[ Order ]Lily reminded me that maybe I ought to get my nose out of the book that I'm reading and be productive rather than just reading. So, anyway, the point of the matter is, I went to my parents' library, which has has some really weird, obscure, and disgusting stuff in it if you look behind the books like Wiggly Willy and the Wonderful Whomping Williw. No, that's not what I'm reading.
According to Reanimation: A Brief Study into the Nature of Inferi, Inferi can only be created on purpose by a Dark wizard. Which everyone already knew. However (because I think that the author was being ironic when he called this study 'brief'), apparently there are some accounts of the state of being an Inferi being transferred via bite in wizard lore as well as Muggle stories (aka 'zombies'). The author debates a lot with himself about whether or not this actually happened, and said that if Dark magic had infected saliva, the state could be transfered from one person to another that way or by sneezing and biting. But he doesn't think that's possible because he's never actually heard of Dark Magicked spit before.
The only way to un-Inferi an Inferi is to make the Dark wizard responsible break the spell, which seems a bit out of the question for this instance. And he doesn't really say how to do that. So all in all, this has been extremely interesting but extremely unuseful, particularly as his approach to Inferi just sees to be "burn the fuckers and be done with it."
That said, I couldn't quite bring myself to read Creatures of Twilight: What Roams in the Night because there was a really revolting drawing on the front page and I'm pretty sure that it's been giving me hives. But, if anyone who doesn't feel silly wearing gloves in August is braver than I am wants to have a gander, you can come by and pick it up.

[ Lily ]Do you ever wonder if maybe we didn't make a mistake with this Order stuff?
I'm not about to ask Sirius and Remus that as they're both so pissed at Emmeline right now, but this whole thing and what happened to the Prewetts hasn't made me wonder right now. Not that I don't think I'd be fine with dying to help the Order, if I had to, but sometimes I feel a bit in over my head. Alice said that Sirius was acting like a child, which is bullshit, but sometimes I don't feel like that much more than a kid. Just a year ago we were in Hogwarts.
Okay, maybe I don't feel like I'm a kid, that's not the right way to put it. I feel way older than I would have if none of this were going on, and sometimes I miss just being stupid. I don't think we get a lot of chances to just be stupid any more. Or, we could be, but if we are, some Order member's going to say that we're just children, blah blah blah.
I don't know what I'm saying, exactly. I guess I don't feel like we made a mistake. I know we did the right thing. I just wish that we hadn't had to. [ Order ]Not to beat a dead horse's gravestone, but can we all just agree that from here on out, we practice full disclosure where Order business is concerned?

[ Lily ]I know that you're going to want to go to the Prewetts' funeral mem service today, but I've been thinking about it and it's really probably better if we go disguised. The DMLE and Death Eaters will probably be watching to see who shows up, and I have a feeling that we're already on both of their watch lists. I don't want to confirm anything by confirming you we had a close relationship with them.
Also, there's a surprise for you on the kitchen table.

[ Snape ]Hey Snivelly Severus Snape.
Thanks for coming to the ceremony and not objecting and everything. I know it meant a lot to Lily.

[ Lily ]How upset are you going to be if I veto Snape?

| 046 |
[Jun 6th, 2011 * 6:26pm] |
[ MWPP ]Lily wants to invite Snivelly to our wedding. Well, I don't know if she wants to invite him so much as that he apparently said that he'd come if he was invited and she said she wouldn't invite him if I said no. And frankly, I don't know what to say about it, which is why I'm asking for advice more sensible than "UGH, SNAPE. NO FUCKING WAY." Because that was my first thought, too.
My first instinct is HELL NO. Hating Snape's ugly, greasy face plays a large role in that, as does fear that he'll curse me in the back at my own damned wedding out of jealousy/misplaced anger/general gittishness. However, where Snivellus is concerned, I'm aware that I am perhaps not the most unbiased individual. For reasons I will never be able to comprehend, they were mates for years. But he fucked that up by calling her a mudblood in full view of half our year and mating up with that Death Eater-worshipping, Dark Arts-practising crew. So he fucked up and he probably doesn't deserve a second chance.
But it would probably mean a lot to Lily.
But what if he comes and just acts like a dick the entire time? Who would he even talk to? Everyone else who will be there hates him. He'll just be greasy and ugly and rude, and if she extends the olive branch and he says something insulting and gets oil all over our napkins, it'll just upset her. It doesn't seem worth the risk to me, but I think it might be to her.
Help.

