Order Only Private Message to Ms Tonks

Er. Hi.

I hope you're not really busy tonight or anything, but we think Hydra needs help. Or, well. We think she's in trouble. With her father. She wrote and told us he caught her and Justin together and took Justin somewhere and she was in the middle of writing that she was afraid what he was going to do when she just stopped, so we think her father came back to punish her. Or something.

And she hasn't written any more to let us know if she's all right. Or if Justin is.

Anyway, we thought if you were to write her a note in public, y'know, it would make her father remember that other people would notice if anything happened to Hydra.

I don't reckon it will really stop whatever he's doing, but maybe... it won't be so bad? Or at least maybe he'd let her answer you, and then we'd know- that she could?

I don't know. But could you? Write to her, I mean?

It would make us feel like we'd tried to do something to help, I guess.

Thanks.

Of course, I will. Just now.

But, Ron, have you lot told anyone else besides me? Have you told your mum, for instance? I'm not sure what I think is best, exactly, but I do think the Order ought to be told. Or some of the rest of us, anyway. Why did you only write to me, is what I'm asking. Is there a reason you don't want the others to know?

[alt_ron]

No!

Um. No, I haven't told Mum. And I-

I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, she couldn't really do anything to help Hydra, and it's just that, well. What's happened isn't really something Hydra or Justin's going to really want the whole world knowing about, y'know? Really.

So. I don't know. Terry Boot said he was going to tell the Longbottoms, only he hasn't said whether he found them or what they said if he did. I thought they'd've written something to someone by now, only they haven't so...

Only, they could be in really giant trouble, Hydra and Justin. And the longer it goes on and we haven't heard anything back from them, well...

Could you maybe tell Mr Black and Mr Lupin and see what they think? Maybe the three of you'll think of something we can do that would actually help.

I mean, on top of your writing Hydra, which was- what you said was just the right sort of thing, I think.

I think the Order are involved now. I'm sorry I wasn't able to head that off.

I take it none of you lot have heard from either of them, yet?

[alt_ron]

Actually, Hydra's got her journal back and she's told Malf Draco that she's all right.

Justin's locked up somewhere in a dungeon, though, and her father is planning a duel. That's not good.

I mean, really not good.
