To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Poison in the ranks

Oh my giddy aunt!

Remus has been POISONED. Seriously, some complete psychopathic loser has POISONED HIM! Since 'Mr. H Potter' as they put it, is MIA (the greasy slime ball) they contacted me, and, get this, apparently as an 'E.C' (whatever the hell that means) I can observe my right to ask questions. Too right I will, they wouldn't be able to stop me even if I wasn't an 'E.C'! What does that mean? Sheesh!

This is sooo not good. And 'Mr Harry flipping Potter' isn't even here, it's his uncle! You'd have thought he'd at least want to see if he was OK, but nooooo, he can't even be bothered to do that. For god's sake he's been POISONED, poisoned with an UNKNOWN poison. Does he not get how serious this is? I know women are cleverer (oh yeah!) than men but really it can't be that hard to come see your COMATOSE uncle, oh so hard!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh!

You know people sometimes don't wake up from comas, he could just stop living, just like that. What if that happens? He can't die.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger COMATOSE?

He's COMATOSE? Oh, god.
Don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine. The Healers at St.Mungo's are great, they'll be able to return him to normal in no time!
Oh, and stop blaming Harry for not being here, he probably doesn't even know about his uncle. You're only saying that because you're upset with him, which, of course, is just my opinion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Am not. sticks tongue out

EXCUSE ME but I am not just saying that because I'm upset with him. I'm not upset, not upset at all, not even one teeny weenie bit, so there! IN fact, to show I'm not upset I'll mail him to tell him what's going on, would I do that if I was upset him? Hell no.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Harry Potter Ginny Weasley YOUR UNCLE

Hello.
I just thought I'd mail you to tell you that YOUR uncle, yes the man who was bit by a WEREWOLF, has been POISONED with an UNIDENTIFIED poison.
It might be crazy of me to wonder but, why the hell aren't you at his bedside seeing if he's ok?
I know for a fact that you've been sent a message telling you what's going on, so don't even think of playing that card. Got it?

Your COMATOSE uncle's neighbour.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Um hum

Of course not. I think someone's in denial. Someone means YOU. Yes, that's right, you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley I am NOT!

I am NOT in denial thank you very much. If either of us is I'd say you were. Yes, that's right, YOU.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Please?

Why am I in denial? You're the one you who has to mail Mr H Potter so that I think you're not in denial. Anyway, moving on, I have a favour to ask you.

Please please, pretty please could you persuade your Uncle Edward NOT to come to the wedding? It's not that he's not a great person, it's that, er, well he has a habit of getting a little disruptive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Drunk?

You mean when he's drunk? Yeah, he does tend to get a little over excited doesn't he? Don't worry, consider him banned from the wedding, except, of course, he won't know he's banned, he'll just think it's on a different day! A day far far away in the future!

Anyway, would you please come with me after work to see Remus?
I don't like to think of him all alone in a hospital bed. They're not exactly comfy. He'll be all by himself , just wondering why no one loves him enough to visit, thinking that he's done something wrong, come?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Comatose anyone?

I thought you said he was COMATOSE? Those in a coma can't 'just wonder', that's why they're in a coma! I think I'm going to have to watch out for you, you are going just slightly crazy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To:Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Hospital

Excuse me, but I meant to say that, it was a sly deploy to get you to come with me, it's just I don't want to go by myself, think of all the people that have died there! I'd get freaked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger OK

OK, ok I'll come with you. Just because I don't want you to get 'freaked out' as you put it, though. I'll have to mail Ron and tell him I can't come home as early as I'd planned.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Thanks

Have I mentioned I love you recently, because I do. Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger No Problem

No problem, just let's go early so I'm not back too late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley

Do I want to know why you want to get back so early?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To:Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger NO.

Not really, if fact I'd say you'd be glad not to know.

Subject: Blurgh

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Way too much information. That's my brother, Ewww shudders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger Ssshhh, I'm coming with you to the hospital

Oh hush.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley Red, Amber, GREEN!

OK, ready to go? Let's get cracking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley HUH?

What the hell? I am seriously confused. We go to Remus' room, see if he's okay, if he's still in a coma, unfortunately yes, sit down then notice he has a RIDDLE in his hand? It's like one of those day-time shows on WWN, you know, 'Clues Of Murder' or something. Except of course, Remus couldn't be on that show as, slight technical problem, he's not dead. So what is going on?

Do you know what the riddle means? Maybe it's a clue to who poisoned him. (Hey, I could be a detective don't ya think?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger RE: HUH?

Unfortunately I'm not quite sure what the riddle means. I have a idea, although it could be wrong.

This is the riddle again, (deduced from ink smatterings):

Notice those who are close,
The ones who crave what they need,
But can't have.
Not while a barrier stops them
From achieving their goal.

Believe not in what you know
But in what 'tu animadverto' knows
For nothing is as it seems.

At first this seems like it points to a rather obvious answer, someone close to Remus wants something of his. Something they can't have because he has it. But then it goes on to tell us, not to believe what you know, but what tu animadverto knows.
Tu animadverto, is Latin for 'you see'. So, the riddle is telling us not to believe in what we know, but in what we see, for nothing is as it seems.

Whoever wrote this must have wanted someone to read the riddle, why else bother to write it, the question is why did they want someone to read it? They must have meant you for to pick it up, Ginny or otherwise wouldn't they have stopped you from taking it from Remus' hand?

I think we should try to work out the riddle together, see what we can come up with. Is that okay, after all, it was probably meant for you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger Ginny Weasley
Subject: Fine

That's perfectly fine, you were always better at this sort of thing than me.
You really think it was meant for me?
Why would someone want to leave it for me of all people? I work at the Daily Prophet for Merlin's sake, it's not like I'm a top Auror or anything. Do they think I know some top Ministry Official who could help me solve it? Sheesh if they do, they think way too highly of me and obviously no nothing about me, nothing at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Hermione Granger IDEA!

Hmmm, you've given me an idea. Who do you know that you think doesn't know you?
I will have to look it up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ron Weasley Ginny Weasley Hermione

I see what you mean. It IS annoying when Hermione gets an idea and doesn't tell you what's going on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To:Ginny Weasley Harry Potter Upset?

Are you upset with me or something? Since when have you called yourself 'your uncle's neighbour'?
And, in answer to your question, the reason I haven't been to see my uncle is that I have only just got back literally five minutes ago. I shall be seeing him tomorrow, care to join me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Hermione Granger
From: Ginny Weasley Hello?

Earth to Hermione. What are you on about? What do you mean, 'Who do you know that you think doesn't know you'?

I have seriously no idea what you are talking about.

Oh and 'I-Pretend-I-Don't-Know-What's-Going-On' boy has mailed me. The git.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Harry Potter Ginny Weasley Hmmm…..

Hmmmmm……why ever could I be upset with you? Let me think. Oh, yeah, that's why, YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH SOME WITCH!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley
From: Harry Potter HUH?

What the bloody hell are you on about?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Harry Potter Ginny Weasley Tsk, tsk.

Don't play the innocent with me. I saw you. She was kissing you. At Ministry. Remember now?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Ginny Weasley Harry Potter What?

You followed me to the Ministry? What are you, a stalker?
And, for your information, Miss Weasley, she is my EX-wife, we are no longer are married, she was kissing me on the cheek because we are still FRIENDS.
Anyway, what's it to you if she kissed me on the CHEEK, might I add, we're not even going out!
