I have a request for each of you.
There are special circumstances surrounding this request, of course, but I assume it is easier to tell you what needs done than to take the extra time in explaining the reasons behind it.
Harry Potter needs to have no contact with his former Gryffindor friends once we gather for the train on Sunday. Blaise and I can manage once we've returned to the school and our dormitory, but until then, I hope the two of you can help to ensure that they are not able to get within reach of him.
Harper, if you can also ask your brother to keep his eye on the luggage compartment until the train leaves the station and after it arrives at the school, it would be much appreciated. Harry Potter's trunk should be left untouched unless it is by him or one of us.
In fact, he might offer to assist him with it should the opportunity arise so that we can be certain where it is stored. If possible, we should also invite Potter to share a compartment with us.
I realize this might be asking a bit much of you, but I assure you, his presence is much more easily tolerated now than it was before.
-of course, if any of his former mates happen to miss the train entirely as a result of our efforts, it would just make the train ride that much more pleasant, now woudln't it? ;)
ooc: I am not going to write out the conversation Victor had with Theo about this topic. I'm just assuming they had it.
