Private message to Ronald Weasley

[alt_molly]

Ron? Where are you? When do you expect to be home?

[alt_molly]

Wait a minute. I just found the note you left.

[alt_molly]

Except this was yesterday's note. I didn't see it until now.

When will you be home tonight?

[alt_ron]

Oh. Hullo, Mum.

I'm alright. Same as last night.

You didn't see the note I left this morning? Might have slipped inside your purse, I guess. I mean, don't turn everything out looking for it. It says the same as yesterday's, anywiz.

[alt_molly]

I notice that neither of them say when to expect you home.

If you're at Sally-Anne's could you ask her whether she will be coming over for dinner tomorrow night? Why don't you ask that, dear? Although I suppose Leo might not like that, as it's the last night she'll be home.

[alt_ron]

Oh. I can't tell her be

Mum, I don't think he'd like that at all. I mean, it's not just that he wouldn't want Sally Anne to be gone on the last night before school, but-

I think it might make him really cross, and he'd think we were meddling, y'know?

But, yeah, he wouldn't want her to be gone, either... because he doesn't want to let her go anywhere at all ever.

It's not-

He's-

I dunno, Mum. It's really awful how he gets.

[alt_molly]

Oh, dear.

I think I understand. I mean, I know what Leo can be like, from having to deal with him in the barter network. Unfortunately. He made his wife perfectly miserable, and I can imagine he would do the same with his daughter.

The poor girl. Will she be all right tonight?

You don't think he might hurt her, do you?

[alt_ron]

I don't know. That's why I'm staying out out here. Just in case.

[alt_molly]

Oh, my goodness.

You're outside? The two of you, or just you?

If you need help, Ron, do send word.

At any rate, if there's no trouble (and I hope there isn't), I will expect you home tonight, certainly sooner than you arrived last night.
