Oh, Merlin, Fabian, I just heard you're in the hospital. You were attacked? Please reply and tell me you're okay so that I can proceed to yell at you for not being careful.

[Fabian Prewett]

I'm sorry, Alice dear, Fabian hasn't awoken yet. I'll make sure he gets your letter when he does. We appreciate your concern.

Love,

[Alice Prewett]

He's unconscious?! Oh shi Merlin, Ursula, I'm so sorry. I really hope he wakes up soon. If you need anything, please let me know.

Dear Alice,

Thank you very much, dear. We'll keep you in mind. The Healers are doing everything they can, and all we can do is wait.

Love,

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm all right now, or I will be, anyway. No need to yell at me, I don't need another Molly.

Your favourite cousin,

[/blockquote]

[Alice Prewett]

I'll yell at you if I want to yell at you! Although, since I'm sure Molly has probably made your ears ring with her yelling, I'm going to be a dear and save it for later. How're you feeling, seriously? And don't try to spare my feelings, either.

PS: You are sooo not my favourite cousin right now. Be more careful next time and don't land yourself in the hospital, and I might reconsider. Seriously, between you and Sirius, I'm starting to get grey hairs! And I CANNOT be getting grey hairs, Fabian Horatio Prewett, I am a fox, and foxes do not get grey hairs.

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Oh, jolly, I'll be sure to prepare my ears. I'm fine, honestly, just can't spend much time out of bed yet.

Sure they do! There are grey foxes, aren't there? What's Sirius done to turn you into one?

Your should-be-favourite cousin,

[/blockquote]

[Alice Prewett]

Don't worry, I'll try not to be too shrill. Uh-huh, you better stay in bed until they tell you you can leave it, mister.

I'm not a grey fox! I'm a...red one. A foxy one. And oh, I suppose you wouldn't have heard. Marlene McKinnon was killed, and Sirius is...missing, apparently. He just up and left and no one knows where he is.

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Gee, thanks for the consideration. Don't worry, I'll be a good boy.

Nah, if anything, you're more of a... badger. Or a weasel. Maybe a raccoon.

My brother told me about Marlene, but what do you mean, Sirius is missing? His mates are out looking for him, aren't they?

Your almost-favourite cousin,

[/blockquote]

[Alice Prewett]

You better be.

....................Did you just call me a raccoon? After saying I could be a badger or a weasel?!?! The ENTIRE animal kingdom is available to you, and you pick a raccoon?!

Yeah, they are, but apparently he's out of the country or something because not even James or Remus or Peter know where he is!

[/color]

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Raccoon's just what came to mind. Not my fault.

Have they reported him missing? Maybe a more experienced tracker can find him.

Staying in bed,

[/blockquote]

[Alice Prewett]

Dearest Fabio,

Seriously?! Can't I be a kitten? Or a puppy? Or a swan? A squirrel!?

I don't think he wants to be found.

Your very non-raccoon-like cousin,

[/color]

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Oh yeah, a squirrel! Matches your cheeks.

Makes sense, I suppose. Guess we've just got to wait, then. Hope he hasn't gotten himself in too much trouble.

Out of bed now,

[/blockquote]

[Alice Prewett]

Dearest Fabio,

My...cheeks? Are you saying I still have chubby cheeks?!

Oh, it's Sirius. I'm sure he's gotten himself in some sort of trouble.

Your foxy cousin,

PS: Are you allowed to be out of bed, or should I sic Molly on you?

[/color]

[Fabian Prewett]

Dear Alice,

Don't worry, some people like squirrels.

Not a great way for him to end the year, is it? Maybe I ought to help track him down once I get out of hospital.

Don't worry, Molly and the boys have already seen me up and about, Healer-approved.

How's your holiday been?

Love,
