I know it's hard, love, but you might want Frank to see this. What she's done to herself. And what we're all having to do to help her survive it.
For what it's worth, I think we're about to be able to force the rest of the Order's hand and include almost all the Jrs, or at least tell them what they already suspect. I'd like to put it on the table, at any rate. So you'll have your Neville in the Order properly. But if that's the case - Circe, I don't want the boy to see his dad going the same way Minerva's been. Remus is blaming it on her double-life and I'm sure that's part of it; Frank's got other pressures but I know one thing plaguing him is what your children must think of you and how they're compelled to behave in front of their peers.
I think an object lesson for him, before his son gets another point of view about him, might be a good thing.
Oh, and remind me to tell you all about arriving to find Severus holding a tabby cat in his lap like he actually might have cared for her. Downright touching, if it weren't so bizarre.
