For all and sundry

Mister Boot will be in residence here for the next few days at the very least. He will need that long to recover from an infectious pneumonia that was taken root deep in his lungs and I must have him on hand to monitor his recovery.

I trust there are no objections.

Pneumonia! Poppy, is that really what's wrong with him, or is it Carrow again? How serious is it?

What do you think? Of course it was that miserable excuse for a human being.

When I woke this morning, I found the poor boy, still damp, asleep just outside my door. He was still shivering even as he slept.

I've managed to warm him and coax him into one of the beds, not the easiest task I assure you. Whether it's pneumonia or not remains to be seen, but he's not leaving my care for now.

I was afraid Carrow would whip him or hex him badly after that essay. You don't mention injuries, but you say it was Carrow--wait, why was he wet? What, has Carrow been dumping water over him or something?

I'm afraid your guess is as good as mine, Molly, but he is completely exhausted and he was wet when he got here. The why's of it, I haven't found answers to yet.

May I bring him books? Could you hide them?

Of course you can, Hermione. The hospital wing is my province, the books you bring will be quite safe.

I daresay he could use a friend right now.

Would it be alright if we visit him?
