Order Only: Private Message to Charlie

[alt_sirius]

Just so you know, the day before the full moon? Bad timing if you wanted to keep it a secret.

(And awkward as this might be, trust me, I'm the one you want letting you know: We know.)

Ha. Hadn't thought of that!

Can't speak for Tonks, of course, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's all that awkward and I don't mind you lot knowing -- it's just the rest of the world who'd misunderstand. (Or, all right, the rest of my family.) And before you get the wrong idea, no, nothing more than a friendly afternoon. We figured we could both use a bit of a cuddle.

Just, you know, don't tell Mum. Or Bill. We'd never hear the end of it.

Ha. Dora said you'd never fall for the stern older brother act.

Relax. We all had a very pleasant discussion this morning about it. And from Remus and me, we're delighted to see Dora feeling safe and appreciated.

Merlin, that sounds far more condescending than I mean. She's a grown witch and she's one of the most capable people I know. And if you and she found a bit of comfort so much the better. She said the same thing, by the way: No strings, just chums. (Something I think I understand possibly more than Remus but then with my record, that's to be expected.)

And your secret's safe. We shan't raise an eyebrow if you're about more often, either.
