alt_hermioneHello.
I enjoyed talking with you, too.
I'm sorry it took me so long to write back. I wasn't sure it was a good idea at first but then Hydra and Sally-Anne said that was ridiculous, of course it would be all right, so, here I am, writing back. Did you really ask Mrs L about the Order just so you could write to me? I mean, that's flattering but I hope you meant just that you wanted to be included right away and not only to be able to write to me. Because the Order's really important and I'm sure you meant to be part of it anyway, but thank you for saying it was so that we could talk more.
Er. I don't know how often I'll get to Sherwood but you know I've been going with Sirius to teach Potions on Wednesdays at Moddey Dhoo and tomorrow's Wednesday so if you wanted to visit I'd be there. And we could talk more.
About what you said...yes, it's hard to talk to other people about Professor McGonagall for lots of the reasons you mention. People tend to get upset on my behalf if I start talking about what it was like to think of myself as her property, even when I knew she also thought about me as a sort of protegée, too. Almost a daughter, sometimes, although she never really would have wanted to admit that.
And what you said, about losing your master and mistress--that helped. So thank you. They sounded like good people and I'm sorry for your loss, even two years later.
Well, anyway. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow. If you're not busy at Sherwood, that is.
Hermione
P.S. I'm sorry if I sound sillier than you expected. I'm not used to talking to boys. Men. I mean, you're not a boy, exactly, you're--okay, you know I'm really horrible at this so I'm just going to stop now and say I hope I see you because I think talking in person is easier than writing to one another.
P.P.S. Don't worry about Draco or Terry. We're just friends.
