Order Only

[alt_lupin]

We need to meet.

It should be after the 28th, but before all our Hogwarts staff and student members are once again bound by their commitments at the school -- so, before the 5th (and probably best before the 4th, maybe even the 3rd.)

We'll host at 12GP. Who can come, and which days work (or don't work) for you? (Obviously, the 28th is completely impossible, both for Bill, and for me.)

Private message to Poppy and Pomona

[alt_lupin]

Sirius and I were wondering if by any chance you could ensure that Albus attends the meeting. We're not overly fussy about which hexes you use to get him there.

He should bring his Pensieve. So that other people can view Bill's memory.

Also, do you think there's any chance you could dry Minerva out before the meeting? It would be nice if she were at least coherent. I realise this may be asking rather a lot.

You do think highly of our skills, Remus. Some of us have less practice with tweaking the nose of authority than you do. (And did not start nearly so young, either.)

Look, I'll find time to talk to Poppy, and we'll see if we can come to any useful conclusion. But I'm making no promises. On either count.

Consider it done.

If I have to body-bind him and bring him side-along, I will. Pomona will see to the Pensieve, if it comes to that.

There were a bunch of the folk from the reserve at Dad's the funeral, and they let me know they've all banded together and arranged things amongst themselves so that my shifts are covered until the second week in January at least so I can be home to help Mum while all the rest are home from Hogwarts. So any time that suits should work for me.

Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Dora,

Thought you ought to know that we plan to nominate you as our new fearless leader.

It's between you and Alice, love, so if you've strong opinions (either way), or if you two can't decide between you, we thought we'd make you both wrestle for it. In oil. Or jelly. Haven't decided yet.

If nothing else, you'd be doing the Weasleys a service. Well, and Frank. (And all of us, really.)

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_nymphadora]

Listen, you. If I thought slicking myself with oil was what you were wishing for, I'd have...

No. Sorry, luv. Not doing it for you or any of the other blokes. I've got enough to be going on with without worrying whether I'll be able to clean the oil out of my wrestling kit.

And, look, it's sweet of you, but honestly, I don't believe for a minute that's how it will turn out, so I'm not going to worry that it'll end up being me. Could it help us get Alice through the voting, though? If you think it's a strategic thing, then I won't speak against you if you put my name in.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Oh, no, not you, kiddo. The point (for me) is to see Alice in her cozzy. (Not that some of the other blokes would mind, either way). But, since you object, no oil.

Jelly?

And yeah, it's not all in jest, dearheart. You came up with the beer garden. You've been the one pushing to get into the camps and contact people. You made our introduction to Beth. Don't sell yourself short: You've got a head for ways to make a difference.

Still, it's true what we need most is someone to come up with more of a master strategy. Wish James were around to do it. I do think Alice is our best option, for loads of reasons. Maybe I can have a word with her before the floor opens to nominations. I'm only worried about her juggling Moddey, Frank and the rest of the Order. To be honest, I'm mostly worried about her juggling Frank and the rest of the Order. But then again, Arthur's death aside, he's been doing better.

Hate the thought of seeing him as badly off as Minerva, though. Nor of Alice having to deal with it.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_lupin]

Really, the Order ought to have two functioning co-heads. Maybe we should push for Alice AND Dora.

And yeah. I agree about Frank's drinking. It's not a big problem, yet, but Minerva's wasn't a big problem, yet, years ago. Though I think it was more Lucius bloody Malfoy who drove her to it than the lot of us.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_nymphadora]

You know how to build a girl up, you do. Ta, luv.

I don't know who I'll put in for yet. I might vote for Snape just to see the look it would put on both your face and his when they announce he got a vote in his favour.

Re: Private Message to Dora

[alt_sirius]

Seeing as there was no possible way to answer that wouldn't get me thwapped on the nose with the Sunday edition of the Prophet, I thought I'd go for the truth. Told you before, you're well attractive, but would you really want me ogling you in your knickers? Didn't think so.

And since you're totally uncooperative in helping me achieve a teenage fantasy, perhaps I'll just support Moony's idea and we'll make sure it's a tie between you and Allie, and you'll have to share the rule of us all.

[alt_alice]

Of course.

We'll be there, and bring along Stephen and Arabella.

I'm assuming this is a closed meeting -- so I won't extend an invitation to Davidson unless I hear a general consensus otherwise.

Thank you, Remus.
