I find that the evening we stay up late for Astronomy is usually a very productive time to get homework done. I think it helps that I have this long, uninterrupted time and don't have to think, 'should I leave off and go to bed?' since I have to stay up late anyway.

It's awfully chilly out tonight.

I don't even know what to say about yesterday other than thank you to all the people who try to keep us safe. I think all of us really do appreciate all your work and efforts. I know that sometimes you might not be planning to work (you might be visiting a sick friend, for instance) but when you're called you go and do your best. Sometimes, probably, no one even hears about it, but other times it makes all the difference in the world.

Merlin.

It's the right decision.

Of course it is. Ugh, when I read that, I yelped out loud, I was so shocked. But of course it's what you all have to do. I understand your reasoning, I do. I just--

Merlin, I wish you didn't have to resort to this!

The Order talked, at the last meeting, about getting you help. With Occlumency. So that will lower the risk for all of you. And they will do everything they can to help you if you ever get into a tight spot, of course they will.

I hope by--by everything--that you'll never, never, never have to use them.

And I'm so...well. So proud of you, that you've been careful and cautious enough to get them ready. And bloody impressed.

Do you think...do you think you could make one and send it to me, too? I wouldn't have to wear it, as long as I'm here. But I might not always be. I might end up having to go out for missions for the Order, once I'm older. It would be reassuring. If I had an out.

I hope that the portkey problem gets solved, and I'll never need it. But in case it doesn't...I'd be proud to wear a ring like all the rest of you.

You aren't going to need it soon, are you?

I'm not sure. I've been thinking of applying to move at least part of the time to another location, which is much less secure. But I'd need to talk to some people first, and think about it more.

But that wouldn't be right away. I'd have several weeks lead time.

Because it would be a lot easier to wait, and try to set up a meeting this summer? Or maybe spring hols, if there's time. If the Twins could pick you up and bring you somewhere.

Because

1. I'd need some of your blood to make the ring
2. There's a spell you have to cast on it to make it work properly and I'd want to show you, not try to explain in a letter
3. I'd want you to be able to test it out so you knew the spell had it working
4. Which means I couldn't give it to you with the venom IN it and getting the venom in is tricky.

Anyway this would all be easy enough if I were going to see you in person.

Spring hols would probably be fine. And it would be good to see you again, too. Thanks, Sally-Anne.

Would you maybe prefer a bracelet? Dogs don't exactly have fingers but they do have wrists, and the rings self-adjust, so you could have one that worked whether you were in dog form or human form.
