ORDER ONLY

[alt_nymphadora]

Merlin, my legs are sore. Anyone need a bloke who can run them ragged and make them regret all those hours spent eating sweets on the sofa? Because Frank Longbottom's rather good at it.

Oh, and Alice, my first field Fidelius worked like a charm, as it were. The Knights send their thanks and regards. Pulled it off without a hitch, and can't wait to do more.

I'm working on my 'I'm a member of the Order' bit. Let me know if there's anything that you lot think needs saying, ey?

I'll look it over for you when you're done with it, if you'd like. Not that I don't think you'll do fine with it, just that sometimes it's nice to have another pair of eyes.

Yes please!

I'm hoping a bit of humour won't entirely go amiss. We'll see.

Private Message to Hydra

Wotcher, Cousin Hydra.

Barty Crouch can be a bit of a handful sometimes, can't he?

I remember one time, he decided to spend an entire dinner discussing my rather extensive disappointments. He wasn't done by the time we'd finished eating, so he carried it over into coffee and dessert. I'm quite surprised he didn't immortalise the speech in needlepoint and have it framed so I could revisit it from time to time and be reminded of his wit and wisdom.

I'd bet a knut I managed to frustrate the hell out of him, though, so I suppose it all evened out after a fashion.

I'm very glad you're out of the hospital wing, by the way. Gave me a bit of a fright, there.

I know you're most likely sick and tired of people asking you if you're all right and expecting an answer, so I won't add to the heap. If you ever are in the mood for a chat, though, I'm all ears.

Love,

Cousin Dora

Yes, he is good at taking measure of my disappointments, as well. Though he is more inclined to make me point them out for him.

I don't mind it so much. When he does it I can tell it's out of a desire to see me succeed, rather than an expectation that I will fail.

Though I suppose that wasn't his intent with you.

Anyway I'm feeling fine and you can tell everyone so.

Shall.

And I suppose if I'm charitable, and squint a bit, he did have a sense of responsibility and duty, and was trying, it was just based on the idea that I was wrong to begin with and needed fixing.

I'm glad you don't mind it terribly.

I'm afraid my stubbornness would get the best of me more often than not and then I'd open my gob and tell him what I thoght, and then that'd just confirm what he already expected.

Got the stubbornness from my mum. The gob part was all dad, though.

Excellent news about your success with the charm!

I've collected several more requests for our budding Fidelius service. One in Derbyshire, one outside Norwich, and two near Lincoln. I'll stop by tomorrow and share details and coordinates with you--unless you're planning to be at Moddey instead of Grimmauld?

Alice, I've several messages to deliver to you from today's expedition. I'll look for you after supper.
