If you haven't Apparated yet, don't learn this morning. Dolohov's looking for people to all of a sudden 'learn' today. He'll think it's a sign you were secretly working with me and Sue. Which you were, so don't help him figure that out, yeah?

Sorry.

Really sorry.

Noted.

And what's done is done. It's going to be just fine.

I mean, who knows, Seamus might've got special training on the side too.

I guess we've all bee careful about the private messages for a while now, but it's sort of scary to know that they really are reading all of them that closely.

Your Mum found out, didn't she?

(No one ever uses your middle name unless they're really, REALLY cross.)

From:

alt_ron

Yeah.

She totally did.

We were out all afternoon, though, running this mad sort of race to carry courier packets from one place to another and then on to a next and next and next stop. With directions that were full of holes and inaccurate maps. And MLE hunting us. And shrubberies and trees exploding to try to 'kill' us.

So I didn't see Mum's messages until a little while ago. And then I had to go out and stomp around a bit so I wouldn't say something that'd make it all worse. And now Bill's trying to sound like Charlie? Yeah, I don't think I ought to answer him at all. Because one or the other of us will say the wrong thing quicker than you can blink. You can bet on it. I'm just really too tired to deal with family stuff. Especially when it's totally my fault they're cross.

How are you?

From:

Tired. Jeremy and his parents had an enormous row last night and then Gemma got me up too early this morning.

Sorry everyone's cross. It's not like you let anything all that terrible slip, you know? It's not that unusual for people to try to learn Apparation early. If you'd said 'how fortunate we had Sirius Black as a tutor!' you'd have remembered to put THAT under the lock.

What were they rowing about?

Yeah. I would have done. Or, really, I just would never have said anything about him at all this week. I'm seriously paranoid that someone's going to get suspicious about one of us writing under the lock. That's why we're all trying to remember to write plain private messages, you know? But that just makes it more likely I'll slip up.

Ugh. And we're all so tired we're just about falling over.

But it's actually quite a lot of fun, too. Don't tell Justin I said so, though. He's always trying to get Harry and me to play crosswise to the rules Desai and Dolohov give us so the exercises don't run the way they planned. He's the one that sent the galleon message yesterday about stunning each other all at once, so we could all be 'dead' and go back to camp and rest for the remainder of the day. I think he doesn't like that it's all about winning and losing--well, and 'killing' each other. Or maybe he just wants to make things difficult for Professor Dolohov.
