Order Only: Private message to Alice Longbottom and Bill Weasley

Do you know if private messages are still private? The ones not on the Order lock, I mean.

So can you come tomorrow night? Or maybe it would work if Mr Lupin came? To swear her in, I mean.

Or to ask her questions and see if you think it's okay to let her in.

I don't know. How do you usually do this? When Professor Dumbledore swore all of us in he just did it.

[alt_alice]

Yes. I can certainly come.

There's no one way to do this, really. I think it would be best to sit and talk for a little, to make sure she'd be fully on board, but I see no issue with swearing her in at the end of our conversation if she's prepared to move forward.

Good because I think she's ready.

Also, what makes you so sure, with the private messages? Surely they're TRYING to reconstruct an archive to start recording them again.

Bill was involved in the process last time, and as such, has a fairly good idea of how long it takes to set up. Some of the charms are particularly complex, and take a while to complete under the best of circumstances, so we have a rough idea about how long it'll take to get things up and running again.
