Order Only: Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

They're not really letting me near him, either. But he wants someone to check on Honoria Sandoval. Do you know where she's been sleeping? I think she might have visited your sister earlier today, but I can't imagine she's there now.

Is he going to be alright?

What's he been hit with, can you tell?

[alt_sally_anne]

They don't know yet exactly what it was, but they seem very sure they can fix it. It's not Bellatrix's curse, I can tell you that for sure. Anyway yes, he's going to be fine. Probably by morning.

Can you check on Honoria? He seemed really worried about her. If you check on her and she's fine, I can go reassure him and that way I can check on him and let you know how he's doing, right?

[alt_ron]

Uh. Yeah, alright.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

[alt_ron]

Well, I can't tell you much, unfortunately. I tried her quarters, but she didn't answer the door. I've tried the Great Hall and the library and a couple other places.

I guess I'll go back up to her rooms and try the occupancy charm if she doesn't answer. At least, we'd know if she's in there and just asleep or meditating or whatever and not hearing a knock. I don't want to make a ruckus if that's all it is, y'know.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, I know, it's kind of late. She usually stays up kind of late, though. Do you want to ask your sister if she said she was going anywhere?

[alt_sally_anne]

I mean the thing about the occupancy charm is that there are all sorts of things that can throw it off, from cats to ghosts.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, it's a bit crap.

And it didn't tell me anything. So either she's not there or it just didn't work.

I don't know about asking Ginny... But Justin's properly worried about it, I reckon. He just wrote me to ask if I've found her.

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe find someone to open her door? She'll be a little cross if she was sleeping and you disturb her but by tomorrow she'll think it was funny.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. I just realised I could send an elf. Mind you, that's a bloody jolting way to wake up, with an elf popping in beside you, so I hope she forgives me.

[alt_ron]

Shit.

Okay, this is bad. Don't tell Justin anything yet. I'm going to call Rachel.

[alt_sally_anne]

What? What happened?

[alt_ron]

I guess you should come or someone. A Healer, I mean.

She's dead, though.

[alt_sally_anne]

She

WHERE?

[alt_ron]

Sorry. In her rooms.

Rachel's here, but we think a Healer needs to come have a look.

[alt_sally_anne]

I sent you Healer Withinghall. He's ... well, he's sort of an expert at this sort of thing. He's the one who examined Alfred Montague's bits, to find out if Alfred was alive or dead. When they were cut off. So.

[alt_ron]

Oh.

Alright. Guess he knows his way?

Say. I'm trying to decide whether to suggest to Rachel that we ask Ginny how Honoria seemed this afternoon. Only, I imagine it won't do her any good to find out about Honoria this way.

She could be asleep already-

[alt_sally_anne]

Justin wants to know about Honoria. Can I tell him?

[alt_ron]

I guess. Unless you want to wait and see what Healer Whatsummy has to say.

[alt_sally_anne]

And I think you have to tell Rachel you think Honoria visited Ginny this afternoon.

[alt_ron]

Eh. You're right.
