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've received a rather odd owl. I think it was intended for me anyway. She was hopping around outside the fidelius zone. We checked for spells, took the note and sent her on her way. It was addressed to "C". It was full of quidditch news and a bunch of in jokes from the Hufflepuff quidditch team. I'm trying to decipher the quidditch parts because it seems off. Other parts are out and out wrong, rubbish like Lannic and "Razz" making plays together, but they never played for the Falcons at the same time. The note's signed Vulcan ß. Not a nickname I'm familiar with, but that plus the Hufflepuff and quidditch stuff makes me think it's from Heph and that he's in some sort of trouble and asking for help. I'd like to come up to the castle so I can show you, then talk with Linus and look at some of his notes to see if I can figure out what he's saying.
