Right then

[alt_susan]

I slept practically all day and I still feel a lot like an Erumpent just kicked me in the face.

I keep wanting to write to Lisa and Sarah and the rest of the Moddey crew to say how sorry I am about Colin and then I remember they haven't got journals. I'll owl--but it isn't quite the same; there's something well comforting about having these little books to talk to each other in.

Huh. Still haven't figured out what I want to do with my life. I guess I'll carry on liasing as long as the Colonel wants me and see what happens. Least I won't be shoveling owl poop!

I wasn't as close to Sirius and Mr Lupin as some but they were pretty brilliant and will be missed. It's a bit of a sad crew we are now--but we're here.

Pansy--who's buying the first round?

Private Message to Ron

[alt_susan]

Reckon I might just owe you my life mate.

All those sparring sessions that I thought we were doing mainly for you--to burn off steam while waiting for the Ginny and Charlie situation to shift--I'm well certain that's what gave me the edge over Yaxley.

Still a bit ill from that really; I'm sure some of those Enforcers didn't make it but this was the first time I'd looked someone in the eye and known I was going to go for the kill.

Good show, you! I told you all you needed was the right situation to come along and you'd rise to the challenge. Was right, too, wasn't I? Dead brilliant of me, what?

Seriously, Sue. You did what you had to, but I know what you mean. It's not something you get used to, or anywiz, it's not something you want to get used to, yeah?

And any time you want to spar, or talk, or have a match over the chess board, or, y'know, down some pints, give me a call.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_susan]

Don't think I won't take you up on all those offers. Especially the pints!

And thanks. For everything.

You staying on with the Aurors?

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_ron]

You know it.

I'm in it for the glory, y'know. And the uniform. Sally Anne thinks it's hot.


Kidding.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_susan]

Ha!

Assuming he stays in--I have this glorious mental image of you and Draco in about 5 years with a line of baby Auror trainees following you around like ducklings.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Heh. He'll hate that. And be dead brilliant at.

Just a prediction.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_susan]

Course! They'll adore and be terrified of you both. I suspect there's going to be a Legend.

It's a good thing the rest of us will be around to keep your egos tied to the earth.

We're not rubbish at this prediction business! And here I didn't even take Divs.

I reckon you know how important what you're doing with Davidson is. I mean, having a wizard who gets on with people being his right hand. Dead important.

Re: Private Message to Ron

[alt_susan]

I do. And I've been learning loads from him and from all the people I've been meeting; not to mention getting to see the country.

Muggle tecnologics is well fascinating you know? And there's the music.

I just don't know if I'll fancy being a bureaucrat once it's all sorted; I don't want to go round with my wand out but I have got used to some excitement in my life.

Private Message to Luna

[alt_susan]

I'm so very sorry about Colin. He was so wickedly clever and funny and brave.

And he was absolutely gone on you too--it was sweet to watch.

I'm well angry that he shan't be here to know a fully free life.

[alt_pansy]

I am.

And whatever you end up doing, I'm sure it'll be to make the world a better place.

[alt_susan]

I'll get the second then!

[alt_susan]

I hope I shall do.

And let's keep reminding each other to to live and live boldly.

After all--there's no one to stop us!

[alt_ernie]

Thanks for watching my back out there, Sue.

Wasn't sure

Wasn't sure how it'd go, but it went a good deal better this time round.

Sad to hear about Colin Creevey, though. I only really got to know him a little, but he seemed like a really decent kid. I would've liked to have had the chance to have gone to school with him.

[alt_susan]

And thanks for watching mine! It was good to have you on the crew.

It's hard. It's always fucking hard. I've got to say I'll be well pleased if I never have to cast anything harsher than a Jelly-Legs Jinx on anyone for the rest of my life.
