Oh, well done, Ron. Oh, it's such a relief that we still can check the book for names.

Thank you and bless you for getting those names for us. I'm so proud of you, son.

I know your father would be, too.

[alt_ron]

Thanks, Mum.

[alt_kingsley]

Nymphadora, eh?

Seems as though our Nymphadora has some fans.

Things are hectic, but I think I'll be able to break away to bring in at least a couple this week. Tonks, do you want to come along to fetch your namesake, or do you want to do that with Remus?

(Bill, we'll need the parchment work).

[alt_bill]

On it. I've managed to create some ties with a couple new forgers, very good ones, too, so it'll be speedier than usual.

(Thanks for the names, Ron and Harry.)

[alt_nymphadora]

Poor kid! I suppose I'll have to call dibs on picking her up.

[alt_rachel]

Sounds like you may have an easier time convincing those parents to trust you than we usually have.

[alt_nymphadora]

True!

[alt_charlie]

I'll come along with you on that one, if you want the company.

[alt_nymphadora]

Ta very much, you.

It's a bit mad, innit?

If there were any justice, there would be loads upon loads of Arthurs. And at least a Charlie or two, as well!

[alt_charlie]

I'm sure that once this is all over and people start hearing about all the things we've done, there will be!

Anyway. I'll do some shift swapping around here and see if I can get some time off. I'll let you know.

Also, I was conspiring with Sirius and Remus a little while back for them to watch the offspring for a night so I could kidnap you for a relaxing getaway, but then the whole thing with the Goblins happened and I needed to use all my time away for that. But let's say fuck it to being responsible for an evening.

Hell, I could see if I could trade around for Beltane eve and Beltane off and we could go celebrate. Although this time, let's do it without the strange ancient magic joining us, ta very much.

[alt_nymphadora]

Ooooooooh.

It has been a good while, hasn't it? And yes, babies can be sort of all-consuming sometimes, and World's-best-da Charlie is all sorts of lovely, but the other one is rather nice too, really.

Yes please.

Re: Private message to Tonks

[alt_charlie]

Right, then, I'll trade some favours and figure out when I'm kidnapping you to have my nefarious way with you. I'm a bit tired out, though, so you'll probably have to conspire in your own kidnapping. Too messy otherwise.

Up to you if you want the first round of massage in order to be nice and relaxed, or if you want to bang on my shoulders to get the knots out first so I can rub the cramps out of your fingers later.

Re: Private message to Tonks

[alt_nymphadora]

Oh, I'll be perfectly capable of self-kidnapping, believe me.

Banging first, relaxing later sounds rather delicious all round.

Re: Private message to Tonks

[alt_charlie]

You said it, I didn't!

Private Message to Ron

[alt_justin]

Ron,

I say, at least there are names in the book. I feel jolly well awful that it's gone so long, what, but Professor Dolohov leaving anyone alone in his office is extremely rare.

It must feel quite gratifying to be able to do something useful. Compared to the sorts of jobs usually relegated to us, anyway. Still, that's rather the point of what we're doing, isn't it, being able, once in a great while, to be in the right place at the right time.

I'm well glad Harry thought to bring you along.

-Justin

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Too right, it's good to have something useful to do.

As for leaving us alone, he made rather a show of it, so it's not as if this was any kind of accident or stroke of luck.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_justin]

A show.... I say, it does make one wonder how committed he is to all the ideals of the Protectorate. Some of them, certainly, but no more than, say, Draco's parents. They've been convinced to work alongside us, in their way. I wish one could be more positive that Antonin would aid us more directly if he were given the chance.

The problem is I can't think of how to provide the opportunity without putting us all at great risk, if we're wrong.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Yeah, I think the thing is you can't.

Only, you can work on building as much credit with him as possible--doing what you've been doing, yeah?--and if there's ever a chance to put him in your debt, snatch it. And then go about your business, knowing that maybe, sometime it'll all pay a dividend when you really need that. Or it won't. And if it doesn't, well. You're no worse off that you'd have been if you'd never had a connection with him. Course, if it does pay off, then it'll have been worth it.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_justin]

Worth it. Yes.

Quite right, old man. No worse off, indeed.
