Order Only: Hydra and Auror Lestrange

[alt_hermione]

Hydra just came and asked me to follow her wearing Harry's cloak. She said Elise Urquhart came into the common room just now and told her that her mother's here to speak to her and she needed to come with her, and Hydra said she asked if she could put her books in her dormitory and Elsie said yes but to be quick about it, but instead she came and found me and asked me to go get Harry's cloak right away and to catch up as quickly as ever I could.

So that's what I'm doing. I'm sure it's to do with what happened on the 1^st, with Justin and all.

I'll keep everyone posted.

Well, fortunately, all the bits of furniture Sirius smashed this afternoon are in the cellar at 12GP. We can have it properly broken into kindling before any guests arrive for Easter Hols (did we ever work out where we were meeting?) and no one will feel raged-at.

I don't think this was a lack of trust. I think this was embarrassment, on the part of Justin and Hydra, and misplaced solidarity on the part of the rest of them. It wasn't actually ORDER BUSINESS and therefore no one felt that it was required.

Mortal danger to an Order member is always Order business. Even if they're not in trouble because of Order activities.

It was needing to be done. At least when I rampage, it's targetted at something useful.

I can't believe those two. No, what I can't believe is how they've been able to absolutely charm everyone so far into helping them cover up for their affair.

Merlin, why couldn't they have just waited for two years?

Perhaps they didn't think they had two years to wait.

That doesn't mean I'm not still furious, mind. Or making excuses. It was ridiculously stupid of them.

I'll have that final two sentences done up in needlepoint on my wall.

It's a good way of thinking about things. When we've all had time to lick our respective wounds, I'll say as much, and hope the message sinks in.

These young people are under such incredible pressure, and have significant (and adult) responsibilities and burdens. They expect our respect and trust, and rightfully so. We also hold them to an extraordinarily high standard. I suppose this took me by surprise because it demonstrates such immaturity and a shocking lack of judgement, but it's just part of the package, isn't it? They haven't had the benefit of decades of life experience.

But these are dangerous times, and there are certain mistakes we simply cannot afford to repeat.
