Order Only: Tutoring

[alt_molly]

Regarding the tutoring that Remus mentioned: Alice, I know Fred and George gave you a list of names of who should be included. After giving it some thought, I think the best way to handle it is for me to contact the childrens' parents and say that I've arranged tutorial assistance for my own children and I'm willing to host sessions over at the Burrow. Shall we start on Monday, at noon? Then, Alice if you can write fidelius notes giving them permission to find 12 Grimmauld Place, I can distribute them, and we can move the lessons there. How does that sound?

Well, he wouldn't have to go there every day. Just once, like the others using the Burrow. He could go somewhere else other days and Floo from there (or he could probably Floo from Buckingham if no one could overhear him).

But Mrs Longbottom thinks it's too dangerous so it's okay.

Well, how closely do they watch him? Won't they notice if he's gone for hours at a stretch each day? (For that matter, won't the Malfoy boy notice? Surely HE'S not Even if he can conceal his absences from the adults, his friends are another matter.)

I don't want us to take unnecessary risks, either. But given how much the Junior Auxiliary already knows, I'm not convinced that excluding him from the secret of 12GP is going to keep anyone any safer. He may need a safe house as badly as any of them.

Draco's going to have a load of O.W.L. tutoring, too. Mr Malfoy would let them work together with the tutor but if Harry didn't want to do it no one would stop him.

That's why Laszlo was a good thought because they've both been before and Professor Lestrange knows it's safe. He probably wouldn't even need much of an escort.

I'm fine with Harry finding out about the safe house. It's his ability to get away unnoticed without a security escort in such a way so that people won't track him down to the Burrow or Lazslo's and start asking uncomfortable questions that I'm concerned with.

At this point, we're juggling far too much in terms of security, and his spending any significant time at Grimmauld right now is not something I am willing to risk.

The only thing I could see happening would be Harry meeting some of his friends for tea at Lazslo's, with Remus, Sirius, and Tonks thoroughly maintaining their respective covers. However, I think we all should agree that the entire purpose of all of this is intensive learning, and taking extra time from all of that for a social tea is going to be complicated.

It's not happening this time, I'm afraid.

Fair enough, Allie.

Hermione, see if you and he can get away on Sunday and come round the shop. We're closed on Sundays so we can tell him it's a safe place to come, should he ever need it, without being interrupted by customers.
