( Just like every other time she had gone exploring, she had brought a change of clothes, and just like all those other times, she had shrunk it to keep it from taking up precious space in her backpack… a decision she had been sorely regretting for the past week. )

[Private to Adrian]

Thank you, Adrian. I really appreciate it. We’ll be home as soon as we have our magic back.


[Private to Charlie]

Yes, I’m all right, nothing a good long shower can’t fix. I’m not alone, Sirius Black is here, we’re following the coast line and we have a Muggle weapon with us, taking as much care as we possibly can.

You truly are a gem, Charlie. Thank you so much. I’m sure Jamie will love to spend time at the Ark, though if need be he can stay at the Pedersen’s next door too, so coordinate with them. Just make sure he doesn’t have too much sugar, or you’ll have a hurricane on your hand. Keep an eye on your kitchen machinery, just because he’s no magic doesn’t mean he won’t try to disassemble them. And don’t let him lure you into answering questions you don’t want to answer. His dad was an Auror, I think some of his interrogative skills have rubbed off on him.

Please tell him I miss him.

Oh, and I have a jungle inside my house because my sofa would get wet if I moved it to the one outside. Besides, I think we established earlier that your sister’s a pretty smart witch, didn’t we?

I hope to see you both real soon. Take care!

[Private to Charlie]

Hello Charlie,

I’m sorry if this is crossing any boundaries we may have, but I need to cut this short: I’m on Australia, a week or so hike from the settlement, so I need to preserve what battery is left on my datapad.

I don’t know if you’re at the Ark or in the Settlement, but if you are in the Settlement, I need to ask you if you could go by my house as you are the only one in Zealandia who’s familiar with my house and who has access.

Before I left, I started a load of laundry, which (if I know my nephew as well as I know I do) is most likely still there. Can you do me the great favour of checking on that, perhaps run it again and move it to the drier? Also, if you could go through my cooler and refrigerator to clear out any perishables (take what you’d like and toss the rest) just so when I can get home again, I won’t be facing the risk of being greeted by a growling box of toxic waste. If you have the time, is it possible that you can water my plants, or maybe just move them outside on the deck, then I’ll have someone take them from there?

I know this is a lot to ask, but it would be a great help that I would appreciate immensely, Charlie.

I’ll check my messages tomorrow around the same time.


[Private to Adrian]
Adrian,

I’m on Australia, at least a week’s hike north of the Settlement, so I’m going to need to ask you a favour:

My garden. Can you take care of it until I get home, please? As luck would have it, everything was just on the verge of being ripe when I left, and who knows how long this will last? Take anything you might like (both vegetables and herbs), it would simply be a shame to let it all go to waste. The bushes at the end of the garden… the berries don’t have any exciting qualities, other than being rich in vitamins and they make an amazingly sweet syrup.

Also, I’ve asked a friend of mine to move my house plants outside, and hopefully he’ll be able to do it. If he has, could you give them some attention to?

Thank you, in advance.

I’ll check my messages again tomorrow around this time.
