House of the Rising Moon

Right. The full moon is this Sunday and thus I want my house completely devoid of anything even remotely human as soon as possible. Charlie, I've already sent Ginny home with some ways she can try to locate Cho on her own, so if you and Seamus would like to take your extra-curricular activites elsewhere, that would make me extremely happy as I would rather not find myself gnawing upon either of you come moonrise. I would also be utterly ecstatic if you both might pause your shenanigans long enough to restore the recreation room, the west study, the lower drawing room, and (for reasons that I have no desire to know) the upstairs W.C., to their original state, before you left.

I'll be sending the house-elves away as well, to stay at Hogwarts until Monday morning. I shall never forgive myself for the one I accidentally ate, back in '74. They're really quite... gamey. Don't fear, Narcissa, I will make sure that Dacey is quite safe.

No word from Sirius. I've no idea where he is, Dumbledore completely unhelpful, which should surprise absolutely no one. I'm not impressed, Albus. Not impressed.

Harry love, I hope you're well, and don't get too down about things. You never know, life is full of surprises. Even good ones.

I'm off, to see if I cannot locate my wayward houseguests. Thank God I'm in the habit of knocking.
