Order Only: Gavenia (and Remus)

[alt_molly]

Little Gavenia Selvaratnam is safely tucked into her new cot in the nursery at Moddey Dhoo. It was rather harrowing to get her here, and not because we had any particular trouble with her parents or the parchmentwork or confunding the camp administrators or anything like that. I went with Remus, and that turned out to be rather a bad idea, as it's right after the full moon. After we apparated away from the camp to the safe spot here outside Moddey, poor Gavenia took exception to her first journey by apparition and spewed all down Remus' front. Her nappy needed changing, too. Remus' sense of smell is quite excellent at this time of month, whereas his stomach is extremely touchy and...oh dear. I shall spare you the unfortunate details.

Sirius, it's your turn to pour ginger tea into Remus for a change. I side-along apparated him to Doughty Conduit because I didn't think he'd be quite up to managing it himself.

I think we should wait until at least three days after the full moon next time.

Must have been some nappy. (Not that I'm asking for details, mind, but it's not as if we're strangers to infants and their by-products.)

Anyway, he's settled in bed with a book and keeps saying he feels fine.

I am fine.

A bit humiliated but I've survived that before.

Ta. I'm not going to contradict Molly when she's in a mothering mode.

Anyway, you did look peaky when you came in but it's been a long week, all round.

I like rescuing babies. It's possibly the most rewarding task around, saving muggleborn wizard babies from certain doom (AND getting to snuggle a little baby AND getting to pass it off to Alice before it needs a nappy change, usually).

So naturally now I won't be able to do it unless it's three days past the full moon (or more) lest I lose my last meal on Alice's doorstep.

Possibly I am wallowing in self-pity and should stop.

No, that's not it at all. Just don't go within three days if you're going with Molly. Dora or I will go with you anytime.

We should probably initiate Jeremy soon or he'll think the only reason we wanted him in the Order was to help Ellie tend bar.

We could tell him it's our version of a hazing ritual and he'll be glad it's not worse.
