Order Only: Distributing Books

[alt_sirius]

It's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up, isn't it?

I hope so, because we've got about 50 copies of the original Pure Victory for you lot to start giving out.

We've been stockpiling them at Grimmauld. Miss Parkinson, if you're still able to ask Hitty to deliver them, that would probably be the least conspicuous method. Otherwise, someone will have to meet us in the cave outside the village this Saturday.

And it ought to be this Saturday, since we heard on the wireless that the replacement's coming out very soon. And Hogsmeade might be the best venue to give them out, if it comes to that.

It's pretty good, you know? I thought I'd just read the first few pages and now I'm wondering if I can get through it before I really NEED to go to bed.

Well if Hitty can do it I hope she delivers copies to Lavender Brown and Padma Patil. Because it's not as if we could safely hand over a copy to either of them but I'm SURE they were wanting to know how it ends.

Brilliant. I'll send her an owl, and she can pop over to Grimmauld to pick them up.

You know I'm reading looking at this copy of the book, and there's a blank page right at the front. And another at the back.

Why didn't we put anything there? Like a letter to readers, saying something like, 'oi, the Lord Protector didn't want you reading this book because he thought it would corrupt you. The government tried to destroy every copy but they missed a few! And I thought you might like to know how the story ends. Your friend, Sirius Black.' Or something.

Is it too late to do it? We could use a duplication spell.

Well, Alice concurs with Severus. So unless there's a massive outcry, the Order of the Phoenix will be rising from the ashes.

And I'm definitely going to put this book down at the end of this current chapter.
