Yeah, I'm really not sure how I became agony aunt to an entire cohort of teens. I'll just blame Reg and leave it at that. Not like he's going to argue the point.

But between you and me, I'm not so sure about the precedent saving her mother might set. I mean to say, it's all very well for Sherwood to use each other's connections to help set up escapes and identify people they want to help. But I start to see the method in Beth's decidedly more random selection process. If we start helping every person who's ever been acquainted with Terry, Pansy, Neville, etc., how long will it take for someone to notice? Even with Poppy, Pomona, Minerva and yes, all right, I'll say it, Snivellus up at Hogwarts to help create smokescreens, it starts to worry me a little.

Anyway. Coming to bed soon? I'm staying up here and getting some sleep. It'll be an early start in the morning.
