Order Only: Meeting?

[alt_sirius]

Well.

Albus, you wanted a meeting with us all after the students had left. And Frank's now finished the border run.

So if we want a place to meet, Grimmauld's available. Remus and Dora will tell Ellie that they're closing the shop Friday night so that we can all be there. Allie, I think it's 'Matilda's' anniversary and so Junius and Dora have offered to bring Bea and watch your two at yours while you and the husband have a romantic night's holiday.

Don't think Frank will mind. Oh, but if you come a bit earlier in the afternoon, we could go round and try Puneet's parents again, maybe.

What do you all say?

I think Frank would mind less if it was an actual holiday, but that sounds perfect. Matilda will be sure to send along a nice thank-you card.

I say Grimmauld works for us -- we can bring along Arabella with us, and I think Stephen McGivern will want to come too.

Also, Terry overheard the twins talking about the possibility of our meeting, and mentioned that he wanted to come along. There's quite a few of you he wants to see and thank in person. It's up to Arthur and Minerva, of course. But while we're on the topic of our Terry, I'd like to use some of our meeting time to discuss adding Terry to the Order lock.

I'm not suggesting he take on any missions or duties, but I think it would be good for him to be able to communicate with Fred and George and Sirius more easily. He's got his methods of writing with Hermione, of course, but this would provide another way for him to do so.

I know it's not the original intent of the Order lock, but I figure at the very least, while we're all together, we can discuss it.

And we'll be sure to bring along the goods for Lazslo's from Aleks, of course.

We've been unpacking and sorting this morning, and it all looks to be in order. He's even managed to track down a rather obscure book on wand lore by Yvette Lefebvre for Mellisandra. It's written in French, but she said that she can read French tolerably well, so that's good news. And a new influx of wands was much needed; since our recent additions, we've been running low, and Sherwood will be happy to benefit from our windfall, I'm sure.

Molly and I will be able to come. We have invented a 'night out,' with Bill squiring us around New London. Hurrah for romantic getaways.

Adding Terry to the Lock? Hmm. I would be amenable to have him attend the meeting, or at least part of it, certainly; I would like to see the boy, I admit. And I'm sure that Minerva and Poppy would be pleased to see him again, too. It's probably best if he isn't present if we discuss adding him to the Order Lock, though, so we can speak of any concerns freely.

The two of us can take turns, Dad, sitting with him in one of the other rooms. If that makes it easier. We can switch off, or catch each other up on what happened later.

[alt_arthur]

Yes, that would probably work.

I'm afraid he might find Kreacher rather unnerving.

[alt_frank]

what about ridley?

should we bring her with too?

or keep a light guard on her while we're away?

[alt_alice]

Frank Longbottom, you've got another hour of sleep left.

Don't make me come in there and Stupefy you.

[alt_frank]

I'm sleep writing.

fine.

I'll see what I can do.

[alt_alice]

All right, love, you can stop humouring me now. Make sure you eat before you go.

[alt_frank]

aye aye.

[alt_sirius]

Who can we spare to keep an eye on her?

I don't fancy Alice telling her the secret for Grimmauld.

[alt_pomona]

I believe I could arrange Friday evening.

By then, I do hope the examiners will be entirely out of the place, but in case they're not, Poppy and I may need to think of some excuse to be less visible. (The remaining children, however, are leaving that morning.)

[alt_mcgonagall]

Albus has requested Weasley Secundus's presence at the meeting.

[alt_arthur]

Interesting.

He thinks he will be able to arrange it, Minerva, so plan to see him there.
