful. It allowed us to locate Bangor Tewdws, which, when we announce the finding, will be the foremost discovery of magical archaeology of the 21st century. You may need to give us endowed chairs in archaeology and establish Hogwarts' claim to the site through us to keep it from getting ruined. Fabian will probably want to negotiate terms with you.

On a very practical note, the method we've got will be ideal for finding the horcruxes, but we'll need three things.
1: a related artifact to use as the dowsing focus
2: a large scale map
3: a high-ceilinged greatroom in which to spread the map.

Can we ask you for the loan of the Hogwarts commons and the Sword of Godric Griffyndor? We will give them back when we're done.

So we’re down one with one on the loose.
Anyone else having a stiff drink to start the day?

[Warded to Rodolphus]
One problem gone, but one gained. Thoughts?

[WARD TO PREWETT TWINS ]
What do you two know about Dark Marks? The tattoo variety rather than the ominous one in the sky. And how it may or may not work with or against the Order Pact?

[WARD TO LILY EVANS]
Lily.

I really don’t mean to be dramatic, but the world hates, me doesn’t it? This is punishment for actually being happy. I am also still switching between wanting to rattle him and wanting to wrap him up and never let anything touch him.

This is also a very solemn question: am I a bad friend? Specifically have I been a bad friend to Peter?
[/WARD TO LILY]


[WARD TO FLORRIE]
As a general inquiry, what do you know about trauma? Mental rather than purely physical. What sort of treatment options are out there?

Peter is at the flat. Let’s try not to kill him. Please.

Dark Mark at Mungo's. Appeared in reception, up the stairs to the cafe, vanished. All patients and visitors accounted for. Chaos & injuries, nothing worse. DMLE on scene taking reports. I'm fine.

Family text: (includes Merc & Aunt Minerva) Dark Mark at Mungo's a prank. Not injured, just shaken, questioned by DMLE, working late. Send biscuits.

Week and a half since Hogsmeade and do you think that the DMLE has so much as updated the bloody residents on whether or not we ought to keep an eye out for any more great bloody skulls in the sky? Course not.

Feeling very secure, ta much Ministry. Feel free to move as slowly as you like.

[WARDED TO THE MARAUDERS & LILY]

An update for the inquiring minds:

1. I have had no less than 4 MiniPadfoot sightings. That dog continues to be a menace.

2. I have made good progress on setting parameters for the spell work to track physical state. So far I have terms set for: home, at work, school, in transit, garden (because those gnomes are vicious), sleep. I am still working to define a "lost" and maybe even a "mortal peril" although so much variation.

What I am still getting stuck on is the part of imbuing a likeness into an object. Obviously my attempt with the wolf was an utter failure, but we have to be on the right track.

3. If anyone is coming by the flat, I accept any and all offerings of food.

[WARDED TO LUCIUS, NARCISSA, & RODOLPHUS]

Have you any success in your task? I am quite interested to see how the items might compare with each other. At the very least I could use a consultation before handing over one of the two chalices I have as promised.

What did you all think of the Fawley article? Other than being amused by Sirius and the Prewetts, excuse me, Mrs Weasley.
