Private Message to R Lestrange

We're tracking all the anomalies, and they keep being reported. The clock tower at the Palace of Westminster, swaying violently, like a sapling in a storm. The central section of Westminster bridge, fallen into the Thames. The Serpentine, iced over. The Monument, toppled. Cleopatra's needle, crumbled.

The Ravens vanished from the Tower precinct, only to reappear a half hour later out in the moat, ruffled, but apparently none the worse for the experience. Toads emerged by the thousands from the bathing ponds at Hampstead. Swarms of mayflies suddenly filled the Opera House.

So many reports of ghosts shrieking and banshees caterwauling, of werewolves turning out of cycle and creatures rampaging, of bats and owls (and other things) gone mad and attacking anything alive and in range.

I hate feeling that we've been taken by surprise again, and that all we can do is respond to calamity after calamity of their designing. We could so desperately use the extra forces we'll acquire once Bella's mandatory service regime is under way.


And the Floos have gone off again, and Portkeys are malfunctioning, so I'm stuck here at Buckingham. But, honestly, with all that's happening, it's as well. Only, don't expect me, love.

I'll be fine.
