ORDER ONLY: Sirius. Frank.

I more than understand your tender attentions to Professor Carrow, but I would have appreciated fair warning.

Am I to take it that you used Polyjuice Potion? Or was it only Sirius, and was he actually hallucinating?

It wasn't that much polyjuice, really. Just one dose.

As for the damage ... well, we figured that as tempting as it was for him to disappear, that would have been entirely too much attention for everyone.

Are you sure about the ribs? I mean, of course you are, but - well. I thought I heard one crack.

[alt_poppy]

No, curse him, the ribs were all intact. Bruised, yes, but not a one of them broken.

'Frank' seems to have hit hardest just below them: his internal injuries were extensive. Consistent with having been kicked, I'd warrant. (Naturally that is not anything like what I've assured Alecto.)

[alt_sirius]

Yeah, I'd say there was some kicking. Once he was down, certainly. (It's not as easy as you might think to punch someone who's already on the ground.)

Well. I'd say that really the worst of what we did to him is yet to come. Er, has he ... that is, I assume you've not let him drink since he's been in your - tender - keeping?

[alt_poppy]

You're quite right. I've not allowed him a drink.

What exactly did you do to him? Perhaps I could arrange to dose him with an alcohol-based elixir. I've told him he should expect to be here another two nights at the least.

I was forced, by the way, to ban Alecto from the ward this morning: she hexed one of my youngest patients for taking up my time and attention.

So if there's good reason why I might wish to offer Carrow a dram, the event should go unreported.
