Thanks.

For not talking.

Being out there.

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

It wouldn't have mattered to the people who died. Someone else would have killed them.

It would have mattered to you.

But then you wouldn't have been able to be an Auror. And we'd have lost that.

That's the thing.

I can't be an Auror who doesn't train and doesn't follow protocol and doesn't... do the off-book things they all do. If I want to be inside, I have to actually be that.

I guess, the thing is, I really think it's important to do it. Whatever it means I have to do. Because if we can win, then it can stop. We can change the laws and purge MLE and put people in front of the Wizengamot for what they've done. Including me, maybe. But we can change it all. And Charlie's kid won't have to live-

Sorry. That's-

Y'know?

[alt_harry]

Yeah, I know.

[alt_harry]

I'll be damned if you're ever in front of the Wizengamot for any reason other than receiving the Order of Merlin, though.
