I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Terry?

Fred and George say they spent today in a dodgy book shop in Knockturn Alley, fending off hags and looking through books on blood magic.

They say it isn't real clear what the Carrows were trying to do to you exactly. It almost seems like they were messing with more than one spell at the same time. Or maybe it just seems like a mess because they're barking mad.

But the twins wanted me to pass along a warning to you that maybe what they were trying to do was protect themselves by fixing things so if anything bad happens to him (or maybe to her, too?), then whatever it was would happen to you instead. Or to you, too?

I asked what they meant exactly, and they said it could be like if the git cuts himself shaving, then you'd maybe bleed instead.

So yeah. Fred and George said be careful.

Sorry, mate. This is all pretty dire.

Rotten, really.

All right. I'll tell them. And we're definitely sending Pig. You can count on that.
