Order Only: Private message to Hermione

[alt_lupin]

You've barely sat down since we heard Voldemort had arrived at Hogwarts. If you're still awake, would you like to join me in the kitchen? I'm making a cup of something soothing (for myself, but you'd be welcome to a cup, too.)

Yes, Sirius has gone to bed and I think he's even asleep.

It has got harder, I think. Possibly because we've had so many opportunities to see the various ways in which things can go instantly pear-shaped.

It helps, doesn't it, to have someone else who understands exactly what we're up against. I mean, Tim did--I mean, he does, in his way, of course, but...it's not personal to him in quite the same manner. He's not seen it close to, you know, up close and constant.

Well, anyway. I'll come down.

No, it wouldn't be. He's not seen it close, and while I'm sure he cared about your friends because you cared about your friends, it's not the same as knowing the people he was fretting about.

I've got a tin of biscuits open, too, if you'd like.
