Private Message to Justin Finch-Fletchley

Say. I'm down here with Mr Waits--finally caught him home!

If you see this, let me know if you can be around at half-two tomorrow. He needs us both to be there if he's going to reset the locking charm. (I think he thinks we tried setting our own wards and bolloxed them up. At least he doesn't seem too annoyed.)

Ron,

Jolly good show, tracking him down, what.

Only half-two won't do, old man. I shall be with Professor Dolohov until at least three, since he's invited me to dinner after the obstacle course. I say, sorry to trouble Mr Waits, but could you ask if he might come up later? I should say after four, to be perfectly safe. If I'm not already home by then, what, I can certainly make my excuse to Professor Dolohov without seeming at all rude.

All right.

He says four o'clock is all right. It has to be before five, though, because I've got to get to Mum's and get Sally Anne first.

Anywiz, I told him it's only acting oddly for you, not me, but he wasn't really interested in what's gone wonky with it. Just says if it needs to be recast he'll do it this once. (See? He thinks it's something we did.)

Actually, I wonder if it's that chap downstairs. He seems awfully odd. And he keeps queer hours. Have you noticed? I think maybe he's been doing something powerful down there, some rite or something. His drapes are always pulled.

Four will be fine.

I hope you assured him we've done nothing. And it's not every time, what--I was able to get back here alone Thursday. It was just yesterday (well, and again this morning, I suppose, after my run) that the spell simply would not allow me to enter.

We'll have to keep a close watch on whether it happens again, after this. I think it could simply be that he's not used to renting to two chaps.
