Is everything alright? Are you back to the Jugson's yet?

I ask because I think I'm going to need to give you Jack.

I've been keeping him in my room, but Rigel's either found a way in, or he's heard Jack's mewing, because now he keeps asking to see the kitty. Even if I do keep my room locked and warded I'm worried Rigel will make Mrs Baylock get Jack for him to play with. And you remember what happened with Tevis, don't you? Rigel decided he liked him and after that, Tevis never stopped following him around. He still does, even now.

Hullo,

Yes, I got back around four in the morning, what, and cleaned up and slept. It's still rather dire there but at least we've accounted for everyone and they've done what we can to help them. Mr Snape's supplies arrived just about 1:00 so even had one been near to leaving, there was suddenly much more that could be done. I suppose it's a fitting use of one's time at Eastertide.

And of course, everyone was jolly well ecstatic about Mr Longbottom's magic showing itself again. It's quite a hopeful sign. I think Mr Longbottom was more grateful about it than he wished to let on, in fact. Understandable, what.

Sorry, you bally well didn't need me chuntering on. Jack. Yes, I suppose I could look after him. He's used to being with me at school, at any rate. Will your mother let you come here? Or shall I have to send Remy to collect him?

I felt quite useless, being unable to do anything from here. But I'm happy for Mr Longbottom.

We're all going round to Nanella's in a while for supper. Draco will be there, and I'll tell him he needs to take Jack to you later tonight. He'll have to do it, he owes me.

[alt_justin]

It was...good, to be occupied with helping others.

Why does Draco owe y--Oh, I see.

Yes, all right. I'm going to Grimmauld after dinner at the Jugsons, but if I've gone when Draco arrives he can give Jack to Maggie or Remy.

How are

Maybe having him will mean I don't have to bally well exhaust myself just to get a little sleep.

I'm not sure it's been "good" to be occupied helping Mummy at MLE, but it's been interesting, in a way. She's been sharing her opinion on everyone with me, as if we're co-conspirators of a kind. With her in charge, of course.

If you're wondering what those opinions are, it's usually one of two: "useless idiot" or "has some use, but is still an idiot."

Anyway, yes. That had occured to me, as well. I know you like Jack to sleep with you, and now he can.

[alt_justin]

I say, I'm sorry you feel you have to send him away, though. Are you certain Rigel will annex him?

-Justin

[alt_hydra]

I'm not certain, but I'm not willing to risk it, either. I can be with Jack at school.

[alt_justin]

Yes, of course.

If Professor Dolohov keeps on as he's done, what, I shan't have any trouble there, after all.

I went to see him, last week. I think making him believe he's worn me down, or rather that I've come round to his patronage, is working.

I--

No. Sorry. Better stop now.

-Justin

[alt_hydra]

Yes, I know.

'Bye, Justin. Jack will see you soon.
