I Solemnly Swear: Private Message to Sally-Anne and Justin

[alt_susan]

Merlin! I just remembered something.

Ron's got the leading role in the revue--has anyone told him?

I didn't want to just blurt it out in the ISS discussion, and I feel as if don't know Ron well enough to PM him, especially at a time like this.

No one's told him, so far as I know.

I mean, I thought about it, but

'oi Ron, you got the lead in the school play! congratulations!!! sorry about your Dad, though'

no. I couldn't come up with a good way to bring it up.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

But maybe he shouldn't be surprised by it when he comes back to school, either...

That's why I thought of you two, because I thought you might have an idea how to break it to him without sounding like that.

Sue,

Dash it all, no, I hadn't even realised it until you said. In all honesty, I shouldn't have known that I had been given a part if Remy hadn't told me on the way home.

Let's give it a think, what? Perhaps not right now but if he needs some distraction after the funeral and Christmas and all, we could tell him then.

I think you're probably right that it can wait; it just came to me all of a sudden...

Honestly, I wouldn't blame Ron if he didn't want to take on the part, and I don't think anyone else would either. Well, there are some people who would probably find a way!

But maybe he'll want something to do.
