ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Grimmauld

[alt_nymphadora]

Just a heads up, I'm not quite finished re-covering the chairs in the library, so watch where you sit, yeah? The stripey one is still a work-in-progress and may have some sticky-up bits, and the dark blue one isn't tacked down properly yet. And I'm nearly finished clearing out the hallway closet on the ground floor, apologies for the dust.

And no, Sirius, I haven't gone round the twist. I'm experimenting to see if we can't sort out something so we don't have to keep tiptoeing around a portrait.

I never said you were going round the twist.

[alt_nymphadora]

You might not have said it, but I could hear you thinking it at dinner, clear as day.

Perhaps Hydra's not the only family member with mind-reading skills.

[alt_sirius]

Might want to work with Hydra a little on your skills, then, love. Believe me, no one would be happier than I if we could remove, silence or otherwise neutralise that portrait. I think what I was thinking was that we've more or less tried everything already.

But so long as you're not wearing yourself ragged trying, if it pleases you to experiment, then by all means.

[alt_lupin]

Did you want any help with the chairs?

[alt_nymphadora]

Another pair of hands to help with stretching is always appreciated, ta very much.