[May 31st, 2011 * 10:18pm] |
[ Sirius ]Mate, I probably should have done this before, but I figured I may as well make it official. I want you to be my best man when Lily and I get married. At first, I thought that I might have all of you stand up with me, but since Petunia still refuses to come, I don't think Lily wants a big wedding. It's taking a lot of convincing for her not to just elope. But you can imagine how my parents would take the two of us getting eloped. Even if the ceremony's really small and we just go back to their house afterwards, I know they'll want to be there. Mum'd probably cry.
This of course means that you're in charge of my bachelor party, though I can't imagine you won't get Pete and Moony to help you, too. I want to be surprised, but I do have one stipulation: nothing that could land me in jail the night before I get married. Or, well, nothing that could land me in wizard jail, because we know we can get out of Muggle jail. But preferably no Muggle jail, either. I know you're creative enough that that shouldn't limit our options too much. [ Lily ]Wedding arrangements. Do we just want to go to the church in Godric's Hollow and see when we can book a date? My mother used to say that really bad storms were giants crying. I don't think that that's true. Giants are dicks.

[May 23rd, 2011 * 5:28pm] |
[ Order ]Okay, everyone, hello. I know that we have something of a situation on our hands right now. Death Eaters seem determined to take out my fiancée's male doppelganger gingers. And they keep murdering innocent people in the process, because apparently they just don't give a damn who they kill as long as they get their way. Which I suppose shouldn't be surprising considering who we're dealing with, but somehow, it still is. At the rate they're going, they're going to bring about the end of the pureblood Reign of Wonder rather than begin absolute pureblood supremacy, if they keep killing everyone who doesn't agree with every point on their agenda.
Anyway, that was beside the point. The reason that I wanted to say something is because I read in the Prophet today that, among the suspects for the Prewetts' murders were "extremist anti-purist or anti-pureblood vigilantes." Which didn't sound like us, as I thought it was clear we're anti-Death Eater? But then Scrimmy went on to say that he didn't necessarily mean us, and that, "All Order are vigilantes, but not all vigilantes are Order."
And I thought, wait. Since when? Are there other vigilantes out there I didn't know about? If so, who are they, and why haven't I heard anything about them? Does anyone know what and who he was referring to?

[ MWPP + Lily ]Lily and I are in the safehouse making t-shirts. Which means that you should come and make t-shirts as well. I think that they're totally awesome and they're going to go like hotcakes.
Though I'll tell you, it's been really hard not to write "Order of the Phoenix: We Got Jugs" on all of them. But Lily says that would be stupid. We're in the unicorn room.
And I'll have you know, trying to snog with a picture of Frank riding a unicorn hanging on the wall? Actually harder than you'd think it would be. [ Order ]I don't recommend coming into the unicorn room at the safehouse for a bit. No, Professor McGonagall, we're not putting powdered erumpent horn in a toilet again. There's just a project going on. Plus, Fabian's nearby and you all know how he is. [ Mary ]I don't know if Lily told you, but we're going to be staying at my place for a bit.

Thank you for sending me the cake! You really didn't have to do that. It was nice, though, because with all the stuff going on right now, my birthday didn't really feel like a birthday. Not that that's awful because I've probably gotten too old for birthdays to be a huge deal, but still.

[Mar 25th, 2011 * 3:01am] |
[ Lily ]So, I told Mary that I wouldn't tell you that she said this. But it's sort of been bothering me, so I figure that I might as well. Just don't be angry at Mary, okay?
I was talking to Mary, because she has issues, or whatever, that I don't really want to think about because I don't like her boyfriend. But she said that you said that you thought talking about feelings is hard. That "James doesn't know how much he means to me" or something. And I admit that it sort of bothered me. Not because I don't like the thought of meaning a lot to you, but because I don't understand why you wouldn't just tell me how much I mean to you.
Because I really love you, Lily. I know I probably don't say it as much as I should, but I don't because I worry that it's going to make you uncomfortable. And you don't have to say certain things for me to know them. Like, I know that you must be sort of scared that I'll end up being an arse to you, like Snape was, and your sister still is. I'm not like that, though. I mean, I can't really imagine being without you at all. As much as I can't imagine being without Sirius.
I don't know. I just thought that maybe you would feel better if I told you that.

[Mar 24th, 2011 * 12:09am] |

[ Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw 1978 ] Lily wanted me to tell you all that she probably won't be around a lot.

