Order Only: Meeting at the Burrow? Perhaps the 12th?

[alt_molly]

Given the press of recent events, I agree with Remus that an Order meeting seems rather urgent, and I'd like to offer the Burrow as a meeting place. I was thinking this Saturday, the 12th, after the children everyone is back from Hogwarts. We might have one later on during the holiday, too, but, well...I think we should get together as soon as possible.

The only difficulty is the presence of Ginny. Luna, do you think you could prevail upon the Browns to allow you to have Ginny over for dinner and to spend the night? I'm sorry it would mean you would miss the meeting, but you would be doing us a great service, and I'm sure there are any of us who would be happy to catch you up on things afterwards, aside from the official Minutes.

I'm guessing you need a safe haven, yeah? You'll have it.

But we should talk about things, you know. What your plans are now.

Look, you know I was just - worried about you. Angry, yes, but anxious, too. Still, I'm glad to see you're not completely withdrawn.

And just - don't kill Nott. I'm sure you'd like to. Merlin, we'd all like to but it's about the worst thing you could do right now. So keep your head, kiddo. It'll be hols soon.

On a scale of one to ten, how bad has it been?

How bad?

'This one goes to Eleven.'

As if the gossip and stares and punishments weren't enough, I received owls this morning from Posh and In the Soup, each offering a forum to 'tell my story,' what. I mean to say, they're jolly mad if they think I'm talking to a single reporter.

But I'm not going to kill Nott, yet. I admit I couldn't quite control myself when he decided to taunt me during Potions this afternoon. I waited until he turned his back and poured an entire vial of hellebore into his cauldron. I say, I think Slughorn knew what I was about but said nothing. Perhaps he's still feeling as if he mishandled our situation; I bally well hope so.

Anyway, yes, I'd like to talk about my plans. That's one reason I asked to go with you. Thank you.

I've got to get back to homework, though; the only reason I dared break out my journal is Professor Dolohov is interviewing some of the students who served detention last week, in connection to the same challenge where Montague caught me. He's set up anti-eavesdropping spells and such. I'm not certain it blocks his view, what, but at least while he's focusing on his other guest, I can risk checking on things.

I'll be all right. I've survived worse, as we know. Of course, I had Hy

I'm sorry for you both.

And it's not the first time Sluggy's had deliberate potions sabotage in his lessons. Just don't ask Snape about it.

Merlin, how they even teach Potions I don't know. Sorry. Probably shouldn't get me started on the Moddey Motleys, as I've come to call them. You would not believe the problems we have! Just today, even. You should come with me over holidays and see what I'm up against, maybe even help out, take your mind off it.

I know you'll be okay eventually, kiddo. I can't say I know what you're going through, exactly, but I can tell you that we've all had moments we bitterly regret. We'll think of something, though, don't worry.

I'll let you go. Just remember, you always have a place to go with us. All right?
