going to Diagon Alley today

[alt_sally_anne]

Probably everyone else has their books already so I won't see anyone -- well, until Wednesday, anyway. We're buying books and the other things on the list. It's just going to be me and Jeremy, Mrs Stretton has a meeting at Gringott's, I think she wants to find out what the goblins think of the idea of authorising people through the journals to move money around the vaults.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I've mostly been shut up with journals and an order book, but yesterday Mrs Stretton sent me on an errand to the estate where they make whiskey, and I heard some of the muggles talking.

They think that Sirius Black is alive.

More than that, they think that someone HERE saw him alive. In the Protectorate, I mean. And that they knew for certain it was him, not a wizard using polyjuice potion ('that wizard trick that lets them look like someone else' is what they called polyjuice) because of things he'd said.

The thing that was most interesting was this wasn't news. It was two men talking, but one wasn't trying to persuade the other, it was a fact they both knew that they were discussing again. They were wondering if there'd been any sightings near Coventry, and how he got into the Protectorate, and whether he died and was brought back to life somehow and that's how he got through the wards.

Then they started going on about King Arthur.

Well, but does she really know anything? I mean. How do we know what she knows? Maybe it's just rumours.

I dunno.

Yeah.

It'd be pretty rotten of her to lead us on like that, now, wouldn't it?

She is just a

You've got a point.

We'll want to see any notes you end up taking in that Dark Arts class, if you don't mind letting us do a duplication spell, Perks.

It might help us come up with counter jinxes and such if either of the Carrows try something ugly this year.

You'd be welcome.
