alt_hydraStill no sign of Corbyn? I'm sure you're going stir-crazy by now.
Rachel sent me, Ron, Peel and Farthing to some villages not far from Glasgow. There's been some nasty firefights and disputes in the area and it's affected the dairy industry there and other things. Apparently the locals suspected that some newcomers were actually working for the old MLE as spies. I checked them all out and they were just ordinary people, but they were English, not Scottish, and that's what had the locals worried.
Funny that there's still some bad blood around here that has nothing to do with actual blood purity. We ended up calling Mr Macnair in to speak Scottish at them and that seemed to help smooth things over. Afterward he told us that Voldemort did a lot of damage in that area around the time of the first war, and ended up killing off several of the old Scot wizarding clans who tried to stand up to him. So now they're all quite mistrustful and didn't even seem to truly believe that the wizard they knew as the Lord Protector is dead. But I think Mr Macnair saying it was true made them believe it.
Anyway, I don't want to distract you if you're concentrating. I hope you're able to return to the castle soon, though.

Yes, Ron was there and so were his brothers. They all had something to drink, but I didn't notice whether Ron or any of them were drinking heavily. But I suppose it wouldn't be terribly surprising given what they've been through lately.
Oh, I've found Jack asleep on a window seat. He'll be alright, I think.
Shall I bring you anything?

If you would, please, that lighter set of trousers, the linen ones, I mean, and a few more short-sleeved shirts? The cooling charms can only do so much.

See you in a bit.
