Poppy, could you come to 12GP if you see this?

Molly, everything's fine, don't panic.

Corax Mulciber apparently has unique ideas about employee motivation; he demanded Bill cruciate a fellow employee this afternoon, then cruciated them both when he 'tried' and it didn't work. The full story's a bit confusing. Bill apparated to Doughty and splinched himself, though not badly. Startled poor Ellie, mostly with all the blood -- we patched him up, and Tonks side-alonged him to 12GP to recover.

We had some of the post-cruciatus potion about, so Tonks gave it to him. This isn't something we've dealt with much, so if Poppy's not around and anyone else wants to chime in with suggestions, I'll try to implement them. He says he's okay, but he's shaking really hard. Also, he spewed a little while ago. On Tonks Really the main reason we want Poppy is to check the splinch. It wasn't much of himself he left behind, at least.

how can you s

if Arthur

Understood, Remus. Thank you so much for being with him, and helping him. Should I floo there to be with him? I can invent a reason for Ginny for being called away at dinnertime.

[alt_lupin]

Bill says there's no need, he'll be fine.

And he will, Molly; we'll take good care of him, don't worry.

[alt_molly]

It's a good thing he knew not to try the floo; that would have made the spewing worse. Floo travel is as bad for him as apparition is for Sirius.

Remus, where was he splinched? (What body part, I mean?) I assume you had some dittany at hand?

[alt_lupin]

Thigh, and yes. We always keep dittany on hand, both at Doughty Conduit and at 12GP.

[alt_gredforge]

Good on you all for being there for him.

Tell him that when he feels up to it, we'll take him out to the Quidditch pitch at our orchard, and he can borrow our Beater bats and pretend that the Bludger is Corax Mulciber's head. If that helps.

Private Message to Mr Lupin

Tell Bill I hope he's all right, will you?

When he feels well enough to know I said it.

How bad was it? The cruciating, I mean. Was it... did it go on very long?

Re: Private Message to Mr Lupin

[alt_lupin]

I'll tell him.

He didn't say how long it lasted. The important thing is that he's here now, safe, and we are taking care of him.

[alt_lupin]

Oh, it was one of Arthur's former colleagues Bill was ordered to cruciate -- Cresus Deverill? I remember Arthur told us something bad about the man but I can't remember what.

Apparently he attracted Corax Mulciber's ire for filching some quills out of Selwyn's office, when MLE was done in there. Although my guess is he wanted to make an example of someone and didn't much care who or why.

[alt_molly]

Oh, Cresus Deverill...I won't forget THAT name. He's vile.

He's the one who forced Norma Brownmiller to decide who should live and who should die, when the Woods' farm was raided and they were discovered to be 'coddling' muggleborns. Arthur was so upset about that.

[alt_molly]

But...for pilfering office supplies?

Good gracious.

[alt_sally_anne]

HIM?

Well HE deserved it even if Bill

Ugh.

[alt_nymphadora]

Molly, he's doing better now. Mostly sleeping, but he took a bit of water a few minutes ago when he woke up, and he looked- well, he's got a bit of colour back.

And Madam P flooed us. She's coming soon, but she made us feel we'd done the basic cleaning and bandaging properly.

How are you holding up, then?

[alt_molly]

How am I holding

Doubtless, I'm better than Bill.

Tonks, Remus--

Thank you
