Possibly, Allie, but it sounds like this organisation moves people mainly on foot. Some side-along apparation but they're assuming that most of the traffic has to be without it. So short distances, frequent stops. I don't know if we'd want to reveal that we can get wands to their refugees, not just yet. See how things go a time or two. But as I said, I'd bet Galleons they're connected in some way to the group Paul and Lucinda are working with in the north.

sounds promising.

we'll work on converting the safe house, and you keep us posted.

Love, I have a question for you.

Merlin.

I'm turning red just thinking about it, but I've got to ask while I've got my nerve up.

Danny Houster, you remember Danny? The little Muggle boy Frank and I found while we were setting up Moddey Dhoo? He was about ten back then, near as we can figure. Regardless, he's not so little any more.

Well. I think he might be in his very first relationship with one of the young people we brought back from the Cup.

Richard.

And I know what sort of talk I'd give if he started seeing Jacinda or Tricia, about how to be safe and responsible, but I have no earthly idea if there's other sorts of things I'd need to talk about now, or whether he'd need a talk at all, but this is very new for him and he's very special to me and he's grown up but in many ways he's got a lot to learn and I don't want to

I was wondering if you could send him an owl?

You might've met him briefly at the holiday parties.

And he was on The Hopeful during one of the runs you were on, I think. He's awfully quiet though, so I'm not sure he made much of an impression and bother. I'm sorry.

I'm just sort of at loose ends.

And I want to do right by him but I've no idea how.

No, it's all right. I know which one he is.

I just ....

Didn't you know? Already?

And

Bloody Erebus, Allie. Me? Why me, of all people? What could I tell him he hasn't already figured out for himself, then?

Sorry.

I don't mind your asking, truly.

I just

I mean to say

I'm not exactly a role-model.

He's always been on the quiet side.

I was telling Frank, I thought he was just shy around girls is all.

I thought

Well, I thought that I didn't know what he'd need, and you might know something more.

That's all.

And he's a Muggle so he can't do any spells or things, but Richard's learning fairly well so he could do enough for the two of them but I don't know if they even need anything like that at all in the same way, and you don't have to pass anything along I just thought if there was anything to pass

Bother.

I'm sorry.

Allie, it's all right. I just thought you'd surely know. It was always a bit obvious to me but it was his business, you know, none of mine.

It's just. He's, what, 21 now? Merlin, I was - well, I'd already been making up for lost time in muggle clubs for nearly four years at that point. And Muggle clubs in the 1970s, well. Protection wasn't really on anyone's mind.

This Richard bloke. D'you reckon he was a virgin before Danny, as well? Or might he already know his way 'round the farm, if you take my meaning.

I know you raised him but he's a man grown, Allie. Bloody awkward way to strike up a conversation: 'Hey, your adoptive mum thinks you need lessons in shirt-lifting.'

Look. You tell him you've asked me and if he or Richard have any questions, they can write to me, all right? No taking the piss, no larking about it, I promise I'll give them real answers. Okay? But I'm not just going to write out of the blue because that'll just traumatise the little poufter blighter.

I'm not sure about Richard. He's the quiet sort too, which is why he hit it off so well with Danny right from the start.

I'll tell him what you said.

Thank you.
