alt_ron(This is really to Malfoy, but I know you want to see what I'm saying, Mrs Longbottom.)
I'm sorry I didn't tell you it was a love potion today when you asked. I should have told you.
And for what it's worth, I'm sorry that I used a potion that did stuff I didn't know it might do. Like make Patil want to kill herself. I thought using a love potion was a solution to that challenge that would mean I didn't have to physically hurt anybody, but I was wrong about the potion and it didn't turn out that way.
If you want, I'll tell you what all my challenges are when I get them. And tell you what I'm thinking of doing to meet them. We haven't been doing that, any of us, but if that will make things work better, I'll do it.
I know you said from the start there could be times when you'll have to turn on some of the rest of us. Still true. I know that. But I've got your back in a fight, and I'm sorry I didn't see that this thing with Patil was going to drag you in.

Date: 2014-04-27 05:03 am (UTC)As much as I might enjoy drawing out my acceptance of your apology, I won't; because in truth, your apology doesn't mean much to me, and my acceptance of it probably doesn't mean much to you.
So then I do accept your apology, but (and Mrs Longbottom knows this) if anything like this happens again, I'm done with the Order.
I don't need your back in a fight, I need your back at all times - in theory and spirit, even if it's not possible in actuality. What you've done suggests to me that you don't see us as equals, and you don't see us as on the same side. Maybe after you work out just why that is, we can have a talk about it, but until then I'd actually rather not speak to you.
