Private Message to Harry

Finch-Fletchley found your list of the supplies you're requesting (wow, there's loads! What are they planning to have us do?) and Professor Dolohov just has us doing easy drills for the afternoon, so don't worry. Everything's under control.

What happened, anyway? All F-F said was there'd been a flying accident.

That's not really like you, or Draco. I mean, you two usually look like you were born on broomback. Was Weasley trying to take you out before the next challenge? I bet that was it, you know he's really competitive when he gets going on something.

Oh, Blaise is feeling better and I think he might even get the hang of Apparation by the end of the day. (I managed it again; I think I'll be able to do it when we need.)

But don't feel like you have to hurry back. I mean, we're doing just fine without you.

They didn't say what it'd be. Just that we'd need to bring everything with us that we'd need, and that it'd be for a few days. You can add what you think I've missed to the list and give it to Professor Dolohov so he can get everything.

I was thinking if we packed it right and kept everything light, we'd be able to take some extra stuff that might be useful. If it gets too heavy, you can cut back.

And no. Ron didn't sabotage us. He broke his collarbone in the fall. And got pretty badly bruised up. Draco hurt his head too. We were all ley flying, and something went wrong with it. We were going pretty fast, and really getting into the feel of the ley, all three of us, and it just knocked us off, like it was twisted up or something. None of us knew it was coming.

I don't know when they'll let me back. They want us to take it easy today. Ron and me are sort of dizzy, and we can't really sit up all the way without feeling sick, and Draco's still sort of out of it. Maybe they'll let me join back in on the last day.

And. I know you and Blaise make for a good team when you work together. And you know him better than anyone else who's left. And he's really talented, and knows his stuff, but he doesn't get on with everyone. Which is fine, that's just sort of who he is. So it's going to be important to keep focus, and make sure things run smoothly, yeah? And to make sure that people don't rub each other too raw.
