Order Only: Private message to Ron Weasley

[alt_ginny]

This is a really, really private message isn't it?  The Order can see that I'm sending it but NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD can read it. (Unless there's an Order member in the office that reads all our private messages?  Do you suppose they really READ them all or just some of them? Anyway they can't read these, unless they're in the Order.)

Anyway I'm trying to read back through old messages and there are SO MANY, I don't even know where to start. I'm reading Bill's right now and there was this one post about an Auror and how everyone is studying occlumency -- OF COURSE everyone's studying occlumency.  No wonder Hermione was so cross with me saying I'd keep secrets no matter what, she knows perfectly well I won't have studied it.

Where do you think I should go read?  I mean, whose posts?

Wait, PADMA PATIL has a copy of Pure Victory? You gave one to HER?

I guess

Okay. I guess that's pretty funny. Do you know if she kept it?

[alt_ron]

Yeah, no idea.

It's not like I talk to Patil much. About books or anything else.

[alt_ginny]

(I'm reading Sirius Black's posts right now. I was reading Bill's and then I saw something Sirius said and got distracted.)

[alt_ron]

Yeah, read his. He's pretty hilarious sometimes. More than the rest of them.

And Mr Lupin's nice. Did you like him today? He's always like that--sort of everyone's favourite uncle, y'know? He writes summaries of all the meetings, and they're dead clever. He's got a sense of humour that sort of surprises you.

[alt_ginny]

Oh, he has meeting summaries? Maybe if I go read those some of this other stuff will make more sense? There's all these NAMES, I mean Bea and Strangeweale and Timothy and Maureen and everyone seems to know who everyone is so of course no one's explaining anything.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, that's the thing. It's not like reading a book, at all.

So don't feel as if you've got to read every single message ever.

They don't give an OWL in it.

[alt_ginny]

The first meeting summary I found mentions 'Strangeweale's breeding farm,' WHAT? WHY was he breeding PEOPLE?

[alt_ron]

Put down the book and come talk to me, yeah?

Or bring your book and you can just ask me stuff as you come to it.

Actually, you can camp in here with me tonight if you want. It's not like we've got to be up for lessons or anything tomorrow.

[alt_ginny]

I think I'd rather do that second thing, bring the book and ask you stuff as I come to it.

I'll bring my pillow and my blanket. How cross do you think Mum will be if we skive off chores because I was reading all your secrets until four o'clock in the morning?

[alt_ron]

I think it's a dead excellent excuse!

[alt_ron]

You should really ask Sally Anne.

I never really read all of them. I mean, it's years worth, innit? And so many people.

I read some of Madam Pomfrey's, I guess. And Mr Black's and Mr Lupin's.

But mostly I read Dad's.

I don't know if you should. I mean, it was hard to read them, and if you think it'd be too hard, then don't make yourself do it. I had to, though. I mean, I wanted to.

[alt_ginny]

I haven't looked at Dad's yet.

or Mum's.

[alt_ginny]

Oh and I see why things were so quiet at the Burrow over hols, you lot were really busy.

[alt_ginny]

Professor Brutka is ALBUS DUMBLEDORE?

[alt_ginny]

Right right I'm actually coming this time.

You can hear me yell things like 'BRUTKA IS ALBUS DUMBLEDORE' in person instead of reading them in the journal.
