Order Only: Private Message to Frank and Alice

[alt_sirius]

Everything all right?

We figure it can't be an alarm or you'd have written to everyone.

Still, can't blame a chap for worrying wondering.

[alt_alice]

No. It isn't.

Oh, Sirius.

Frank's working on something that will explain.

I'd re-hash it with you, only I'm a bit too heartsick right now.

We're fine. We will be. Fine. It's just one of those times where I'm happy and so very sad at the same time, and it's all a bit overwhelming.

[alt_alice]

And now you know what we've been up to today.

Short of the swearing, it's pretty much what I would've said too.

[alt_sirius]

Yeah.

Merlin, Allie.

Remus and I were just half-joking that sooner or later the whole lot of them will want to be inducted.

Listen, drop in once you've said your farewells to them, right? It's quiet in back tonight, I'm sure we can slip away to Grimmauld and talk for a while.

[alt_alice]

We're here til Friday, love. But once all is done, I'd very much like to make my way to Grimmauld for a little.

Very much.

[alt_sirius]

Eh. They have to sleep at some point, right?

[alt_alice]

You've got a good point.

I'll see if I can slip away for an hour or so while Frank holds down the tent, as it were.

[alt_alice]

Right.

Two of the three are down for the count and the third is fading. Frank has been thoroughly kissed and has agreed to not wade into the replies to his journal entry until I get back.

I need a large hug and a small drink of something steadying in whichever order pleases you.

I'll be there soon.

[alt_sirius]

Love, if I'd known it was that easy to get you to leave him for me ....

I'll be waiting for you with the brandy and the hug.

[alt_sirius]

Or I've got something else if you prefer? I think you've as good a reason for it as any.

[alt_alice]

God, yes please.
