You're right, of course, Alice. I am trying to respect her choices, especially on something so personal as her own name, but it just doesn't seem appropriate to call a young woman by her surname. Perhaps I'm just getting old, hm?

It makes me a little nervous too, but I think if he'd recognised me, I'd be long gone by now, so that's some small comfort.

Please tell Ian I shall look forward to receiving his card, but that there's really no need to worry. Everything is very well set up here. It's not Moddey Dhoo, but it's certainly secure enough.

Well, I'm glad to hear that! I'll certainly tell him as such, although I know he'd adore a note from you if you can spare it.

And you'd better watch it with the "getting old" talk! After all, if you're getting old, and I was old enough to be your Prefect, where does that leave me?

I'll certainly do my best to pop a note through for Ian.

You know I age in dog years, Alice, whereas you will be 17 forever, at least in my eyes.

You're sweet.

And as far as Tonks is concerned, she did help Arthur with Dean Thomas's paperwork, which was an enormous risk, and hasn't yet breathed a word, so we know she can keep a secret. She writes regularly to Sirius, which shows her sympathies. And she wants to be known by her Muggleborn father's last name, which also lets me know where her heart lies.

I'm not sure of everyone else's thoughts on the matter, but I think that if you trust her, Sirius trusts her, and Arthur's got a good feeling about her too, that's good enough for at least a trial interview I should think. If it doesn't look like she's up for it, you can back off now without too much danger.

And I'd rather break her into the group gently, in a controlled sort of way, rather than wait until an emergency arises, tell her the lot right then and there, and have to trust that she'd do the right thing.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right, of course. It would be far better to ease her in gently, if indeed we do decide to pursue it further.
