Right.

I know we're all shocked, and sad, and horrified, and afraid.

But for those of you who are not fugitives already:

Maintain your cover. Keep to your routines. Trust in your occlumency. The Order cannot function as an entirely underground organisation. Neville did this to protect us; trust in his gift and his sacrifice. 

When Filius Flitwick set up the false Hogwarts book, the one that allowed us to conceal the births of muggleborn infants, Savitha Desai caught him on his way back out. They duelled, and she hit him with the entrail-expelling curse. I think Flitwick probably failed deliberately to parry what he knew would be a fatal curse, to avoid being taken alive and questioned.

Minerva, Poppy, and Pomona could not for even an instant reveal their grief and horror. Especially Minerva, who wore the Dark Mark. Minerva had to smile at Desai, praise her skill, step over the blood of her murdered friend, and go about her day.

Those of us in the Order at the time honored Filius's sacrifice and carried on the work he'd died to make possible.

You can all do the same.

Well, I'm at Spence. Not quite as safe as 12GP but no one's got any reason to suspect me of anything more than wanting to be kind to my good friend Hydra. And this lovely house is owned by my good friend Daphne. Nothing to see here!

Well, good.

I'm still expecting for there to be a knock on my door at any minute.

We should check up on Artemus and Katrina tomorrow. Without making it obvious, of course.

If I'm two seconds from running to Moddey and screaming 'sanctuary,' I can't imagine they're going to sleep a wink tonight. And everyone knows how close they are to Ev.

Oh, Padfoot.

What they did to Neville. What Hydra had to do.

Why did we let them join

Yes. Merlin, I hope we can make the sacrifices worth it.

Sometimes I wonder how many their generation are going to have to give up any hope of being able to enjoy the world they're helping to create.

Tonight I was making a list. In my head.

Couldn't stop myself.

Which of them I think are the least likely to ever see another world.
