Alfie had been turning what Wayne had told him over and over in his head all night. He didn't want to believe it, but Wayne had cast a patronus! And he'd been so adamant about it, and so sure about Potter, and it was just everything ta Alfie had been worried about since they'd heard that Potterwatch broadcast weeks ago...

He knew one thing, though. He had to tell his sisters. Because if something bad was going to happen at Hogwarts, then they'd just have to be ready for it, wouldn't they? The idea of anyone he knew being hurt just didn't really make sense to him. Not at Hogwarts, where it was safe. It was even hard to really believe the sort of danger he knew his mum was in, outside. How could those things come and get them here, too?

Ellie really didn’t know what to think about what Alfie had wrote in his journal. She didn’t get how something could be both good and bad at the same time and it really rather worried her. There was enough bad things going on right now that she didn’t know how she felt about more happening. But she tried to not let herself get too worked up about it. It wouldn’t do to get herself worked up into a tizzy when she didn’t even know what Alfie had to tell her.

So she busied herself around her dorm room while she waited, making certain that she tucked her journal under her pillow and had put one of her muggle pens with it. She liked keeping a pen handy with her journal. And it wasn’t long after that she grabbed her cloak and checked she had her wand and made her way out of the Hufflepuff house and toward the front doors. She’d much rather be early than late after all. It was actually a good thing she headed there though because as she got closer she caught sight of Alfie.

“Alfie, hey!”

"Hey!" He said, coming up to meet her when he caught her coming to the doors. He gave her a hug - realizing suddenly just how much he towered over her now, and he felt like all arms and too long legs when he let her go. "Come on, it's not that bad outside tonight. We can probably make it to the Pitch and back with enough time to sneak to the kitchens or something before curfew..."

"Oooh, hugs," Ellie said with a happy grin, wrapping her arms easily around Alfie's waist and pulling tight against him. It was comforting to her that they still did this. He was her twin and one of her best friends and she really didn't want to imagine what it would be like if he thought it was too awkward or embarrassing to hug her. Ellie could easily remember all that times she'd sought him out just because she needed (or wanted) a hug. "So you mean you aren't trying to drag us out into the cold to chat like I did Dorny? But I'm all for a trip to the kitchens before curfew when we come back! We can get cocoa."

"You dragged him out in the cold on purpose?" Alfie scowled a little, but he did shrug too and then started for the doors, pushing them open and letting her out before him so that they swung closed heavily after he stepped out, turning up his collar. "Anyway, it'll be Spring soon." He couldn't believe there were only four more months for school. What they hell would they do this summer, if things were still this bad for their mum?

"Not on purpose!" Ellie said, frowning unhappily up at Alfie. "It was when you two were having that disagreement and I wanted to talk to him. I just sort of forgot that it'd gotten so cold already." And she had. She really hadn't meant to drag him out somewhere so cold, but he'd agreed! Plus she hadn't kept him too long, he'd frustrated her too much. "It will! I can't wait for it to warm up and everything to start coming back to life. It's always so pretty." There was something lovely about Hogwarts covered in snow as well, but the novelty always ended quickly when faced with the bitter cold.

	"Yeah," Alfie answered, shortening his steps until he was paced with her and they could walk comfortably together. "I just hope we're here to see it, you know?" With what Wayne had said might happen, he wasn't sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alfie's words nearly brought Ellie to a stop, but instead she just frowned at him and twisted her hands nervously. "You think that we might not be able to come back next year?" The very idea was inconceivable to Ellie. It would be their final year at Hogwarts! There wasn't any way they couldn't not come and finish their education. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No, that's not what I meant, I just..." Alfie trailed off with a shrug and a furtive look around. He wasn't sure how to bring it up, really, so it was better just to get it out.

"Look, I visited Wayne in the hospital, and he told me some stuff. You know that radio show, thing are way worse than even they said. Wayne said that Potter wrote to all his friends, and says something, them you know? Might be coming to Hogwarts. And Ginny Weasley has some secret club of students to fight them."
