Order Only: Private message to Dora and Sirius

[alt_lupin]

I'm thinking that for the Full Moon it'll be easiest to tell Ellie I'm going off on some sort of stock-buying trip and will be back in a day or two. And then go to 12GP for the duration.

I've grown rather accustomed to having Sirius around when I transform. Ellie, however, has grown rather accustomed to having the dog around pretty much all the time. I'm a bit worried that taking him away from her will go over about as well as taking that singing rabbit toy away from Bea would. Dora, will managing Ellie and the beer garden and all the rest without Sirius be too much? Sirius, just how dependent on you is she?

Why? She'll be fine at 12GP. We'll have Kreacher, and Sirius can go to her without having to worry about anyone seeing him.

Are you worried we'll hurt Ellie's feelings? She's said herself (to Arthur) we don't trust her yet with the baby.

No. I just-

don't want Bea to be a bother to Sirius when he's wanting to see to you.

I wasn't thinking of Ellie's feelings at all, except how her skittishness makes it difficult to think about leaving her in charge in the night.

Bea shouldn't be any trouble. Not like when she was waking three times a night, anyway. It's only in case something should happen, which it shan't. And anyway, I think Kreacher'd be able to intervene if there's any immediate need. I'd only be a minute or two behind him, at the outside.

Well, that settles it, then.

Now we'll just have to think what 'orders' Mr Ponds will have placed and what goods should arrive in a fortnight or two as a result.

What's Aleks sending this time? Do you know?
