Order Only: Private message to Jeremy Stretton and Ron Weasley

[alt_sally_anne]

Since apparently it would have been disastrous to the Order to hold its big meeting AFTER the 17th ... would one of you of-age people like to tell me if anything interesting happens?

(And Jeremy, did someone cast a 'harridan' hex on your mother? she was nasty to Megan, she shouted at Philip about his marks and she just bit Gemma's head off for interrupting her.)

You're not the only one missing, by the bye. Harry and Hermione aren't here. Neither is Hydra.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah well Hydra's hardly surprising. Harry either. And Hermione would need some sort of convincing 'errand' in order to make it.

See, next week would have been better.

[alt_sally_anne]

Um

Did you see Luna's post?

Did you get WANTED FUGITIVE SIRIUS BLACK hustled under a bed somewhere before Ginny Weasley walked in?

[alt_jeremy]

Oh.

Oh dear.

[alt_jeremy]

Sirius is in dog form. (Merlin. I will never get used to that. Animagi are just startling.) So is Terry.

Oh

[alt_jeremy]

RIGHT.

Yeah, this is going to go well.

[alt_jeremy]

How loud do these Weasleys get?

[alt_sally_anne]

Very.

Very, very, very.

[alt_jeremy]

Right.

Weasley yelling. From multiple Weasleys.

Ginny, that's her, right? She's sharp.

She twigged immediately.

Oh, Merlin.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well I think you should just LET HER IN. She signed on to treason when she helped us with that book.

[alt_jeremy]

Right.

Shall I just give her your greetings then?

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah okay you do that.

[alt_jeremy]

Done.

[alt_jeremy]

AND she's recognised the Longbottoms. We're in the cauldron now and that's no lie.

Oh.

Oh, Fu Lee.

[alt_sally_anne]

So everyone ELSE got to meet the muggle who blows things up but not me (or Hydra or Harry or Hermione)?

And now GINNY gets to meet him.

[alt_jeremy]

Fu Lee just waited until there was a pause in the yelling, walked up to Ginny, stuck his hand out, and said "Welcome to the Order."

Man's got ice in his veins.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well it's that or Obliviating her.

[alt_jeremy]

Right.

They're asking her right now.

[alt_sally_anne]

Ginny's not going to say 'oh sure just make me think I went shopping.' No way. Any more than Ron would have EVER IN HIS LIFE.

[alt_jeremy]

Too right.

[alt_jeremy]

Right, then. She's in.

Everyone here taking break for tea, calming draughts, side conversation, eyerolling and whatever.
