Order Only: Private Message to Remus and Dora

[alt_sirius]

Merlin.

When Ron just appeared in the kitchen like that! And then disapparated with hardly a word, only to pop back a few minutes later. Could have knocked me over with a quill.

The look on Ellie's face. We're lucky she didn't scream.

And on a Friday, too. With this weather - Circe, if we'd been any busier ....

And yet. I'm dead chuffed for them all.

Right, well, Miss Fawcett's settling down. I'd better stay for a bit.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

But it does give us something to remind them about. It wasn't a good decision in the field.

Maybe they had a reason. They were trying to get a child away from Hogwarts as quickly as possible, after all; they might have been afraid that Tilda's house would be searched.

[alt_nymphadora]

Maybe they were worried it would be traced to Madam P.

[alt_sirius]

Won't know until we ask. Kingsley's right about that: We should ask them to go back and think through their plan, analyse it for what worked well and what could have gone better.

[alt_lupin]

And what could have gone wrong.

They were all sorts of lucky tonight.

I'm hesitant to ask that question, though; they might never sleep again. Any of them.

[alt_sirius]

Good point.

Reminds me of when we were just a bit older than they are now. And what we got up to for Albus back then.

But speaking of sleep ... don't you think it's about time to shut things down over there?

[alt_lupin]

Oh yeah.

We kicked out the last customers a little while ago, just finishing up with the dishes now.

We'll see you soon.

[alt_nymphadora]

Shame we'll have to wait to have them all here in one room with us again until term's over.

I suppose we could ask Hermione to go between for us, or the Weasley twins, but that seems as if it would be awkward and not very satisfying.

[alt_sirius]

Well, if we ask Hermione to be sure they do it, soon, while it's fresh, they could always bring the notes over the summer.

Listen to me, assuming they'll want to come back for the summer.

I think Grimmauld makes a lovely boarding school, don't you?

Ron Weasley would probably say it serves us right for not letting him in the Order when he asked so nicely MONTHS ago.
