This may turn out messy. I'm writing it in the dark. They've shoved me into a closet and locked it. The git and the gorgon wants to be alone for se now, without me looking on, I guess.

So, yeah. I tried to get away, with somebody else. But it didn't work. I'd been given a portkey, and it took her, whisked her away. But it left me behind.

Blimey, I hope she's all right. Hermione...do you know, did she get there, wherever-it-was safely? They won't be furious at her, if I'm not there to explain, will they? They're not going to hurt her?

Anyway, there was a sort of magical klaxon as soon as the portkey activated. And he came running. He was furious. He knew someone had ported out. So I had to cobble a story together on the fly, but I guess I convinced him. He wrote to his sister--you probably saw that. When she got here, they did a bunch of spells, as soon as she arrived. I dunno what they were trying to do. But I felt something like a huge silent WHUMP! like all the air on the world suddenly rushed into my lungs and rushed out again. And they did some more spells on me. Made me feel a bit dizzy and sick. Binding spells, I think they were.

Bugger. I'm not going to be able to get away from here now at all. Am I?

If you can tell me anything else you remember about the spells they cast on you I'll research them to find out how to break them.

Dark Arts class ought to be good for something.

No matter how they've warded the castle, if you can get OUT of the castle Hermione's friends will still be able to get to you. It's just going to be harder.

Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. Okay-ish. The way you left it I was worried he'd killed y something really bad had happened to you.

Alright.

I will see what I can find out about the binding spell, but probably not until I get back to school.

It's the fidelius charm, I'll bet.

You make someone your secret keeper, and then you or whatever else you want to stay hidden stays that way no matter what, unless the secret keeper tells the person directly where it is. They could be standing right next to you and never know it.

I read about it in a book. There was this wizarding sailor, Magister Wigbold, and he made his true love his secret keeper to the location of his gold, only she betrayed him and told where it was to one of his enemies.

It's wicked hard to do, though. Really complicated. I don't think the blood stuff had anything to do with that bit, though, because it's not blood magic. At least it wasn't in the book I read.

So what does that mean for Terry? Because he doesn't want to stay hidden. If he escaped from where he is, would the Twins not be able to see him even if he were standing right in front of them?

I'm not sure. I mean, from what it sounds like, it was to hide the castle. And as long as people are in the castle, they're hid too. But if he left the castle, I'm pretty sure we could see him.

I'll see what I can find in the library about it.

That makes sense, then.

The fidelius charm was to make sure no one can see the castle.
The binding spell with the blood was to keep Terry in the castle.

Probably.

But who was the other person you were trying to take with you?

Terry, mate. I'm, wow.

Yeah. I'm really sorry about what happened today. That's awful.

Why didn't it work? The portkey, I mean? Why didn't it take you? Was it some spell Carrow'd already put on you?

I mean, I guess we could try to find out how to make portkeys and maybe you could make yourself another. Only, I suppose that's really advanced magic, innit?

We're feeling a great deal of ire here towards Amycus Carrow. It's really gotten personal.

We think it's time we started doing some serious hex and charm research. Because we are NOT giving up on getting you out of this mess, Professor.

Oh Terry I'm so sorry.

It's lunchtime here and I finally got away. – I'll tell people about what you said, about the Fidelius charm and everything else. I don't know what else I can say here. I can't really risk it, I mean, with the promises I've made and everything, I can't talk about that, I just can't.

Yes, she got there. No, they won't hurt her.

I don't know what will happen now, I don't know what's possible, I'm so sorry, Terry.
