Order Only

I'm bringing Justin back to the apparation point outside the Hogwarts gates can someone please meet us

Where are you? Are you awake?

Please be awake.

I was working on some bookkeeping, and just utterly nodded off.

Sirius raised an alarm?

What is it? What happened to Justin? Are you all right?

Justin's dead.

And I

Dolohov wrote to me and said that he and Justin were both gravely wounded and if I healed him he'd give me Justin and the passwords to Buckingham and he'd leave Britain and never come back or raise his wand against the Order and so I went and I healed Dolohov. He would have died, if I'd refused, but then Justin would have, too.

But Justin would have thought that was worth it. And I wasn't even able to save him. It wasn't Dolohov who'd cursed him, it was Bellatrix. There wasn't anything I could do, or anyone could do.

And I don't know how much trouble I'm in, yet.

I didn't talk to anyone before I went. Because I knew they wouldn't let me go. So.

Justin

right.

I'll bring us some firewhiskey and we'll wait up for Ron and we'll see

We'll see after Hydra.

If she'll let us.

And if she won't, then I'll see after you, and we'll sort out the trouble part tomorrow.

When I went, it seemed so clear that this was the only thing I could do. The only thing that made sense. Only now

When I got to Justin the first thing he asked was, 'did you kill him?' He'd have preferred I leave him to die, if it meant Dolohov died with him. Even if I could have saved him.
