Molly had it right in one, Hermione. Friday and Saturday evenings are particularly difficult with the beer garden doing its trade. But that's all right; you've probably less leisure to write than I.
Now, about these people and these questions. Well. I'm happy to answer them if we're able to do without compromising our security. But what I'm not sure of is whether your telling them the answer would constitute a violation of your Unbreakable Vow.
I suppose another problem I can foresee is what to do if the person asking the question doesn't much like the answer. Because I'm not going to ask who's asking but - well, I can think of at least a dozen questions people could ask - people in the position to be asking me through you, that is - that might have very harsh answers for them. I shouldn't want the facts to reflect poorly on you or to get you into trouble with anyone. That's really more a problem for me, in crafting my answers, I suppose, than for you in simply saying what I've said.
So, if we can determine to our satisfaction that your acting as a messenger will not bring about your untimely and incredibly unwelcome death, I think I can manage to reply tactfully enough for Pan that the answers shouldn't offend anyone.
