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.

I'm not in a position to speak with her unless I have Minerva's authorisation, and then I could not tell her anything I'm not officially in a position to know. I suppose I could tell her that things at St Mungo's are a bit topsy-turvy and that they are forced to take precautions that in other circumstances would seem unnecessary. I could suggest to her that they have, perhaps, over-reacted and quarantined him just to be extra, extra certain that no one leaves St Mungo's with the disease and blames the Healing staff there with insufficient caution. I don't wish to lie to her, but I really can't share my suspicions with her, either.

Perhaps Minerva will have a better suggestion.

There's also the issue here that the Ministry is apparently trying to smear Xeno as a half-blood--a rumour that now the Head Girl is apparently working to spread further, I'm not pleased to see. Not that I consider half-blood status a smear, of course, but it may make things quite difficult for Luna with her housemates. How can such an errant lie be countered?

I do believe that that will suffice. I cannot imagine telling the child more.
