I'm not even sure how to start or what to say, except thank you for your trust, and thank you for giving me a chance to be useful.

I've started reading things. There's rather a lot to take in, before I say much else.

I'm sorry about Percy.

Private Message to Siz

[alt_cedric]

I didn't know when I told you about Sarah. All I knew was that Harry had "people". I wish I hadn't, but I had no way to know how far Harry's connections ran and how incredibly dangerous they were. It just shows how dangerous people with a little bit of knowledge can be.

You'll get back to it, but we saved Selwyn's kids as well.

Would you like me to come by some evening this week to talk? I found it helpful to read with someone talk to and yell at. I won't add my standard "don't read before bed, because you won't sleep" because well I know your schedule.

It was a very odd conversation last night, because Remus wouldn't tell me the bits that would have made it easy to decide until after I took the oath.

Glad I did, though. Just. There is an awful lot there. I read back to May, and I think I need to start over and be systematic, really or it'll drive me up a wall. Arista and Hector. Discovering Draco's not actually dead.

Some evening this week would be good, please. Mum's coming tonight, because (as she says) I know a bunch of you better than she does, and she needs a map to sort out who's who, and at least I can do most of that for her? (And there's that very useful set of meeting minutes from a few weeks back, so I can at least figure out enough of the names, yeah?) Wednesday, maybe?

And well, no. The sleep. Sort of good you all decided now, really. No one's going to fuss if I'm keeping an odder than usual schedule at the moment.

They did tell you about "Brutka", I assume?

Re: Private Message to Siz

Right. Done writing to very complicated people. (What do you think of the Longbottoms? Alice and Frank, I mean. I just. There's the history with Raz, and yet things before that, and I don't even know where to start.)

Um. What Remus told me.

Brutka, yes. Which makes a few things make rather a lot make more sense now. Alastor Moody (also that they've stopped giving him a veto on members, and I probably won't hear much from him anyway.) Draco, and how they made that work. Muggleborns. With wands. The names of the members still at school, so I'd be able to help if I had to there.

And he had rather a lot of questions about Tosha, which is complicated all over.

We left it at my going and reading things. Which I'm working on.

Alice is very sensible. She pulls back some the wilder and overly messy plans of others. I've liked working with her.

Frank. I've trained with Frank some, when I can make the time to get to Moddey Dhoo with the others who are out of school. What happened at Saltash messed him up emotionally as well as magically. I don't know how much, but enough that an outsider can tell. He talked a lot about training until you can instinctively make good choices in combat. How Auror's trained in the old days. He doesn't like talking about his combat experiences and he never talked directly about Raz. He let bits and pieces slip about old battles while talking about evaulating the terrain or making choice based on who you are fighting. He reminds me a lot of Raz.

Working for Dolohov is very complicated. Has he said anything to you about what he does on Fridays?

Wednesday should work.

Right. Alice was a prefect, in the sett. My first year, her last. So I knew her - and liked her, then. Just there's the time since then.

I can see that. Raz didn't much like talking about the war unless it had a purpose in teaching. I never have cared much for the people who bragged about what they did.

No, on the Fridays. Just, it's clear he really doesn't like it. And that he hasn't told me is - well, telling. Listening to the spaces.
