ORDER ONLY: HOW COULD YOU?

[alt_hermione]

I thought you all were going to take care of me. I trusted you. I believed you knew what was best.

I just -

It turns out Mr Lupin was all right after all, and you all just were going to sit around, I've already told the Headmistress this and I want you all to know too: I don't know -

I just -

What will happen to them? I suppose they'll have to go to the colony, won't they? But will the colony have them since they aren't wizards? If the colony won't have them you all had better have them, you had just better take care of them, or I swear I will run away from Hogwarts and help them myself, and I'll steal Draco's wand again and I'll have a wand then, and you all will just be able to go hang!!!!

I didn't realise they were hostages for my good behaviour, I ought to have known, how on earth could I have been so utterly stupid?!

Frank and Stephen took off immediately for Deedpenny. He said he'd leave word.

Alice . . . I'm almost afraid to ask this. Do you know how to get in touch with Remus? Do we dare send him a patronus? Do you know if he can send one back?

If he was ordered to bite the Grangers, he might know something else about what the Ministry planned to do with them. I realise I'm grasping at straws, here, but at the very least, he might know something about which enclave they might have taken them.

And if he left to protect our Hermione's parents, then I'm more grateful than I can say. I didn't expect it of him. Maybe he needs our help. I don't know what Minerva will think (Merlin, I wish she'd report again). But maybe it's time for us to take a chance on him.

I'll send him word, ask if he knows where the Grangers are.

He can send his reply to Frank -- it wouldn't be traced back to Moddey Dhoo, as Frank is away. I'll also see if he can pull any favours at all, see if he can get word to the other enclaves. Maybe he has some pull there, and can help keep the Grangers safe.

I'll keep my eyes open. hope to merlin he's got something we can use, and can get it to us in time.
