Buckingham Palace

It is ever so lovely.

I really appreciate it and I appreciate being Mr Marvolo's servant here.

This year it is very nice that we have the new suite of rooms. I can serve better that way.

I know that the Lord Protector was reading Mr Marvolo's journal. I know that he probably doesn't read a Mudblood's journal. But if he is reading, thank you, Sire.

Glad to have me back are you?

You don't have to call Father Sire you know.

[alt_hermione]

Sir, I'm sorry, but I think I should, because I call you sir, and I should call your Father Sire, because that's more respectful, and I should be as respectful as ever I can be to him. I mean if I ever were to speak to him which I won't, I mean, I don't, except maybe if he reads my journal.

[alt_harry]

Why are you

Oh come off it Granger.

[alt_hermione]

Yes, sir.

[alt_harry]

I said, come off it!!!

[alt_hermione]

Sir, I am going to come find you. I would like to serve you the best way I can.

ORDER ONLY

[alt_hermione]

He can be such an idiot!!!!!!

I talk to him like normal all the time, but of course I can't talk like that in the journals!!!

And now I have to go talk some sense into him.

[alt_draco]

I think it's good that she's calling Him Sire. But if she's misbehaving otherwise you should see about it in person.

[alt_harry]

She explained herself.

I mean I suppose maybe you're right about Sire. Only it seems weird. But she isn't really misbehaving. She's just being smart.

[alt_draco]

Of course she's being. Ah, really? Good to know, then.

Order Only

[alt_sirius]

All right, Hermione?

Re: Order Only

[alt_hermione]

Yes, only I overheard someone asking Harry whether his Mudblood could read and write at all, because I never write when it's not to you all. I suppose they must watch my journal as well as his. That's very Slytherin, isn't it? But anyhow, I didn't want them to think that I couldn't read or write, I know that's silly, but anyway.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sirius]

I get it.

Listen, if you can get Harry outside, I'll be under the bushes on the southwest corner of the west lawns in about five minutes. Don't mistake me for Snape, right?

Re: Order Only

[alt_hermione]

I'm sure I can. He won't want to talk in his chambers anyway because we all know that someone's probably watching.

Re: Order Only

[alt_alice]

You be careful, love.

Dog or no.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sirius]

Sometimes I think I'm much more careful as Padfoot than not.

Re: Order Only

[alt_frank]

well don't get caught.

hate to have to kick your arse twice.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sirius]

Ta. Once will be more than enough.

Re: Order Only

[alt_frank]

well, yeah, figured as much.

they don't usually come back for seconds.

ORDER ONLY

[alt_alice]

Hermione, has Minerva been by yet with your portkey?

If not, please let us know once you've got it, and if you have any questions as to how it works.

[alt_draco]

I almost forgot you had a journal, Granger, you write in it so little. I suppose you're keeping busy all the time, though, and that's why.

The Lord Protector probably doesn't read your journal, but you never know for sure.

[alt_hermione]

That's true, sir. Mr Marvolo keeps me very busy.

Nobody does, do they?

[alt_draco]

That's right, but it's fairly likely that he reads Harry's, and since you belong to Harry...well, it's possible, isn't it?

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_terry]

Hermione, I'm coming to London!! The Headmistress told me tonight that she's leaving for the city tomorrow, and she's bringing me with her! She said that she's been told she should claim one of the great houses in London, because of her position as Headmistress. I don't think she likes the idea, exactly. She's going to tour the houses they were offering her so she can pick the one she wants, and she wants me to come along (she told me 'you will at least tell me if any of them seem to be monstrosities.' In that sort of peppery way she has, with her mouth turned down at the corner, you know?)

I was so surprised when she told me that I blurted out that I hoped I might have a chance to see you. I was afraid she'd be angry with me, but she acted like it wasn't a strange question at all, and she told me she thought it quite likely. So perhaps we'll have a chance to snatch a few minutes with each other.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_hermione]

I know exactly the kind of way she has. I can't wait! I"m sure she'll do her best for us, really.
