Ron,

Rachel just caught me coming out of the salle; she's heard from one of her informants and has reason to believe that the Baddocks--or possibly someone else on our list, what, but most likely the Baddocks--are going to attempt to break through the wards tonight.

I'm going. The intelligence she got suggests they'll be trying to leave through Penzance. We know the name of the vessel they chartered.

If you want to come along, I'll not stop you. If you'd rather not, I quite understand.

Hydra, all my love. I should be home later if all goes well.

-Justin

Ron, I'm so sorry, old chap. How dreadful for you all.

Is there anything one can do for you or the family? I say, do you need anything? How can I help?

Sally-Anne, should you think of anything that would bring comfort, what, do let me know.

-J

Hallo, Terry,

How are you? I say, we've all descended upon the Weasleys, to do what we can to help them. I do wish we could have everyone together, you and Hermione. I'm sure you'd have liked to come, if it were possible, what?

Ron's holding up, I suppose. It's helped that so many of us are here, though there's a constant stream of well-wishers. And Mr Weasley's lying in state, as it were, and that's a bit, odd, but I suppose one gets used to it.

But then something very curious happened. Hydra's cousin, Mrs Ponds, came to visit with her husband and their daughter. And they brought the family dog along.

Pansy and I had never met their dog but we did know this dog.

I say, Terry, old man, when you were learning animagery, did you.... Did you by chance have help from Sirius?

Because we're pretty well certain he's masquerading as the Ponds' dog.

Are we right? Ought we to share it with the others?

I'm sure you have loads of questions as have we but--oh, dash it, I wish you could be here with us all. Not just so we can all talk but for Ron, as well. Do you think it's possible? We could say you're some country cousin no one would be likely to know. No one would think twice, there are so many people about.

Could you come? If not, I hope you can answer, at least.
