Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

Narcissa.

Not going to make it to Katyenka this afternoon.

Has Bella been to see you? Suppose that's unlikely. Look. We got called last night to Nymphadora Ponds' shop. Turns out to have been a centre and cover for resistance activity. And it turns out they've been hiding Sirius Black there--as the family dog.

Have been in interrogation ever since, and only have a moment now, but didn't want you to go to the trouble of coming into town only to be stood up.

The three of them--your cousin, your niece, and the mousy husband (who was not, it turns out, actually 'Junius Ponds')--all three of them got away from us and are on the run. Most likely, they're all holed up in the Black house on Grimmauld Place, but obviously if you hear from Nymphadora with some story about needing shelter, do welcome her in. And call us.

You know she's expecting again? (You can guess how merry Bella is to think that even the pregnant woman got away from her...)
