Order Only

All right. So... no one's hurt. We're all back in common rooms, and Himself's off with a bunch of the teachers, having a firewhiskey or playing Snap or whatever evil gits do after a feast and a fighting demo.

It was... not what I expected. At all. I mean, who knew He's ever in a decent mood?

I mean, for a bloke who doesn't look physically capable of smiling, He looked next thing to cheerful tonight.

Sleep is one of those rare commodities, what. Like mercy or justice.

Still, you're right.

Dash it.

My advice? Open the scotch.

I've tried that before, or don't you remember? No, I don't bally well fancy taking refuge in drink. Not entirely sure I'd stop, despite the dreadful headache next morning. And I've a feeling we'll need our wits tomorrow, what.

I'll settle eventually. Somewhere I've a jolly boring book on a wizard who spent an entire year watching switchgrass grow. Even Linus Moon would be nodding off after two pages!

Oh, and Antonin said: His favour is difficult to quantify, impossible to predict, and unfathomable to analyse -- that being part of the reason I have avoided calling you to His further attention; as I mentioned a week or two ago, I have come to believe you lot deserve a few years to explore adulthood without the weight of His gaze upon you. But He did seem quite pleased with you and Mr Weasley both, and that is something of which you ought to be proud. Our Lord is many things, among them a quite capable judge of talent.

Which is rather no help at all, is it.

Oh, thanks, mate. Just the news to help with sleeping.

You know what? Send the scotch up to us if you're not going to drink it yourself. We're all awake up here. Finnigan, Harry and I. A right party.


Or, yeah. Nevermind about that.

We'll figure it out on our own.
