Has anyone received their copy of The Daily Prophet? They're very late this morning, and they didn't say anything about changing their daily publication schedule!

I didn't get mine, either. I don't think anyone has.

[sm_bones]

I—that really worries me. They've never been late before.

[hj_granger]

I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

[sm_bones]

I hope so. It's silly, but seeing The Daily Prophet every morning is reassuring for me.

[gregory_goyle]

I don't think it's silly. It's something you can count on every day to know your place in the world. I get it.

[sm_bones]

I know you do.

[hj_granger]

No, I understand. When you feel helpless, it's comforting to know as much as possible about what's going on.

[sm_bones]

Exactly. I knew you'd understand, Hermione.

[filius_flitwick]

None of the staff have gotten ours, either. I have a friend who works at the Prophet; I've sent him an owl asking about it.

[sm_bones]

You don't think anything has happened them, do you?

[filius_flitwick]

I certainly hope not. I'll let you know when Fernandas owls me back.

[sm_bones]

Thank you, Professor. I really appreciate it.

[su_li]

I haven't received mine either. Do you— Do you think something has happened?

[sm_bones]

I hope they're just delayed.

[justharry]

I hope everything's all right.

To be honest, though, it's not like The Daily Prophet can really be taken seriously as a news source anymore.

[sm_bones]

I think I can tell what's real and what's nonsense in the paper, Harry.

[justharry]

What? I know you can, I just meant that they're not really trustworthy. At least not while they have Rita Skeeter.

[vaguely_luna]

I haven't got mine, either. Do you suppose it could be owl mumps? I'd hate for Eupheme to get ill again.

[sm_bones]

I hope it's something as simple as that, honestly.
