Order Only: Private message to Mrs and Mr Longbottom

[alt_ginny]

You know that room full of papers and things that Rachel and Bill and everyone brought back here from the Ministry? Rachel asked me and Honoria to start going through all of it and we've been working on it. There was this locked cabinet I finally got open this morning that's full of wands, tagged with their owner.

One of them is tagged 'LONGBOTTOM N, 23DEC1997, CHERRY/UNICORN.' I'll bring it up to your office but I just wanted to let you know it's here and we found it.

There are also wands for loads of the people we liberated from Azkaban, like Astra Morgansen and Doria Hibbings.

Aloysius Archer's wand is here, too.

Thank you, Ginny.

If you'll pass the news along to Wayne at dinner tonight, I'm sure he can make deliveries to the Azkaban rescues.

As far as Aloysius... that will be significantly more complicated. We might ask Susan to talk to Aurelia, or I can see what Cerys has in mind.

It's not just Aloysius Archer. There are a lot of wands here. Honoria's been making a list. Some of them belong to people we rescued. Some of them belong to people we didn't rescue because they were dangerous criminals. Some of them belonged to people who died who were on our side, some belonged to people who died and were on our side but were from horrible families, some of them belonged to people who died who were our enemies ... anyway.

I know we have a lot of people who need wands.

Oh and some of these wands are dead, at least judging from the way they feel when we pick them up. But others feel like they really want a new owner, you know?

[alt_alice]

There is certainly a need for it, yes.

And there's something to be said for giving these wands a new chance, a new life, as it were.

he'd want that.

I'm sure of it.

that, and the best damn garden you ever saw.

Yes.

I know he would. It's just

It's hard. Not having

Not laying him to rest.

You're right. His wand ought to go to someone who needs it.

[alt_frank]

thanks for letting us know.
