I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne and Pansy

[alt_ron]

You there? Either of you?

I need to-

Can I come-

I can't be here right now.

Comments

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm at the Strettons -- you can come, they won't care.

Do you want me to meet you at the floo?

[alt_ron]

Um.

No.

I'd have to go inside again.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
uh-

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, it's too far to fly.

Can you find a floo to use?

[alt_ron]

Um.

Argh.

I'm just so-

[alt_sally_anne]

Where are you? Should I see if I can find Jeremy, and have him side-along you? I think he's with

[alt_ron]

I'm down by the river.

I'm-

We had a big thing here.

I was talking to Mum about, y'know. Like we talked about. But

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh

It didn't go well, then?

I'm looking for Jeremy but I can't find him. I'll keep looking.

[alt_ron]

No. It was awful.

She called for Bill. Well, actually, she sent a Patronus, and he came in like he thought she was being murdered by Dementors.

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh ugh ugh ugh

Bill's one of them too, isn't he? He's always seemed

What happened? Did he do anything

[alt_sally_anne]

Here, you know what, I could come to you through the floo, right? And come find you by the river. Would that help?

[alt_ron]

No. They're all in there. Rowing.

Charlie and Bill and Mum. And the twins.

Or, well, they're looking for me.

[alt_ron]

Hang on.

They're coming, anyway. I can hear them. I'll get them to bring me.

It's all right if we all come?

Sorry. Guess the Strettons won't like that much.

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh, Mr and Mrs Stretton are out, anyway. Some party (like a pre-12th-Night thing for the not-at-all-important-but-they-WISH-they-were).

So come, all of you. No one will care.

[alt_ron]

Do you think I'll get splinched if they side-along me?

[alt_sally_anne]

I would have JUST ONE OF THEM side-along you, I think it's riskier if they take you together, but I've heard it's actually not any harder to side-along an extra person than to apparate yourself so if they can do it without leaving half of themselves behind it should be fine.

[alt_sally_anne]

This sort of thing will be quite a bit easier when we're old enough to apparate.

[alt_ron]

No joke.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'll meet you lot by the broom shed out back.

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

We'll be there.


Sorry.

[alt_sally_anne]

Don't apologise. Do you want me to hex the Twins for you when you get here? I could hex their mouths shut if you're worried they won't let you talk.

[alt_pansy]

Are you still there? At the Strettons? Because I'm coming over.

You could stay the night with me if you need.

I could let your mum know so she wouldn't worry.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. We're here.

You should come.

The twins are talking. Sally Anne's asking brilliant questions. You'll probably think of other things we should make them tell us.

[alt_pansy]

Coming.

And I meant it, if you need a night away.
