When I joined the Order I was utterly shocked that you'd allowed children to join. Actual children, not even of age yet.

Bill told me he'd made the mistake of thinking of them as 'children' for far too long. That they'd proven themselves. That they'd made astonishing contributions.

He was right. I sent Justin after Ptolemy Baddock because I knew he'd have both the patience and the skill to get to him. Just as I sent Ron to infiltrate the new Security Forces meeting this week -- he'd be able to do it, in his animagus form -- and had Draco replace Faust.

We have not won this war yet.
