Chapter Four
"Hey! Hey Harry's sent a letter...erm that's weird its addressed to me, Remus, Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Molly and Arthur," Sirius read out blinking in confusion at the others as they looked up from their lunches to listen. Luckily in the room was everyone in the letter, Tonks and Kingsley.
"Why is he sending a letter addressed to everyone?" Molly frowned from where she was placing the last of the lunch dishes onto the table.
"Don't know, better open it and find out," Sirius muttered as he looked at the letter thoughtfully.
"Do you think he's alright?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"You don't think the Dursleys have done something to him do you?" Ginny said quickly glancing around the table in concern.
"I do not think that Harry would have taken the time to address his letter to us all if he was hurt," Remus smiled comfortingly. "Sirius are you going to open the letter or try and read it through the envelope!" he snapped smacking the back of Sirius's head.
"Right, right sorry," Sirius cleared his throat and turned the letter to open it. Everyone was watching him intently as he opened it and then pulled it out. "Dear Padfoot, Mooney, Hermione, Ron, Molly, Arthur, Fred, George and Ginny. Ok first I guess I should say please do not freak out..."
"Well that's brilliant! I'm freaking out now," Ron grumbled interruption Sirius. "Sorry, sorry," he apologised seeing the looks he was getting. Sirius grinned at him before he carried on reading out the letter.
The room was completely silent for two minutes after Sirius read out the last part. Everyone sat open mouthed, staring at Sirius who was staring at the letter, all of them trying to take in exactly what it was that they had just heard. Then all hell broke loose.
"What the hell does he mean don't freak out? Of course I'm freaking out!"
"Malfoy! Malfoy!"
"He's disappeared!"
"He's with Lucius Malfoy Merlin knows where and pregnant!"
"Why didn't he feel he could come to us?"
"Oh Merlin where is he?"
"He could be anywhere!"
"He's with Malfoy, Malfoy! How can he be safe?"
"He's pregnant!"
"Merlin he's pregnant!"
"He's falling for Malfoy?"
"He has to be cursed!"
"A potion!"
"Check the letter!"
"Run every spell!"
"Remus check the letter! Check the letter!"
"We should get Bill!"
"What the heck, guys I was asleep!"
"Check the letter, check the letter!"
"What letter?"
"THIS LETTER!" The room roared to Bill who had the letter shoved into his chest. Blinking he rubbed his hand through his bed mussed hair and took the letter with a yawn.
"Who's the letter from? And why am I checking it?" Bill yawned tiredly as he blinked down at the letter. "And did you guys have to apparate me from my bed?"
"Just check the letter! For any curses, any confundis, mind controlling spells or potions that may have been used on the writer, anything!" Remus growled grabbed Bill's pyjama top.
