Order Only Private Message to Harry Potter and Justin Finch-Fletchley

Thanks.

For not talking.

Being out there.

For the brandy, too. Only reason we're not frozen, I guess.

Exactly, Ron. They're not asking us to do it, but what alternatives are there?

I did think of something that might help us all to cope, though. I suggested it to Hydra, that we meet regularly to chat and stay up to date on each other's--well, each other's progress, if you follow me.

Muggles have programmes for addicts, where they sit round and confess things to one another. Ways they've strayed off their path, or desires they have to behave poorly. They encourage each other to stay the course, and remind one another of their goals to keep away from drugs or stealing or whatever it is that plagues them.

We could arrange something of that sort, what. Where we talk to one another, in person, once a week or so. Without judging one another, but to remind each other of the people we want to be, and not the people we're becoming.

Are you thinking just you, Ron, and Hydra? Or a larger group?

[alt_justin]

All the Order Juniors here at Hogwarts. All of us who are still under cover, as it were.

Well it's not as if we'll be giving up doing anything.

Really, they sit around and confess stuff to each other?

[alt_justin]

There's rather more to it than that, I think, but it's not as if I've been to anything like it. I've seen a few films with depictions, what.

Well, sure, we could do that. If you think it would help you, and Hydra, especially.

We could meet in the Secret Room.
