Ishmael,

We have a job that requires your expertise. I have read troubling news about Hogsmeade so it might be worthwhile for you to stay over for the time being following the jobs completion. If you want.

Monty,

Troubling news for the rest of you, maybe - but some of us don't have magic to lose or care much for seeing sunlight, so I've got nothing against this fog, as a matter of fact. No sign of it in London?

Still, I'll come down soon, don't fret. Just for the job.

Next time just tell me how much you miss me, it'd be more convincing.

Monty,

I might be more delayed than expected: I've had an... unexpected visitor I have to deal with first. I'll explain later.

The fog's been spreading, too, so best you don't come up here either. People in Hogsmeade seem jittery. As for my kind, well, we're happy as clams.

Just make sure you stay out of trouble while I'm not around. You can manage that, can't you?

Ishmael,

You are impossible.

And yes, I may be a mere mortal compared to you but I have my ways.

Mere Mortal, as you say,

It's almost a shame you're not up here with me, to make the most of everyone not having magic. (I might take better advantage of it if I could actually get onto anyone's property without asking.)

Impossible

Ishmael,

It's always a shame when you are apart from me. If I could be my own company, it would be a total joy.

We could have made such a fortune. People in Hogsmeade rely on magic to keep their valuables safe, quite a bit I would imagine.

Monty
