Private Message to Antonin Nikolaevich
Aug. 10th, 2015 06:19 pmAntonin,
Know that the relief we feel at having you back is matched only by the sympathy and grief we share for your loss. Barty was an immeasurable asset to the cause, and over the past weeks and months I have personally seen how important his devotion was to you, as a comfort, a companion and a promise of continuance of your traditions.
So you must also understand how I hate to intrude upon your mourning by telling you of the message Ginny Weasley received from Miss Longbottom. She says that Barty died about a mile south of the Astronomy Tower but that his body was torn apart. She seems to believe there is nothing to recover. It's difficult to tell from a journal post but it does seem to me that she might have been sending a message to taunt you.
Ginny's here with me and she says you can come and read the entry yourself, if you like. There's some Arabic I'm unable to translate accurately (he admits sheepishly).
If you'd like an honour guard to accompany you, should you decide to go investigate, say the word. I'm sure Lana will oblige.
