Whoops! It's been a while since I wrote this anyway. Well, I won't make any jokes about me still being alive and all that, seeing it's quickly becoming a very unfunny joke.
Have you gotten an update from Kingsley yet? Poor mate hasn't slept since the attack, but we've come pretty far along. We know two of the three bastards who did it: the Barlock couple. Does anyone know of them? We're doing a pretty heavy search, but there's a lot of ground Apparating wizards can cover. Can they Apparate? You'd think we'd find more of these bloody Death Eaters splinched all over the place, the way the Apparate like it's a stroll.
Sorry, I'm rambling. I'm a little frustrated that we don't know where these tools are. If anyone has a hint, I'll pass it along.
Oh, and the Ministry got a couple of Muggle doctors do to a diagnosis on the boys, since they're better at dealing with rabies than we are. They...stuck something in their backsides, a big needle. Okay, I'm feigning ignorance: it was a vaccine, but it's still icky. How do Muggles deal with that all the time?
Apparently rabies is difficult to treat if they don't catch it right away, and they didn't in this case, so it's really up to the Patils if they want to recover or not. But they're strong boys, I know them. They'll pull through.
Anyway, back to work.
