I promise I will keep all your secrets and never, ever make you regret letting me in to your secret organisation, this is the most brilliant thing I've ever heard in my LIFE (and I got to meet SIRIUS BLACK and ALICE LONGBOTTOM today) and I'll keep all the secrets and thank you all so much, I'll try really, really hard to be worthy of this honour.

Mum and Dad fought as hard as they could to keep Percy, but he was always ambitious, you know, and proud, and I guess rather ashamed of his background.

And then Lucius Malfoy got his hooks into him.

I think all that's left to hope for is that somehow he'll see the error of his ways, before he's taken the Lord Protector's Mark and ends up on the Council. I don't know what it'll take to turn him around. But it can't be his family. It's simply to dangerous to try, because--and yes, this hurts--he doesn't care about us enough to listen to us.

I meet with him every week, you know; have lunch with him to pump him for information. It may be that he'll give us a tidbit we can use, and if that's the case, maybe if we have our way and the Protectorate falls, it'll be enough to get clemency for him.

I don't know if he'd even want it.

I'm afraid there'll be a lot of hard things you'll learn, reading the journals. We've had to make some painful decisions, and not all of them are admirable, by any means. I include myself; I've done things I'm ashamed of, for the Order, but I'm firmly convinced they were necessary.

I guess you'll see more clearly what a difficult and dangerous path some of us have had to walk. And maybe a lot of things about the last several years will suddenly make much more sense, in hindsight.
