Order Only

[alt_draco]

If anyone seriously has a problem with the items I stole yesterday, then why don't you try talking to me about it, instead of lying it on other people's doorsteps, like those belonging to Mrs. Longbottom and Sirius?

If you find that I sent you something that doesn't suit you, then please feel free to do with it whatever you like. Throw it in the rubbish, turn it into an elaborate candle-holder, or, if you like lining the pockets of Protectorate-worshipping purebloods, then send it back to the shopkeeper I stole it from.

Though I very much doubt you'll be sending back any of the wands, tents, potions ingredients, brooms or other items you categorise as 'acceptable' to steal.

And just so we're clear: I didn't harm or hurt anyone during my excursion. Even though I did see Isadora Rowle in the Harrod's beauty department and consider it an opportunity that I regret not taking.

Ah. So the anonymous parcel with nail varnish was from you?

I was rather baffled.

Thank you.

You'll get no complaints from me. I positively adore my snake-crown-headdress (even though I'm going to take it to bits) and it's Lana's family that owns Harrods, any money out of her family's pockets is fine with me. (Although I suppose this came from a jewelry store? whatever. I'm sure you wouldn't have stolen from anyone who didn't deserve it.)

Well, I admit I did write to my Mum, but that was only because she's my Mum, I've a birthday coming up, and I was confused whether or not it was supposed to be an early birthday present from Mom and Dad or something. There was no note, after all. Except I couldn't figure out where on the island they could've found something like that robe. Cor, the fur on the collar's really soft.

Anyway. Thanks a lot, for thinking to include me. And Mum said you'd been really generous to Moddey, so thanks for that, too.

Whoa, bloody brilliant! Reminiscent of some of our best personal capers. We'd gladly dub you an honorary Weasley, due to your demonstrated ability at 'Getting Away With Things' if we weren't afraid you'd be mortally insulted.

But seriously, we'd LOVE to sit down with you to talk about shop security. You must have learned a lot while you were out and about under that cloak, and we bet you would have a tonne of excellent ideas to contribute. Maybe even some information that Fu could use.

I'm seriously impressed that you made off with a haul like that in one night. And given that you were along on the mission to burn down the journal archive, we should definitely keep you in mind for future actions where a stealth quick in/quick out is needed. You're obviously very skilled at that sort of thing.

All that CCF training must have helped, I bet, and I know you were at the top of the group in the training exercises.

Thank you for the belt.

One of the tents was given to my company (well, the company I'm leaving, Charlie Company in Settlement 4, because I've been reassigned to Settlement 4's Zulu Company). They've already set it up and people have been popping by to goggle at it. It's been funny to see so many people's jaws drop, the muggles especially. It's a really nice tent. The settlement Captain says it'll probably make the most sense to use it as the company's medical dispensary, especially since it has running water and private rooms they can use if someone who's sick that needs to be isolated, or someone's about to give birth. The company Matron was ever so pleased and relieved about that. Now she won't have to spend half her time hauling water to have it ready for the Healers.

It's going to make a real difference, and maybe it'll even save some lives.

Well, I'm not complaining. I really like the blue ones. Do you think this means it might be possible to go somewhere in public, if you had a disguise on? I'd look just like a regular witch in all those robes.

Anyway. And Sirius wasn't complaining, either. I mean, I hope you could tell that in all the spirited rowing going on in the parlour, he was the one telling Tonks to calm down and let it go.

The Order really do sometimes get shirty about odd things. You're not going to turn evil just because you caused Lana Sandoval-Pennifold's family a headache or two.

Sorry, Cousin. You'll have to count me among the ones who don't agree with what you did.

Do you really not know why people have been speaking first with Alice? She's the Order's head, and in a case like this it's her place or Remus's to speak to you about what you've done. But I'll answer your question for my own part.

Some of the things you took are useful, no argument, though we were obviously getting along before the new tents and brooms and ingredients, and we'd have found ways to get what we really need as we need it. We'd have been keen to hear about that cloak and might have used it to launch a robbery or six. (I expect there'll be loads of ideas what can be done with it now.) And we might have agreed that you'd be a good burglar to send. The difference is you'd have been acting for the Order, not going off on your own personal mission to poke holes in some pureblood shop owners' purses or whatever you were about.  I'm unc                     

You do have me wondering whether we should use that cloak to find and assassinate councilwizards. Maybe we should consider making that part of our strategy, but there'd be consequences, and they might be large ones. So don't regret not acting on impulse against Isadora Rowle. It wasn't your call to make. Not then. That decision isn't yours or anyone's to make alone, but I think we should be considering it. I expect Frank's giving that a fresh look already.
