I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

alt_sally_anneMadam Pomfrey warned me this morning that the Headmistress has started screening owls, and reading our post. Definitely incoming, maybe also outgoing.
I keep thinking about Pig, and how clever he is about not getting caught, but I'm not sure we'd want to count on it. Maybe if we have anything really secret to say we should pass it through people who have other ways in and out. And I don't just mean Hermione -- the professors can all go to Hosgmeade any time they care to, so if you want to send a letter that Umbridge won't read, you could give it to a professor you trust and ask them to post it from the village (I had Professor Sinistra take a letter for Jeremy, he needs to know not to say anything stupid in my mail. But I think Professor Raz and Professor Dolohov would help, too, or Professor Sprout. Madam Pomfrey's too busy, she almost never gets out of the castle during term. I wouldn't use her, not for letters you want posted, anyway.)

I was planning on writing Sirius about the Fidelius charm, and whether we could try it on my attic over Easter hols. Among other things. If Madame P is too busy... I don't want anyone else sending it. Except maybe Professor Sprout? Only I don't know her at all so it'd look odd, maybe. Do you think she'd post a letter to Sirius if I gave it to her?
