Order Only

Sirius?

Are you still here? I suppose I'm to congratulate you on having kept so successfully to cover that I really thought you'd withdrawn elsewhere.

Of course, Pomona is telling me nothing. And I'm not speaking with her enough to have asked.

Don't think this means I approve, but I should like to know that you are all right. And I should like very much to hear that you are planning to shift yourself off to some safer place whilst the NEWT and OWL examiners are tromping about.

Is it not today that the NEWT Herbology exams take place?

Don't hold it against Pomona. She's not the only one who feels the better that I've been nearby.

Anyway, yes, she made sure I knew to keep scarce today. I've another place to hide myself for the time being.

That's

And I'm fine. Bit on the hungry side but that's only because I'm not sure which ones were Carrow's rats.

I shall hold against Pomona what I will, but it's more than her covering for you that annoys me.

It begins with her refusal to join us in these pages in properly discussing the matters that concern us. So then when she goes off and does what she pleases, she need never answer a question or present her side.

It's completely infuriating, and you may tell her so when you see her next.

I'm not an owl.

No, indeed.

If you were, you'd be far less trouble. And a deal more use.
