I do not know where any of us will wind up. I suppose Moddey makes the most sense for me — Black's sense of hospitality will likely wear thin quickly enough when confronted with the reality of two depressed teenagers and his least favourite person — but I will not leave Draco and Hermione unsupported, for all that Hermione does not wish to see me at the moment; I will, of necessity, go where they do.

Speaking of tasks: I have volunteered to attempt the Ministry's message archives, and although it might seem radical, I propose to bring Draco with me. Under polyjuice he would not be recognised, and — although I do not know how best to help him — I am convinced that mouldering away in this house is not the way to do it.
