Order Only

Well, things have been hopping over at Laszlo's Unlimited this weekend! I think everyone who went to the Frost Faire last week instead has been spoiling for an evening out without having to pretend to anything.

It's been the sort of nights where extra hands would have been helpful.

Which is what we'd hoped to talk to you about, Arthur. Beth told Dora that it would go a long way with the authorities in town - to say nothing of making things easier for the Ponds household - if Dora and Junius got themselves a muggleborn.

Arthur, we had in mind that you might be able to help make sure we get someone who'll be trustworthy and not a Ministry plant. But it has to be said that there's a huge amount of risk even in that much. Still, we all somewhat like the idea of being able to help someone get out of the camps with a legitimate excuse - and that it might also help Dora and Remus with their situation at Laszlo's. And then there's the hope that that person would also be able, eventually, to help with all our enterprises.

What does everyone think?

I'm of two minds about it.

On the one hand, I know they would have all sorts of opportunities they wouldn't otherwise. And that their lives would no doubt be better too.

I'm not certain how to say exactly what I'd be worried about, but we'd be putting them in a potentially dangerous position, and they wouldn't have much choice in the matter, would they? I mean to say... well... they couldn't necessarily join up with Sherwood, or leave the country, not really, not without raising suspicion... and if they found out that they were doing something dangerous and didn't want to do it, what would happen then?

I know you have their best interests in mind, but they have so few choices as it is, and I'm just worried about taking advantage.

And would it be hard for you? To always have to worry about being seen by them?

I think it might be good, Arthur, if you could pinpoint someone who has a relative or other connection with someone in the Sherwood band. Someone who could vouch for them from the outside, if you will. Maybe even someone they've networked with, from within the camps.
