Order Only - Private message to Harry and Justin

[alt_draco]

Hey-

There's something I've been wondering, and you two are the best people I can ask, because I know you're both sentimental about Sirius for different (albeit related) reasons.

Ellie leaped in front of Sirius so he could live, and near as I can tell, that's the only reason he's here now.

Are you glad about that? I mean, I know you aren't happy Ellie's dead, obviously, but when it comes right down to it, would you rather she be dead and Sirius be alive, instead of the reverse?

Are you bringing this up because you think in some way the Order thinks Ellie was less important because she was a muggleborn?

No, it's not that exactly, I don't think. It's more that everyone's going 'round talking about how brave she was, how she did us all proud and such. And I know it's to make Sirius feel better, but I just wish we could be more honest and tell it like it is. It's a tragedy.
