I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

Hiya.

What are you doing? I'm in my room since Mum seemed in a mood to talk, and I didn't really want to answer a whole load of questions. I think she caught Ginny instead.

Anywiz. I miss you.

Yeah. I know, I just left there--how long ago?--an hour and a half? But, y'know.

I wish I didn't always have to come home.


So what are you doing?

Yeah, that's a good point.

Anyway the other thing is just -- it's really soon. It's been so long I've felt like I would be stuck with the Strettons FOREVER. But I'm turning 17 this spring, it's not nearly so far away now.

Which is good, because spending spring hols with Pansy (and going to 12GP for lessons) was brilliant.

I might miss Gemma.

And I need to talk to Maureen.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. I wondered if you were going to say you wanted to stay at the Strettons until you and Jeremy can figure out how to get Maureen away from there. And maybe some of the others. You really think their farms are just too big for the Order to take over?

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah.

Jeremy just makes things complicated.

I am almost positive Maureen will go, if I offer to help her get away and tell her I know a place where she could go.

I just don't know about Jeremy.

And it's not the size of the estates, it's that MLE might ask me questions about it. There are other farms. Going after the one owned by my foster family right now is a risk that's easy to avoid.

[alt_ron]

Can't argue with that.
