Order Only: Private Message to Justin and Hydra

[alt_sirius]

All right, there?

Justin, what's this about your potion catching fire? Is this to do with whatever happened last night?

If it's private or personal, I've no wish to pry but if there's anything we ought to know...well, I do hope you'll tell me.

You know we're all rather captive here without any idea what's going on. In the absence of hard facts, there's only speculation to be had. You should know that Sally-Anne's told Remus nothing apart from this training accident story, but.... Look here, are you two in some sort of trouble? Were you caught together, or something?

If you're afraid we'll be cross with you, I assure you, I'll do all I can to help.

Sirius,

It's extremely private and personal and yes, it might well affect the Order. Or, one should say, we'll make certain it does not affect the Order.

We weren't caught together--I say, not in the way you're asking. But the Headmaster knows we've disobeyed the Lestranges' wish that we cease our relationship. Auror Crouch knows it, as well.

We've no idea if they mean to inform the Lestranges yet, and if they do, I may have to withdraw from Hogwarts. Hydra might choose to do so as well. I sincerely hope it shan't come to that, for either of us.

I believe that's all that might concern you or Mrs Longbottom at this time. I hope you shan't take it amiss if I say that I doubt very much whether either of us care whether you are cross, or not, what. It's happened and there's nothing to be done about it but wait and see what comes next.

I see.

And Hydra, are you all right? Nothing to say, or does Justin speak for you on this? Is there anything you need from any of us?

[alt_hydra]

I suggest you let Justin speak, since he's the one aching to be heard.

That doesn't sound too good. What's he done?

I asked but she hasn't answered. What have you done?

Everything. Nothing. Too much, not enough.

I can at least state that Professor Dolohov will not be informing the Lestranges, though he's far from happy about it. One can't blame him, of course. I don't know what I expected--a fight, I suppose. Having to argue the case. But it didn't come to that.

I'm sorry, Sirius--Hydra's correct, I want to talk about it, but I don't think I had better.

Merlin. So she is pregnant, then?

Or...she was, but not anymore?
