alt_frankarthur and me tracked down the lees. the lee-wilsons. they have twins like we thought, and they got the two mixed up in hospital and haven’t sorted out yet which one is francis and which one is james which is why the names kept switching. didn't seem to bother them over much, though. they're a bit different like that from what I can tell. both dead smart, I mean they make me look like a drooling idiot. worked as professors at muggle university, cambridge or something, and as soon as we told them about the book and the names flipping back and forth like they've been doing they started talking about german cats and just completely lost me there, but they got it all right away, knew what we were trying to do, they thought it was a great idea. and coming from them, well, I guess that really means something.
here's the thing though. they want to come with. and that’s what we’ve been talking over for the past hour. and it’s not just because they want to be with their kids, because they saw right away that we’d have to take both just to be safe, but because they want to help. and I really think they could. Regina, she’s the mum, she was a… well, she said it a couple of times, but it was pretty complicated – but it was something like botany and she was really good with plants. like she’d spent years learning about how to grow things more effectively and have bigger crop yields. and fu, he’s the dad, he was a historian, but his speciality was in weaponry. and he knows his way around a gun – all sorts. used to have a ball and shot musket collection, and would restore them for fun and knows how to weld and everything. I know John and Davidson would be all about that. they also have all these books they've kept secret so that they wouldn't get destroyed or grow all mouldy, they dug out a dirt cellar just to keep them safe. must be hundreds down there easy. they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty or help out in the nursery either, and we needed an extra hand any road, and they were teachers, so that’d help us out too. and that way they could be with their kids and not have to give them both up. but I told them we’d have to talk it over first of course. they really want to help, and I think they could. Arthur’s still talking to em because they have a ton of ideas that he’s real excited about.
I know we were planning on getting someone from sherwood to give us a hand, but these folks could help us both out.
