Order Only: Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

Have you heard anything back from Charlie?

I know it's a good idea to take people out, when they're captured or maybe captured. I still hate it. Even though it was a good idea with Ginny.

No. Not yet.

Don't know what to expect, really, only Rachel wanted him to know he's been removed from the Order to keep the lock safe if he ends up in DEMLE custody.

She said Alice and Remus did it Saturday night, as soon as we knew he was missing. Didn't tell the family until today. I mean, I know why, I guess. But it feels rubbish. I mean, there I was writing him and no one said. Whatever.

I'm not really cross. Especially with Rachel, because

I mean, her aunt, y'know?

It all reeks.

[alt_sally_anne]

I know it makes sense but I don't know why she didn't just tell you. Because your mum would go wobbly? I mean she knew it was a good idea with Ginny but we KNEW Ginny had been captured.

Does Charlie carry

It really does sound like he's being hidden by someone who's taking care of him, doesn't it? I mean

I hope he's okay.

That's what Madam P thinks, anywiz.

She told Rachel she thinks someone's got Charlie in a safe spot. Probably there at the hospital. She thinks it's not on one of the regular wards because he's so obviously a Weasley. Heh. Or, well, she did admit they could've spelled his hair blond or brown, but she thinks her friends would've been able to find him by now if he was on one of the wards. And they haven't.

She told us, though, that St M's is a bit like Hogwarts and has rooms and places that one person will tell stories about but no one else has ever seen. Says she's been around long enough, she's known loads of people who have a story about a time they stepped into a room or ante-chamber or corridor, or passed by one, or saw someone come out of one, but then there's never been a room or corridor there ever again that they can find.

Has she talked to you about it? I guess she hasn't been around much, though, huh? Sounded like she's mostly been checking the regional health sites. And chasing information for Rachel.

I've barely seen Madam P in weeks. It's been mostly other Healers overseeing things here at Hogwarts. But yeah, she's told me about that with St M's, and so did Healer Korotkova.

And that makes sense, that St M's would have a room like that for Charlie. Because kind of the way Hogwarts wants to protect its students, St Mungo's wants to protect its patients, and after what happened with Ginny

Yeah.

[alt_sally_anne]

And yeah.

Rachel's aunt. That's utterly awful.

Crouch has always been utterly awful. Now he's utterly awful and a complete lunatic, it sounds like.

I hear that combination is popular this season.
