After discussing the note with Linus to check historical quidditch data, I think I know what he's trying to say. Siz also provided some of his old essays to compare handwriting to help confirm that it's authentic. I can't make head or stick of the jokes as anything other than confirmation that it's him and intended for me.

I'm positive he's in trouble and can't leave New London (the trouble's obvious, lots of cages and odd mentions of London). The errors in the old quidditch news all seem to fit together. We're fairly confident that he'll be at the Pickled Hawk Pub (talk of the Falcons playing while 'sauced'), which is a block over from the Lethifolds stadium (the non-existant games they played were all against the Lethifolds) on August the 17th at half eight (mistaken dates and the score was 800-30). He's tangled up with Lana (the mentions of Lannic 'playing' with Raz appear to be talking about her, right sort of name, playing with one of the Lestrange brothers. Implied that the 'playing' was sexual and wrong), tangled up with Lana can only really mean he's bee caught up in their new security force.

I'd like to help him, both personally and because turning part of the Bobolis clan would help sway another prominent 'neutral' family. However, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go to New London, but I don't know who he'd trust that we trust enough to meet and negotiate with him.

Where do we fly from here?

I'm sorting through piles of communiques. The number from muggles is going up. Whatever was done to make them ignore us seems to not be working as well anymore. I understand about half of what they say. I need a muggle, preferably one with government experience and official status in our transitional government, to help make sense of what they are saying and talk to them.

I fear that if MLE can connect the dots and they choose to act, that Draco's post may put my family in fresh danger. Since at present, we know they are not being actively watched, I'd like to leave Dover early this afternoon to talk to my mother about casting fidelius on the property. Before my father comes home from the Ministry. I think if he's presented with the fidelius as fait accompli he'll go along, but if asked would turn it down because of his obsessive need to see the best in everything and out of a need to show loyal. I'd like someone to come along who is more practiced with oblivation and casting fidelius. I could do either if I had to but would rather someone with a defter hand and more practice do both, given that it's my mother.

I'm including you Molly, because I'd like to apparate to your house and walk over from there after recovering. If you are available and could go in first to separate her from the littles and Jenni to minimize the number of people who might need to be oblivated, I would appreciate it.

Can you carve out some time in your week to come up to Moddey and lead flying drills a couple times a week?

Alice has asked me to redeploy to Dover to relieve her of the day to day joys of communicating with our counterparts in Calais.
