Order Only: Private message to Hydra, Sirius, and Alice

[alt_lupin]

Should we have a funeral this afternoon?

Or wait until tomorrow?

Just so long as it's not after sundown tonight

I could -- arrange things.

Thank you.

No, don't thank me.

Listen: I ... might not be back. I mean, I don't -

Your mother and mine had so many things in common. One important difference, though, is that your mother is all lies, deceit and pollution. Everything she is, everything she has ever done, has been calculated to hurt.

Mine may have been a toxin, but she wasn't wrong when she told me that I am, too. I have so many things to regret, Hydra, but chiefest is that I have failed to protect my loved ones. Every. Single. One.

So don't thank me. It's quite literally the least I can do. It's also the best thing I can possibly think of to do.

You're going to protect me. You're going to be the one who does it.

And I'm thanking you now, because - just in case.
