Order Only: Private Message to Hermione, Remus, Dora, Draco, Snape, Ellie, and Bea. Oh, and Kreacher

[alt_sirius]

Hermione, Remus tells me you asked about a party in honour of Minerva.

Of course, we can mark the occasion.

But he said something in the course of it that I want to clear up. He said, 'Technically, it's your house.'

Look. All I've ever wanted is for this place to be a home for whoever needs it. Right now that's you, and Draco and Sn Severus.

Oh, all right, I know only you and Remus can probably see this, but I'm making a point: This is your home, for as long as you want it to be. And you've every right to invite members of the Order into it for occasions such as this.

So. No more of this business how it's my house and I need to approve visitors or parties or whatever else you've planned. So long as Alice has given them the secret, they're welcome whenever you invite them.

That's that.

Wotcher, Sirius.

First off, heartily agreed.

Second, I think you broke the private messages.

[alt_sirius]

Wait. What?

You can see this?

Merlin, do you think that means they've been lying the whole time, and we've always been able to send PMs to more than two people?

[alt_lupin]

I distinctly remember people experimenting early on to see what would happen.

So you must have broken them. Personally.

[alt_sirius]

Ha!

I HAVE THE ULTIMATE POWER. Apparently.

[alt_nymphadora]

Well, I, for one, am blaming Kreacher.

[alt_sirius]

You can blame him all you like, love, long as I get the credit.

[alt_nymphadora]

Is it a true PM to everyone on the list, though, do you think? Or just open to everyone in the Order?

[alt_lupin]

The Order lock always trumps PMs. But it's hard to know, since Bea and Kreacher also don't have journals.

[alt_nymphadora]

Right. Time for a test or three, I imagine.

[alt_hermione]

We couldn't. Terry and I, I mean. When we--when we were in service. If I tried to write a PM to Terry, the journal would add Harry and Professor Carrow and it would remove Terry altogether.

But then we weren't free at the time. When Mr Weasley freed Terry, then we could PM each other but Harry's name was still on it until he freed me.

So maybe that's only because we're mudbloods. But I think this might be something new at that.

[alt_nymphadora]

Before we get too far afield, I do think the celebration is a lovely idea, by the way.

[alt_nymphadora]

Maybe? I can't remember trying to test it, other than making sure it worked under the lock, of course.
