Re: Private Message to Harry

You know, as far as Draco goes, you have to be the one to talk to him. I mean, you have to make sure he can understand this lock and what it means to the people here, and that he won't--won't offend them when he's finally able to read things. Because I know he won't betray the group but he can be just as abrasive as Zabini when he's feeling nasty. And that wouldn't be good.

We've just had our third Apparation lesson and no one's been able to move so much as an eyebrow. They told us to come down and set the table for lunch, since everyone's knackered from trying. Ron looks like he's going to burst a blood vessel in his forehead, he's been concentrating so hard. I don't think I've ever seen him so focused.

Anyway. See what you can do with Draco and maybe this weekend we can break things to him. Oh, and you're coming with me to Laszlo's on Sunday, remember, for tea? Not going racing with the Quidditch side.

Okay. I'll try.

Uh.

What sort of things do you think I could say that would help? Without, you know, telling him about the lock?

And I remember about Sunday. I mean, of course I do. It's Sirius. I wouldn't forget that.

Well, you could sound him out more, I think. Draco doesn't much care to be told what to think or what to do, so maybe if you asked him more questions about what he does think, and then you could use that to talk about what other people might think. Like whether muggleborns should be allowed to learn magic or whether it would be all right to help muggles to escape, or even smaller things like whether halfbloods should really be fostered. Things like that.

Or you could ask his opinion of the people on the ISS lock without telling him that they're part of a secret group.

Okay.

Maybe I could start with the galleon. Like what people have been saying on it. And how being able to talk about things in private is important, even if you don't agree with what other people say all the time. And go from there about what he thinks.
