ORDER ONLY

I know he can’t read this. Can you read it to him, Frank? And if you haven’t told him all about Moddey Dhoo yet, now would be a good time to catch him up on what we’ve been doing these past ten odd years.

Remus, I am so very happy that you are safe, and that you’ve had a chance to show your side of the story to Kingsley and my Frank. I am thrilled that I can finally talk to you openly, and I hope that I can see you again very soon.

I know that what happens next is up to you. And I know that you have every reason to be angry with all of us for shutting you out for so long. But if you’re willing, you can come up and stay with us for as long as you like. Even if it’s just for a little while until you figure out your next step.

I hope that you do.

We’ve already started making plans to get the place ready for you, if you decide to make Moddey Dhoo your home. I know, I know, I’m counting my dragons before they’ve hatched, but it’ll take a good two or three weeks to finish everything, and I wanted to be sure we were prepared before the next full moon. Arabella – you remember Arabella Figg, don’t you? She’s in charge around here, and I had to wait for her say-so before I could write this to you. She’s given her approval, and says that you are more than welcome. Stephen also put in a good word for you, even though he only met you briefly, and hopes that you are feeling better. And there’s Ian, too. Do you remember Ian? He remembers you quite fondly, and talks of you often. I'm sure he'd love to see you again.

You’d have a room of your own to stay in, if you’d like. We’re planning to reinforce the old guard house walls, shutter the windows, and repair the lock on the door, so that you would have a place to stay during your transformation that would be secure.

We’ve also been hard at work checking all the windows and doors of the main building, where we all sleep, making sure they close securely and all the locks work, so you wouldn’t need to worry about all of us.

Please come stay with us, Remus? I’d love to see you again. You will always have a home here.

And if you don’t care to come and stay, you can expect that I’ll be sending you lots and lots of letters now that we can write regularly, and I’ll expect that you’ll send some back, otherwise I’ll be quite put out.

Frank, dear, that’s all for now. I hope that when you come back to Moddey Dhoo, you’ll be bringing Remus with you. Come home soon. I miss you both so very much.

Oh, and Poppy, just to let you know, I’ve been keeping well out of the picture when it comes to making all these repairs. My poor feet and joints are giving me fits. I’ve been using that charm to help counterbalance me, but this little one sits much lower than my first two, so it’s hard to adjust. In other words, everything is perfectly normal. Stephen’s kept a close watch on me, so I feel as if I’m in capable hands. Merlin, I’ll be glad when this is over.

And one more thing. Hermione? Even if Remus decides not to come to Moddey Dhoo, we’re planning on going forward with the repairs so that we can be ready for your mum and dad to come and stay with us. I know it’ll most likely be a good long while, and I’m not one for false hopes, but we still plan on providing a place for them here just as soon as we are able.