[Feb 15th, 2011 * 9:50pm] |
You know, I had actually started reading my journal less because I couldn't turn a page in it without one person or another being an arse of tremendous proportions. But I didn't think that I would open it up to skim through today and see an arse this large.
I'm going to tell a story.
When I went to Hogwarts, I was eleven years old, and I hadn't really had any friends my own age before. My parents were much older by the time that I was born, and all of their friends who had kids were at least twice my age, and I didn't have any siblings. Even though I've never admitted it before, I was kind of afraid that I wouldn't make any friends. I think that a lot of kids are afraid of that, going to Hogwarts.
But I did make friends, three of the best there are. Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. It didn't take long for Sirius, Peter, and me to realise that there was something up with Remus. He was always visiting his ill relatives. Once a month, in fact. It never crossed our minds that he would be a werewolf. Personally, I was convinced that he had the Curse of Collingullie on him, which was something that I'd read about in a book and makes lots of bad things happen to you. When we started keeping track of when he was going away, it was hard not to notice that his absences lined up with the full moon.
It was hard to reconcile the friend that I knew with the image of 'werewolf' that I had in my head. I thought that werewolves were all blood thirsty killers, who would eat me if I misbehaved, because that's what wizard parents tell their children. But I think twelve year olds are less judgemental than adults, and more trusting, and less set in their prejudices, because it was easy to choose to believe in the Remus that I knew rather than what I was told about werewolves.
Remus Lupin has been one of my best friends since I was eleven years old, and I can tell you that he has never hurt anyone. I can assure you that he didn't bite this Ferguson Scabior person, because Sirius and Peter and I have been responsible for guarding him during his transformations since we left school. Remus has never bitten anyone, and he goes to extreme lengths to make sure that he never would.
I know that some arsehole is going to come in and say how awful and mean and violent we are because we used to do things like put nifflers under the Slytherin table and itching powder in Mulciber's pants. And I'd be the first to admit that sometimes, Sirius and I would go too far for a laugh when we were younger. But Remus was always the one trying to convince us not to do that, and to point out when we would go too far. So don't blame him for the shit that Sirius and I did. That was our fault, and we're both different now.
In all, you are proving why it is that we have people like Fenrir Greyback. Because instead of offering people who have been bitten measured trust, compassion, and understanding, like three twelve year old boys were capable of, you turn on them like a pack of wolves (irony fully intended). I'm not saying that werewolves can't be dangerous, because I know that they can. I'm not stupid. But you're paying Remus back for years of excruciating care and responsibility with hatred and prejudice. It's no wonder so many werewolves think it's appealing to run off and join people like Fenrir Greyback. Someone who's weaker than Remus would think that maybe all of that effort and worrying and being responsible wasn't worth it. That if people think they're a monster, they might as well become one.
I know that Remus isn't going to do that, because he's a stronger person than at least ninety percent of the people reading this, and a better one, too. And he'll have at least three friends to support him no matter what. It's just shitty that the rest of you can't see what a few boys could when they were only twelve years old.

[ MWPPL ]Right, so, Moody's eye. I don't know about you guys, but I don't really want to end up looking like an idiot who can't do this. So, I've been compiling all of the books that I thought might be useful from my dad's library and going through them. Because the rest of you all have jobs/helping orphans at St Mungo's and all that and I figured I may as well do it to start off with. I haven't actually tried any of the magic involved yet, because it seems deadly complicated stuff and I'm kind of afraid that if I do it alone, I'll blow it up or something.
But, of course, since I've got other things to do all the time as well, I have a whole bunch of books that I haven't even cracked open yet and I think it's time to admit defeat and ask you lot to go through them as well. They are:
Perceptive Magical Theory
The Anatomy of the Brain
Magic: The Sixth Sense
Any takers?
Also, the full's coming up soon, which I know Moony remembers but Sirius and Pete probably forgot. Any plans this month, or are we just going to lay low?
Sometimes I wonder if the things people say on these journals are actually an accurate measure of public opinion or not.

[ Order ]The blanket in here looks really nice with the walls. Well done, Decorating Team.

