ORDER ONLY
Jul. 24th, 2014 09:49 amThere's nothing much to report from the Forest this week. We found part of a grindylow on the edge of the swamp, and a decent sized patch of asphodel, but other than that, we didn't come across anything. Next week, the plan is to walk around the swamp to map it out so we can go deeper in. Depending. Nev comes of age next Wednesday, so we're still waiting to see what'll happen with that.
And. I've been talking with Kitty and Artie. They both wrote me yesterday about Sirius's Grim Truth, and when we've had the chance to get together over hols so far, they've had a lot of questions about what happened with Draco, and what Harry talked about at the end of term, and they want to know more.
I don't know whether they think that I know more than they do or not. When we talk, it's mostly as if we're all in the dark together, but every now and then they'll talk around things rather than face them head on, especially when it comes to anything about mum and dad. I can't blame them. I watch what I say too, after all. And they very might well suspect something, but if I started asking them about it, well, I figured it'd be best to run things by you lot first.
It's more than a little frustrating at times. To have to be careful.
But we do talk about the Protectorate, and how awful and scary things are, and about what we've been getting up to at school, and what the radio says, and we talk about what it's like for them as halfbloods, and what it's like for me as whatever I am. And I've told them what I think about things, what I think is right and wrong, and what's unfair and why, because I don't have to lie about that part, and from what I can sort out, they think the same sorts of things.
Kitty's been my best friend ever since I started at Hogwarts, really. She's brave and strong and endlessly kind, and she told me when we first got to know each other that she'd never be ashamed of her parents. Artie is quiet, and all sorts of shy, but he's brilliant. He goes on and on about intellectual freedom when you get him on a tear, and he's just been so proud to be a part of the Galleon group, and when news came out about McClaggen's brother, he stood up in front of everyone in the Great Hall and walked over and held my hand.
I want to tell them more. And I think they're ready for it.
I'm only wondering how best to go about it.
Might we have a meeting, like Sally-Anne did with Daphne? It's just that
Well, once I tell them that I'm involved in something much bigger, there's no going back, really, and I trust them both to the ends of the earth and back again, but I want to make sure when I open that door that it's all right with everyone and everything's proper and safe.
