Order Only

alt_mollyMy dearest ones,
I had thought to make this a private message just to the Weasley family, but my goodness, there are a lot of us now, aren't there? I couldn't possibly squeeze all the names I want to include at the top of this one journal entry. More than that, I don't want to exclude anyone on this lock. It's so strange, but I've come to realise in the past twenty-four hours that my family includes the entire Order. Yes, even those of you reading this who always roll your eyes when you see me coming (with my knitting and my pies and my dithering and worrying) and growl about my mawkish sentimentality. Sorry, you'll just have to live with the dreadful fate of being considered an honourary Weasley.
I'm writing this because--well. I hope that I'm wrong, that I will feel very foolish tomorrow for making this entry. If we're extremely lucky, tomorrow we can all count each other as safe, and there will be more eye-rolling at poor silly Molly, who worries so. Go ahead and roll them, if that's the case. I won't mind in the least, I promise you, because I'll be so relieved myself.
But there's a chance that there will be some of you who I will not be able to see tomorrow, or any day in the years to come. Because we know there's a crisis coming, don't we, and it seems very clear that Voldemort intends it to come tonight. I just want to say that for those (oh dear, my eyes are leaking as I write this, how silly)...
For those of you who will no longer be able to read this before the sun rises again--we will not forget you. I will not forget you, if I am blessed to see the sun tomorrow again myself. But if I am not, I want you to know how glad I have been to know you, how very grateful and proud I have been to serve the Order beside you. Thank you.
I do so love you all.
I'm at Moddey Dhoo now. I have left some private letters in Arabella's keeping to be given out afterwards if...if they're needed.
Soon I will go to the staging area, and I'm glad, because it means that I'm not at home to look at the clock.

Private message to Molly Weasley

Date: 2015-05-16 08:35 pm (UTC)Ever since that horrible message has been posted to the journals, I swear I've felt you so close to me that I almost think I can reach out and touch you.
I'm so desperately afraid, but I know you'll be watching over all of us. Perhaps I might be able to hold you in my arms again tomorrow. But if not, if any of them come to join you ahead of me...oh, you'll be there waiting for them, won't you?

I am very happy about you and Ron. And I hope with all my heart that in a few days we'll be able to celebrate it properly.
