ORDER ONLY

[alt_lupin]

Bloody hell, Frank! I hope whatever you've said in that message is sufficiently important to warrant the massive risk that Harry's going to see it too and tell one of his many protectors that his personal servant is in contact with a dangerous outlaw.

If you've put Hermione in danger .. God help you.

I know it's unnerving, but it's really all right, Remus. I've examined and exhaustively tested the underlying spell architecture. The 'Order Only' designation is built into the root of the spell architecture to supercede everything else. But the bloody Ministry set up the so-called 'mudblood' parameters so that the journal spell fills in a muggleborn's master's name sutomatically; there's no way around it. But Marvolo won't see it.

Thank you, Bill.

didn't mean to worry you man. figured the kid could use a little privacy from time to time, yeah?

and I also figured it wouldn't be a security risk, because of what bill said -- no way Harry could read anything under the lock even if it was a message directed to him -- but can't tell if she can read it yet.

Sorry, Frank. I think with all the danger Hermione's been in this week, I may possibly have overreacted slightly. I know you'd never put her in danger really.

No, Remus.

I'm very glad you asked the question. I'd have asked myself if I'd seen it before now.

I distrust the way these spells interact. The very fact that the Private Message spell insists on the master's inclusion makes me worry that it could make the Order spell unstable.

I do trust Bill to have thoroughly tested it, of course, so I'll hope for the best. I suppose we'll have to wait now and see it put to the test.

no worries man. I know were all on edge with this latest news about snape.
