I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Pig's back. And he's still got the note I sent. She didn't add anything, so she didn't get it and send it back. From the looks of him, he kept at it all night, looking for her.

Um. This isn't good.

I think we should go there and get her, don't you?

We could Floo to Coventry. There's probably one at the Owl Office, right? And then, I don't know. We could bang on the door and tell them we're from the Department of Fostering or something that'll make them think they'd better open up or they'll be in loads worse trouble.

What we want to do and what we ought to do are two different things.

I know she's not sick.

I'm pretty sure she's not arrested.

I'm worried about her, especially because of the floo being shut down like it is, that's just not on. But it could be that she's just being punished.

And if we try and sneak onto the estate and ask after her, or track her down, which is what I want to do, she'd definitely get in trouble if she got caught, and we'd probably get in trouble too, and even though there's not a quarantine there still might be some Ministry people about. I hate to admit that he's right, but he is.

I wish I knew more. I really do.

And it hurts my heart to not do anything, not knowing if she's okay.

I hate them.

I hate that she's got to be fostered and can't be with someone who loves her like her mum and dad. Or me. Or you. It's not a home. They're not her family.

We are.

Yeah. Too right.

I wish my dad would try to get her fostering changed to us, but-

My parents tried to get Luna assigned to them when her father died, and the Ministry put her with the Browns instead.

I'm pretty sure that even though my dad works in Protectorate Affairs and has a really important job that anyone would say is totally showing loyal--I'm pretty sure that some of them at the Ministry think my family are, well, not as loyal as they should be.

I'm sure Luna knows that your mum cares for her, even though she can't be there during holidays.

And after she's left Hogwarts, she can visit the Burrow whenever she wants for dinner and Christmas and things like that.

After Sally-Anne and me leave school, we're going to live in our house in London together. And you can come over whenever you want, and it will be brilliant. And she is never going back to the Strettons. Ever.
