Disturbances reported in Diagon. I stopped for a drink (that is to say: to listen for gossip from those who still cling to the days when Diagon was our only centre for gathering, they being least likely to mourn once we can no longer suppress the news) and the teeming masses were certain something had happened, though no two stories agreed on what that something might be. The wildest of rumours have a gang of marauders rampaging up and down the Alley, wands drawn. (As to that, I found no evidence, though I did take care of several more minor incidents.)

I fear we may not be able to hold the news much past tomorrow at latest. I have not heard rumour that approaches reality yet -- but it is creeping ever closer. It may indeed be time for someone to sit down with Harry and have a frank discussion of political realities and the necessity of appearances.

I will be holding down my corner and my pint, and keeping my ears open, for at least the next half hour. If Bella arrives with her news before I return, send word; I do not know how late she meant.
