He, um, well. Fortunately I have been well trained by Rudy (CONSTANT VIGILANCE!) and dodged the -- hex? curse? whatever he threw at me when I knocked.
The idiot thought I was MLE. I've got him in a chair now, restrained, and you would THINK that the fact that I am not (a) cruciating him, (b) forcing veritaserum down his throat, (c) summoning Bellatrix Lestrange to legilimise him, or (d) doing anything other than giving him good news about his sister might be persuasive to him that I AM NOT IN MLE but
argh. Why are people such idiots? WHY? Also he's definitely the one that cursed Diggory, he looks exactly like an older, male version of Sarah, the Twins were right.
Next time, tell me and I'll come along in case there's trouble. Or bring Dora with you. Dunno why you thought it'd be a good idea to approach him alone, seeing as how he's a potential threat.
Of course he tried to hex you! He's probably spent the last three days waiting for MLE to show up and throw him in a dungeon.
Is he calmed down, at least? Maybe we could have Frank bring Sarah and Matthew to see him.
You know, to be honest, I was thinking he wouldn't even be here! He wasn't here any of the other days I came to knock. I thought he'd probably just dropped out of sight, permanently.
And calm? Hm. It's hard to tell. I had to put a silencing spell on him to keep the whole neighborhood from coming down around our ears.
I tried showing him the note from Sarah but he thinks it's a trick. I guess he doesn't recognise her handwriting after all. Or he thinks we forged it. WHY HE THINKS MLE WOULD GO TO THIS MUCH TROUBLE TO FOOL HIM INSTEAD OF TORTURING HIM --
You know what, I think he must be in one of the other resistance groups. That's why he's so paranoid. He's acting like one of us might, maybe.
Sarah might not be a bad idea BUT I just had to rip most of his shirt off because I realised that probably the reason he was trying to bite his collar for the last ten minutes was he had poison in there and I couldn't think of any other way to keep him from using it than taking away the shirt.
So now he looks a little abused. I mean I didn't hit him! or anything like that! but you rip a fellow's shirt to shreds trying to take it off without loosening the spell on him and he'll look pretty pathetic afterward.
I suppose Rudy would say I should have foreseen trouble with Sam Fawcett. And he'd probably be right.
I've got his wand. There's really no rush to get you here. I was thinking that if WANTED AND NOTEWORTHY TRAITOR SIRIUS BLACK turned up that ought to be proof I'm not MLE and he can relax and trust me a bit?
The sensible thing to do is probably Obliviate him and Confund him and get out before he quite knows what happened.
It would help if I knew WHICH resistance group, wouldn't it?
YOU KNOW THIS WOULD REALLY BE A GREAT DEAL EASIER IF I WERE CAPABLE OF ANY OF THE THINGS HE'S ACCUSING ME OF PLANNING.
As it stands, he knows someone claiming to be from a resistance group is claiming to have rescued his sister (and a brother he didn't know he had). I'm not sure there's a downside to him knowing that Sirius Black is in this resistance group but if you can think of one, I'm all ears.

There's no note.
Wait. You went to Exeter this morning? Ellie said she thought you'd gone down the market to see if you could get any fresh fish.
Where's here?

Maybe he'd calm down if you actually did punch him or something? It's more what he's expecting.
Kidding, kidding.
On my way.

I left it in the kitchen, by the sugar bowl.

There's no note by the sugar bowl. (The sugar bowl's in the cupboard, how did you think I'd find it there, anyway?)

Oh.
Wait, there's a little bit of a corner of paper, right under the edge of the dish.
Hang on
no subject
On closer inspection, there's a whole bunch of bits of paper under the table.
My guess is it blew onto the floor and your daughter found it.
If he's in another resistance group do you think I should still show myself to him?
