Private message to Ron

Hey,

Thanks for coming with me last night. We did all right, yeah? Not a bad team.

I mean, maybe you don't think so, seeing as we didn't actually stop Sirius and Remus from killing themselves.

I've been having a think about it, though, and I know it's what they wanted. Maybe not to die, exactly, but to have it be over. Once and for all. Sirius was in a dark place and I recognised it because I was there, too, not so long ago. And he was one of you lot, a Gryffindor, and I think he just hated feeling like he hadn't done enough. Which was rubbish, of course, but how do you tell someone "no, your feelings are wrong," especially with someone like that?

So what I'm saying is that they chose, you know. Like Harry did.

And... as I'm writing this I realise that you're a Gryffindor, too, and it probably all makes perfect sense already.

Ha.

Too right, it makes sense what they did. Same as what we did. You've been spending a lot of time with Gryffindors, y'know? Some of it's rubbed off, I think.

And thanks. I was thinking I should write you today, but I wasn't sure which things to say. I was actually on my way to thinking it'd be better to ask you round the pub and just talk about it instead.

Y'know, one of the things I was thinking was that every time we've partnered for something--remember some of those CCF manoeuvres?--we've been kinda brilliant. I mean, more than not bad. Something to think about.

On my way to see Brodie now. She's getting stir-crazy.
