Rafe,

Hope you're all right.

Zelda went in to St. Mungo's last night.  She hasn't been feeling well for a couple of weeks.  Bad headaches, acting strangely, really short-tempered.  The healers aren't sure what's wrong, but they kept her overnight for observation.

The kids are okay.  My sister stayed with them last night, and I'll keep checking in on them until Zelda's back out. 

Let me know if there's anything else that I can do.  If I get more information, I'll pass it on.  Zelda's on the Fourth Floor, if you want to write to her.

A letter arrives late from Azkaban Prison. Upon opening, it's clear that the letter has already read by more than its writer - there is a stamp marking it SPELL-CHECKED and CLEARED FOR DELIVERY. The handwriting looks like a draftsman's, neat and blocky.

Kurby,

I'm fine. Thank you for writing and thank you for your help. Zelda's not often ill, so if she went into Mungo's it's not good. What did the Healers find out?

I don't know what else to write other than more questions. Updates would be appreciated as you get them.

Only other thing I could ask would be to pass along my messages. The post is slow here, so this would be easier.

For Frank - Most important thing right now, even if you're scared, is to keep moving. Don't be afraid to confide in your friends or write to Figaro or Kurby. We should stick together.

For Figaro - I know this really isn't your thing, but you need to help Kurby and be quick writing back to Frank. Please check on the Apothecary if there's no one else that can be there. We need you right now, kid.

For Zelda - You probably waited too long to go in. Please let Figaro and Kurby help. It's okay to rest. Write me when you're back on your feet. Thinking of you.


Thanks again, Kurby. Take care of yourself.

- Rafe
