Order Only: private message to Alice

'What does winning look like?' is a good question. Not that I have an answer yet. Though I keep coming back to 'The person you should ask that is Maureen.'

Anyhow, yeah. Meeting again today would be good. The quaffle's yours for picking a time tonight. I'll check in as soon as I'm at work, which is going to be late because the bloke who's been hired to fly the bounds in the mornings has taken sick. Again. So I have to do it. Again.

Right. Now Mother's reeling off a list of other things I could get to before I leave, after I fly the bounds. As if. But I had better get on-broom. Literally.

Tne lemon ard tea did nelp. Tharks for tnat.

Sorry. Hands are shaking still again.

The lemon and tea did help. Thanks for that.

Merlin, Weasley, you've got some power behind your wand! I was planning on taunting you to help you focus - tell you Lana Sandoval could do it harder than that, or something. Turned out not to be needful, did it?

Sorry. Still a little scattered. Funny, it's good to feel I've finally done something for the Order besides wash dishes and fetch and carry and wait. Though I didn't expect to do this. Or I did, right, but I expected to get it from Mulciber himself. Anyhow, if nothing else it should convince him that you do what he tells you and that you can be a right cruel bastard when ordered to be. So well done there to both of us, I guess.

I will make a formal report to Alice as you recommended. Just need to get a bit more tea into me first, stop these shakes.

Thanks, old man.
