Order Only: Private Message to Mrs. Longbottom

[alt_susan]

Thanks for sending me that message. It means a lot, it really does. A lot of the time I'm not really sure what I'm doing in the Order, especially this term. I mean, I've been helping Pansy a bit with her challenges, but anyone could do that really. And I don't know what to say to Justin (or Hydra) at all.

I was seeing someone last term, and we broke up at least partially because I have secrets she wasn't ready to know. But it's not the same and I don't want to presume that I know how it feels.

As far as the contest goes, I think the sett as a whole is well relieved that at least one of ours is out of it. And I'm not sure Smith's all that thrilled about being one of the finalists. He was an ass about it at first, but I think that before he only saw the chance of glory, and not how serious it would get. I don't know Bobolis that well--Ced would have a better idea about him--but I think he regrets doing the last challenge. Family's really important to him. The contest's been hard on my friends here, but sett-wise, Umbridge did a lot more damage.

You must know that you are far more important than what you will be able to accomplish as a revolutionary.

Once the dust settles, we will need a generation of leaders who will use the pieces of this Protectorate to create something entirely new.

You are our future. And that gives me a great deal of hope.

That...makes me a little nervous, honestly.

But I'm honoured. Truly.