[Dec 27th, 2010 * 1:54pm] |
[ Order ]So, I know that all of us are pretty upset about some Death Eater somehow managing to look like they got the better of Moody, but for one, I think that whoever it is was lucky to get out of there alive, and that we'll be finding them right soon, but "finding them right soon" isn't really good news, so I come bearing actual good news!
The paperwork has finally gone through on our safehouse! So we officially have an Official Order Headquarters. No more meeting at the Hog's Head. Not that there's anything wrong with the Hog's Head, it just sort of smells like goats. It sound make it easier for us to find meeting times because we won't be limited by Aberforth's schedule. The place is in Shropshire, and you can find it at [Apparition coordinates]. The place is entirely Muggle, no Floo connection or anything, and signed under fake Muggle names, so it's got no connection to the Order whatsoever. Unfortunately, it's not quite ready yet, but I was hoping that Gideon and the Security Team could come in and set up all the warding they want done ASAP. And then the Decorating Team can do their thing as well.
( cut for image )
Just kidding on the Decorating Team bit. Unless someone really does want to decorate it, in which case, they're free to, I guess. [ MWPPL ]I don't know if all of you saw, but Nirvy McG wants us to try and come up with some sort of replacement for Moody's eye. Are all of you lot up for it?

[Dec 4th, 2010 * 5:38pm] |
[ MWPP, Lily, Greta, and Sherlock ]Mary wanted to have me tell you this, because I don't think she wants to have to tell everyone individual. Or really talk about it, which is understandable. I don't really know what the good way to say it is, so I'm just going to put it out there.
Apparently, the people who attacked Mary disguised themselves as Lily and Peggy. So that it looked like her friends were attacking her. Maybe they wanted the DMLE to blame them. I don't know. But that probably explains why Lily and Peggy don't remember anything that happened, and why they weren't hurt.
Mary doesn't want anyone to freak out, or accuse anyone, or ask painful questions. I'm pretty sure that goes double for you, Savage. She knows that Lily and Peggy didn't hurt her, and she says that the DMLE agrees. Peggy and Lily will be asked more than enough questions by the DMLE, I think, and it's not really fair that all of their friends would be interrogating them as well. And we really probably shouldn't bug Mary about it, either. She has to talk to the Aurors about it a lot and that's really hard. If she wants to talk, she will. So. Yeah. There you go.

[ MWPP + Lily ]We're going to try and learn Occlumency, because fuck if I'm letting anyone near some of the memories that I've got in my head. And hopefully the rest of you feel the same way, because you've got a lot of memories that incriminate me in your own skulls.
In all of my family's library, Lily and I could only find one book on the topic. It seems pretty comprehensive, but it was printed in 1804 and looks like nobody's read it since about that long. It looks insanely difficult, so I don't know how much headway we'll make, but I figure it's better to try it out than the alternatives.

[ MWPP ]Padfoot, are you going to be up for our monthly rendez-vous tonight? I'm hoping yes but I have a feeling that the answer's going to be no. I don't want to go without
Wormy, we're going with Remus one way or another, so be ready, okay? [ Lily ]Hi again.
We're getting ready for the full moon right now. I'm not sure if Sirius will be able to go. He's still Healing and whatnot and who knows what transforming will do to broken ribs, let alone rough housing with Remus. So I was wondering if you could keep him company this evening? In a completely platonic way I know it probably sounds weird I'm asking you to hang out with my mate alone He'll probably be moping unless he has someone to entertain him. [ Order ]After last night, I think that we might want to add 'first aid' to the list of things we need classes on.
Also, anyone who wants to come with me, I'm doing house shopping for the safehouse on Tuesday. Preferably more Muggly types. Someone who'll know how this stuff works.

[Nov 21st, 2010 * 4:20pm] |
[ Order ]Mayday, mayday. Sirius is hurt. I'm sure he needs a Healer, but he doesn't want to go to St Mungo's and insisted that I bring him home. Because he's stupid. He's not bleeding but he's got a furnunculus and appears to be in quite a bit of pain, so I'd imagine there's something internal going on?
I'd like him not to die, please.

[ Lily ]I don't know if you saw, but Greta has dragon pox. I took her to St Mungo's but am just now getting back and then tonight I'm going to be at Sirius's, even though it's not the full yet, because I think Remus is feeling particularly moony this month and needs some company.
Sorry. I know it's Saturday night and the shit storm surrounding the new Minister is just getting bigger and bigger. I don't know how I can always have so much stuff to do even though I'm a jobless layabout, as they say. It's a good thing that I had dragon pox when I was little, considering how many people I know seem to be getting it. My mum keeps reminding me that I can get it again even if the odds are a lot smaller, and to wash your hands, sweetheart but at least I don't have to worry as much as other people.

[ Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw 1978 ]If I see one more purist complaining about how horrible their life would be if a Muggleborn-sympathising Minister took over, or saying how poor and maligned they are, and how much danger they're in of being oppressed or discriminated against, or how purists and Death Eaters aren't the same thing, I am going to destroy something. And the only bad thing about that is how I can't destroy one of their faces without them thinking they're right. Also, getting in trouble. But mostly it's giving them reason to think they're right that's deterring me right now. Added later

[ Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws 78, minus Sirius ]So, there's a party on Saturday night, so I think that he'll get more than enough celebrating, but Sirius's birthday is in two days and I haven't bought him anything yet. I know that this makes me a shitty friend, but this is pretty much what always happens because I suck at buying things. So, does anyone want to go shopping with me? Probably just in Hogsmeade. When I was nine, I actually tried to lure a hag to my house with liver after my aunt had us over for dinner and made us eat liver and onions, of all things. (Who tries to feed nine year olds liver and tells them what it is?) The only thing that happened was that our house was overrun by cats for a day because I had scattered pieces of chicken liver all over the front lawn.

[ Order Research Team ]Good evening, Order denizens.
Since Gideon posted, I've been looking through my dad's books to try and find stuff that might be useful for what we talked about, namely, how to keep an eye on places without being there. And I found quite a few, actually! However, there are only so many hours in the day and days in the week and if I read too much I start to feel like a Ravenclaw, so I'm going to offer to lend them out to anyone else who wants to wade through kind of boring the interesting topics of warding, tracking, and alarms! These are the books I've got:Tiptoe Through the Tulips: A Guide to Moving Without Being Seen
How to Build the Great Wall of China Around Your House
A Comprehensive Study of Alarm Charms and their Uses
Find Your Foes and Follow Your Friends
Magical Methods of Stalking Should be fun, right?

[ Professor McGonagall ]Hello, professor.
As usual, I am in need of your kind and infinite wisdom in a time of crisis. Since you're the only adult I know in the Order, who isn't Dumbledore and therefore possibly more intimidating than you and also probably busier.
I have been thinking about this Order business and it feels like nothing that any of us "kids" do is right. If we don't do anything, then clearly we're useless when quite clearly it's important to people how useful everybody is. If we make suggestions or voice our opinions, we've just been here for a little while so we should pipe down and show people respect. So I was wondering if you, the seasoned veteran and goddess of wisdom, think it's wise to stick around. I don't much relish the idea of taking part with some of my memories and going back to being useless, but clearly a lot of people seem to think that James, Sirius, Remus, Lily, and I don't have anything worth listening to to say so maybe it's better that way. Added a bit later
[ MWPP + Lily ]Lily and I had talked about going bowling tonight and she wanted to know if you lot wanted to come. It might be good to relax in a setting that is comfortable for Moony.

[ Order ]Okay.
Sirius discussed pointing out everyone on his family tree who's likely a Death Eater a couple of days ago, and before we were in the Order, we did a lot of talking about who is and isn't probably a Death Eater. So I was thinking that it would be good to come up with a comprehensive list of everyone we think may be involved and maybe rule some people out?
Also, I still think that a safehouse would be a good idea, but I'm not sure where to even start looking in terms of locations, what's most convenient, etc. Because it seems like we should probably pick some place out of the way and all, but there's a lot of Britain to choose from.

[ Lily ]I'm going to go drown myself or something.
It's been good.

[ Lily ]I don't know what I'm supposed to do if they don't let Sirius, Remus, and Peter into the Order tonight. I mean, officially and all that. "No" makes me nervous. It makes me wonder how many of them didn't want us around, and that's probably stupid because we're here now, but I still feel like a shite person, lying and not telling people things. And I feel like, if Sirius finds out about this he's never going to forgive me.
Plus I think that my parents know something is up. My mum made a comment today about how little time I've spent at home lately.

[ Order ]Hello.
I hope that everyone is all right after the clusterfuck that was last night. For the record, Godric's Hollow was uneventful throughout the night, so whoever said that the Death Eaters probably weren't keen to strike the same place twice seems to have been correct. Do we think that they're done now? Two nights of unholy terror is enough? I mean, there's only so long that can keep it up right?.
Anyway, all of this has got me kind of thinking. Well, the other night when people were saying to get out of Godric's Hollow got me thinking. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and people just neglected to mention it, but we don't really have a place to go if something goes wrong. I mean, Marlene offered up her place in the Hebrides but there's her family there to contend with. So, I was thinking that maybe what we could do is create a sort of safe place to go. Like if someone thinks their house is being watched by Death Eaters, or they get hurt, or we need an emergency place for a meeting.
It could probably just be an empty house somewhere - preferably a Muggle one, and then we could ward it to the teeth and no one besides us would ever even need to know about it. We could probably even make it Unplottable. I mean, Dumbledore definitely could.
Do I sound utterly insane? [ Private ]I feel stupid because there's all this going on and still the only thing I can really think about in regards to all of it is that I wish that I could tell Sirius what I'm finding out. Remus and Peter, too, but mostly, Sirius, and I think that's partly because I feel like of all of them, he'd be the most offended to find out I've been lying omitting certain things. [ Sirius ]It's been a while since it's just been the two of us, you know.

