After the odd encounter with M el, sye had sent his owl Elohim off with a letter to Joe. Since his father had had him locked up in the house for the past 3 days for not coming home the one night, Sye had had Joe stay in Diagon Alley to keep an ear down low. He had asked if Joe heard anything that would explain Mel's behavior.
After a few minutes more of waiting, Elohim came into the train. "Hey boy." Sye greeted the snowy white owl while undoing the strap from around his leg.
Sye opened the letter and read what Joe had written.

Master Sye,
After thinking about what you asked, I remembered overhearing some ramble between Amy, Mel, and an incident where Miss Maddie ran away from that after looking at a picture. This picture allegedly showed you, the first night you where home, out on the town with another young lady. Apparently pictures where also taken showing you kissing said lady. Knowing that this was false, and seeing as it seems to be causing you drama, I took this to your father. Your father and my team have determined that one of your body doubles was tracked leaving your home, and this picture was of him. Attached is the picture if you should need to for evidence that it is not you. While Sam, the double in this case, is passable as you, noted things of interest can be seen, such as hair style, nose shape, and mouth shape.
I hope to hear from you safe and sound throughout the year.
Sincerely yours,
Joe Waymen
Sye finished reading this, and then looked at the picture, he could see why Mel could have been fooled, but his heart broke due to the fact this had to have hurt Maddie.
