Order Only: Private message to Padfoot : comments [Remus Lupin]

Now, that's an unsettling thought.

His father might be an ineffective, effete, inept fool, but his aunt is a powerful Legilimens.

And I've got no confidence that Draco could keep his emotions in check if his life depended on it. Or Harry's, even.

Oh, all right. That's not quite fair. As far as we know, he's not told anyone about what happened last June.

But -

Well, I know he hates me but he stays quiet because he cares about Harry. Still.

Nope, don't trust him.

You might not trust him, but you've entrusted him with some thoroughly sensitive information. And gambled that his father's position will protect him from any casual prying from his aunt.

I didn't trust him with it. I thought he was unconscious, last year. Then Harry brought him along and made it clear that the little ferret knew all about me. Hermione swears no one told him, so he must not have been as thoroughly knocked out as we thought.

And believe me, the thought is not encouraging.

I suppose you didn't deliberately entrust him with it.

But he's kept your secret, all the same. Even though he loathes you.

Bellatrix doesn't know you're an animagus. Draco could not only tell her you're an animagus, he could tell her exactly what you transform into.

Yeah. Unfortunately Hermione and Harry wouldn't let me Obliviate him. I know why they'd have hated it, but I'd've felt more comfortable.

Well. I suppose you've got a point. Maybe there's more of Andi and Dora in him than I want to give him credit for.

That reminds me -- we should invite Hydra to tea. Spring hols! She could come and meet Bea.

[link] [parent] [reply]

You and Dora will be the death of me. You know that, right?

Well. Why not? Provided Dora can get her to talk about Justin.

[link] [parent] [reply]

If there's one child at the school that I think we can safely assume does NOT know about Terry and Hermione's wands, it would be Hydra LeStrange. I rather get the impression her mother views the inside of her head as her personal property. Bella's property, I mean.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Agreed, which is why I think inviting her to tea is probably not a good idea.

But I can see I'm to be overruled, anyway, by Dora if not you, so. I suppose Padfoot will simply have to endure it.

Just be sure we move a few things back into the kitchen so it looks like we take more than lunch over there.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Good idea.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Harry, too, for that matter.

It's striking to me, I guess. How many of our secrets are being faithfully kept by children. Some of whom could benefit immeasurably if they turned on us -- but they don't. Because loyalty to their friends outweighs loyalty to the regime.

Despite everything.

[link] [parent] [reply]

All of which means we'd best get a move on and win this bloody war. How many of them can really stand up to the sort of pressure Voldemort can devise?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Mmm.

Hopefully we've got a few years before he realises any of them could possibly pose any sort of threat.
