I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Neville, are you going to be alright? Is your grandmother going to be able to protect you and Evelyn? You've surely heard -- for the rest of you, there was an article in the Daily Prophet today about Neville's parents. They're alive, apparently, and they're working with Sirius Black (or so the Ministry says -- they found a letter with Sirius Black's things). And Neville has a little brother. A baby who was just born in the last year.

Congratulations about the brother, Neville. I wish there'd been a picture, too, so you could know what he looks like.

I'm worried, though. They thought your parents were dead so there wasn't any reason to

I'm worried about you. Be careful. If they ask you any questions pretend you're a Slytherin when you answer.

Blimey. I can't ask, even hint...I can't even BREATHE anything like that. Do you realise what they'd do to me and Evelyn if they found out she'd been doing anything like that? Much less Gran herself?

They'd send us all off to be punished like--what do they DO to blood traitors, anyway?

You don't want to know. Honest.

You're right. You just can't ask, can you?

[alt_neville]

No. I can't.

They send blood traitors to the camps. With their families.

It would mean all of you. Your Gran, you, Evelyn, and possibly your uncles as well.

It's not going to happen.

It just won't.
