Order Only

[alt_pomona]

It's my great pleasure to actually get to announce one of these, and for one of my own badgers, too.

Poppy and I had a very pleasant and helpful conversation with Mr Diggory and Albus took his oath a few minutes ago. Mr Diggory - Cedric - I'm sure it'll take you some time to catch up with everything, but do feel free to ask questions. And you'll be able to talk more easily and privately with a number of others now.

Many welcomes, really.

It is so good to be able to talk honestly, isn't it? I resisted the journals entire for years, and there are still times I wonder, but this - well. Makes up for a lot.

I respect your commitment to your word, and I'm quite sure Alice will understand too. She's been very careful about some of the competing loyalties of others in the Order, and I expect she'll be the same for you. (And Minerva will understand for her own reasons, I think, but doesn't come at it like one of the sett does.)

But briefly, yes, we were, or rather Albus and Frank were. (You've read enough to understand the cost, I hope.) I'm inclined to think that warning if they try to break it is substantailly more than we'd have had before, and a quite generous offer on your part, but Alice can sort that out handily.

You're all right though? Rather a shock, really, to find out all of this, and what we've been keeping from so many people. You'll find more as you go back. There are some exceptionally sticky parts from, oh, about January of this year back through the previous November, that I'd recommend you save for the weekend.

Do feel you can ask me more at any time, really. Which, speaking off, you're in such an odd place this year, neither student or staff. If you'd rather be formal, that's quite all right, but I'm just as happy if you use my first name. And if you'd rather one or the other yourself, just say so.
