Does anyone have an owl they can lend me?

[alt_luna]

All the school owls are gone because the Ministry is using them, and I don't have one of my own.

I really want to send an owl to my father.

You're dead right. The thing is, everyone thinks Mr Lovegood's cracked, so they'll believe any mad thing the Ministry want to say about him. And nothing he or Luna or anybody else says on his side will make any difference at all.

But, y'know, I think there's something really odd going on. Did you see what my Mum wrote to Luna the other day? She told her it *wasn't* the muggle disease, and she swore to her it wasn't. She wouldn't have done that if she'd thought there was any chance he did have it. And, okay. I know my Mum isn't a Healer, but she knows a lot about stuff like that. I mean, she has to with all of us. Otherwise, she'd have been taking someone to hospital every other day.

Besides. She'd never lie to Luna. She just wouldn't.

Well why do you think he had to go to St Mungo's then?

I mean I think you're right your mum wouldn't swear it wasn't the disease if it wasn't. But he might have gotten sick after they got there, and anyway why else would she have taken him?

I just went back and looked at that journal entry again.

She didn't actually say he was sick. It said he was 'under the weather.'

Could that mean that he wasn't sick, but somehow hurt instead? Like an accident, I mean? And maybe he got hurt in some way that she didn't want to say in the journals? I wondered, because she said she'd send Luna an owl. Like why couldn't she say it right there, if it was okay for everybody to see?

Not sure what that means, though.

Huh.

Maybe he got hurt making something the Ministry wouldn't approve of. Like that car Or doing something kind of illegal.

She wouldn't lie? You're sure, if she thought it would make Luna less afraid?

Mum said 'pinkie swear.' She would never EVER lie with a pinkie swear.