[ Order ]In case anyone's wondering about the state of things here in Godric's Hollow, since it seems like most of the Ministry has cleared out for the time being, so I thought that I would give an update on what the deal is down here because I don't know where we're going to be going from Fiendfyre and tigers and cows (oh my!).
Right, so, I went down to the village square and got a drink in the pub and the Muggles are talking. They seem to know something funny is going on, even though it seems like the Obliviators got everyone who actually saw the giant flaming dragon I saw eat a house in one gulp. Anyway, they think that it was arson (rightly so) and are trying to figure out how someone put petrol on a whole block of houses because how else could have the fire spread so quickly? Whatever that means.
The damage is a couple of blocks over, and there's basically just a huge blackened crater where there used to be houses. It's been roped off and what not, but it looked like it was still smoking in places, and there was barely anything left standing, just piles of ash and one of the houses had a brick wall survive. There's lots of people around there, too.
And I also tried listening to see if anyone heard anything about suspicious characters, and there's some talk about how many strangers there were in the village last night, but of course that would have been us and the Ministry. Then again, Godric's Hollow is so quiet after dark that that doesn't surprise me. Unless they were walking past the pub right when it close up shop, I doubt anyone would have seen the Death Eaters. Everyone was drawn out of their houses by the racket their fire lorry things make.
And that's all I got. Right.

[ DMLE ][ Charmed to whistle until read ]
Hello.
I don't know if any of you are here now, because I'm not about to go there to check for myself, but there's a bit of a Fiendfyre problem in Godric's Hollow. Added a minute later.
[ Gryffindor 78 ]Some bastard actually set Fiendfyre loose on Godric's Hollow.
Are all of you all right?

[ MWPP ]I told her.
She took it rather well, actually. I mean, everything. Moony, she wasn't surprised about your fuzzy condition and she said that after you'd been prefects together and everything she knew what you were really like. I think she'd like to talk to you rather than me, though. If you're up for it.
Also, this bloke called Fabian Prewett invited me to play drunken Quidditch with him. I'm going to ask if you lot can come with us. If you want to.

[ Lily ]Okay, so, I've been thinking.
We're part of a secret vigilante organisation, right? And that requires lots of keeping secrets, which I don't really like, particularly where Sirius is concerned, but if I've got to keep a big secret from him I think that we shouldn't keep any important secrets from each other, right?
And with that in mind I have something to tell you.

[ Lily ]I don't know how I'm supposed to not tell Sirius, Remus, and Peter about this "secret vigilante justice" stuff. And I don't understand why Dumbledore asked us and not them. And I mean that as a compliment to them and not an insult to us, because you know that we're all just as good, except maybe Pete because we always had to help him a lot with schoolwork. But that's not because he's not smart. Doesn't it make more sense to ask someone to join because they're smart and talented than because they just so happen to have this job or that?
Anyway, I'm not sure that I didn't just dream that all up. Seems sort of crazy, doesn't it? Plus [ MWPP ]All right you lot.
So I've been thinking about this for a while. And I'm asking you because it concerns you, too, obviously. But lately, I've kind of been feeling like Lily should know about us. I mean, it's starting to get to the point where I feel really guilty about not telling her, like it's really important and she ought to know. And she's not just some girl I fancy any more, you know? I think we're in it for the long haul, and I know that she wouldn't tell anybody.
But obviously I'm not going to tell her if you don't want me to.

[ Gryffindor 1978 ]Merlin, I'm tired of Avery and Wilkes lording it over everybody that they got into this or that when everybody knows that Sirius, Remus, or I could've done just as easily. I love how they think that it means they're actually worth something, when no matter what job they got, they're still purist, Dark Arts-using scum. Anyway, I really need a job, or something to do, but at this point, if any of us do get jobs, we'll just get told that they're not as good as what they do. I really thought we were done with that lot when we got out of Hogwarts.
