To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:

You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it - embraceit.

Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.

Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.


You're amazing, you know that?

You're doing everything to hold everyone else together. And I know you're hating this as much as any of us. And it's killing me I can't talk to you or sit with you or hold onto you. Crikey. I can't even write to you without having someone looking to see what I'm doing.

I got Desai to let me come up to the tower to wash up and change. I'm going to take my time doing it because I need to write to Harry, too. So this still has to be quick.

I'm going to slip out and go to 12GP. Not sure when I'll be leaving yet. I've just talked Ginny into covering for me. She'll need the polyjuice you've got in your bracelet, and she'll probably need the doses Sue's got, too. But not for a while. She's got the share I kept back for Gryffindor to start. She'll let you know when she's me. Look for a signal. I don't know exactly when I'll have to go, but not yet. Not for a while.

Can't tell you more about it.


You know... I'm sorry we didn't go ahead and make a vow with Pansy and Gin witnessing, at least. Wish we had done.

What are you Where are you

Are you coming

Will I see you again?

[alt_ron]

I'm not going yet.

And, yeah. I'll be back down there pretty soon. I mean, I'll let Desai think I fell asleep up here if I stay away long enough she notices. I've got a while yet, and I'm hoping to get a few things worked out with Harry before I come back down.

But no worries. It'll still be me menacing you with my wand and my terrifying look of doom tonight.

[alt_sally_anne]

No, I mean. After you go tomorrow.

[alt_ron]

Don't know.

Honestly, it doesn't seem as if there's much use thinking about it. It's got to be done. And I've got to be the one that does it with him. And that's alright.

I mean, that's why we've done all of it, right? To be ready to do something that'll really make a difference when the time comes. I'd hate if I never had a chance to do anything useful at all.

[alt_sally_anne]

I know.

Come back to me if you can.

I love you.

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

I love you, back. I mean, I love you, too.


I wish we'd gone ahead and made a vow with Gin and Pansy as witnesses. I'm sorry we didn't. And I know it's my fault. It wasn't--

I just was thinking how we should wait until I knew if I'd got into the programme and would have that stipend. Because without it, we'd have to stay with Pansy or my Mum. Which-- yeah, no. Not at the Burrow.

Thing is, I didn't expect any of this. Because now what does it even matter if we'd have no money at all to live on? I mean, we've got until tomorrow night and then that could be it.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well Pansy's right here. If you want to do. I mean, are they watching you so closely that they'll care if you sit down with us for five minutes?

[alt_ron]

Really? You want to?

We'll do it tonight, then.

[alt_sally_anne]

Okay.

Good.

[alt_sally_anne]

Anyway I still don't understand why you thought I'd be worried about money. I mean you've seen where I grew up, my family made yours look like the Malfoys.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, but--

Nevermind. I'm not fighting with you about which of us grew up poorer. That's right out. You're gonna have to do better than that if you want a fight with me.
