Order Only Private Message to Sally Anne and Justin Finch-Fletchley

[alt_ron]

Sorry I didn't write last night. I came home and had to answer all Mum's questions and then I went upstairs to change and fell asleep. I mean totally asleep for the night.

It's not like they even made me do anything yesterday. It was just filling out loads of forms--that took all morning between listening to all the instructions for every question and switching to all the different special inks they make you use for different forms--and listening to all the rules and laws and protocols and chain of command details that I'd already promised to follow in all those forms. And then I got a tour.

That's it. Oh, and I got a badge.

Today I get introduced to all the Auror units and learn what they do. And then Desai's going to take me down to the sparring dungeons to see what I can do.

So, yeah. Hope you did alright yesterday, both of you.

Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

Sorry I didn't call last night. I told Mum I'm going to go to the Strettons after work, so I'll see you then.

Mum's really been better about it than I thought she'd be. So far.

I've got to get going, I guess. At least Desai didn't want me to come for any of the early morning sparring they all do. I've just got to be there by eight, but there's always a jam up for the Floos, so yeah. Got to start a bit early.

See you tonight. After Mrs S closes things down for the night, probably, since I expect it's still mad, isn't it?. Anywiz, before you go to Pansy's. I want to give you your present.

With all the extra help I might be done at almost a civilised hour tonight. I have a present for you, too -- actually I made a basket for your family, I'm just going to drop that off sometime today with my other deliveries, probably, but I don't want to leave your present on your kitchen table with the pineapple.

Wait I just realised that wasn't clear.

I have a basket that's a present for All the Weasleys and I'm going to drop it off sometime today.

I also have a present that's specifically for YOU and I don't want to leave it with the basket. Because I want to explain

Anyway I'll see you later, don't fall asleep tonight! I want to see you!

Ron,

I say, mine was much the same! Tonnes of policies to read, a tour, introductions to loads of people whose names I can barely remember today and then I was put to some filing. Do you suppose they have a manual for orienting new interns that all departments follow?

I'm well curious to see what this place is like when it's not a holiday. So far this morning the division have exchanged presents and all raided a conference room on the third floor because the heard there were scones and tea. Mr Pontner is taking them all to lunch later and he said I should come. There are only five people in his office proper but they said they work with other departments all the time. In fact, one of the chaps I met yesterday is in Communications, what. He said he has a project for next week for me but he's not ready to hand it over just yet.

I'm sure your brother knows him but after our exchange last night, I am not bally we keen to consult him. I expect I might do better not taking his assessment of his former coworkers, what. I say, is he always so...testy? Sally-Anne, I can't think much of Auror Lamont if you're correct about them.

At any rate, there hasn't been much work done today but they seem a cosy lot. One witch even told me that although it's an out-of-the-way department, the advantages are clear. 'For one thing, no Councilwizards looming about!' she said. Then she blushed and apologised hastily, what, and said she hoped I wasn't offended. I suppose the whole Ministry know about my association to Hydra. I say, I expect that's a jolly good thing as it presumes loyalty. They obviously believe she and her mother are more alike than complete opposites, what!

Well, I hope today's deliveries go well for you, Sally-Anne. And Ron, maybe we could manage a tea break together Thursday or Friday?
