Order Only

[alt_hydra]

I had supper with my family tonight, all of them. Well, not you, Dora (or Bea. Or Sirius). It was Nanella, Pascoal, Uncle Lucius, Aunt Narcissa, Mummy, Daddy, Uncle Raz, Professor Siz, and Draco. It was for my birthday, sort of, only it happened tonight because it was the only evening that everyone was free at the same time.

It was like a lot of family suppers, no one was pretending to be anything they weren't. Well, except for me and for Draco. I tried to pay attention to see if I heard anything that might be useful. I don't know if I did but I'll share it anyway.

First, nobody likes Corax Mulciber. They don't like how he's trying to take control of things, and they also think he's not efficient. Uncle Lucius was able to find out that the man, Boulstridge, that Mr Mulciber called back from his holiday - Mr Mulciber didn't even need him, he just did it because he felt like it, and to show off. Mummy says he's "flashing his cock" instead of doing anything worthwhile.

Mummy also said that Mr Yaxley is unhappy that she and the other Aurors are in charge of monitoring journals now, because he it should be under MLE's control. She said that Yaxley gets more batty every day.

Uncle Lucius was - I think he was panicked, very panicked, when Mr Mulciber tried to take control of the journal monitoring. Mostly because he knew that Mr Mulciber wanted to study Aunt Narcissa's and Draco's journals in particular.

They also talked about Aldrich, a little, because Nanella said something about how she couldn't find any mango stilton (Mummy's favourite) for supper. Mummy wasn't happy that her favourite cheese wasn't served, and it put her in ill spirits. She and Uncle Lucius agreed that the farm must have been taken over by black market opportunists.

And everyone drank a lot of wine.

Well, I don't know if that's helpful, but I thought it might be.

Well, but really, would she do that? I mean, why would she give that sort of order?

She'd have to think there's something wrong with you or Harry.

Which is another really good reason not to act like a pillock when you're normally not one.

Like going flying today--that was good. And I think you even had fun doing it.

Because she wouldn't be able to resist, or stop herself.

But..you're right. You must be. Harry's the only person, aside from the Lord Protector, that I've never heard her say one bad thing about.

When have I ever not been a pillock? Don't you remember some of the stuff I used to say to you about people like you, about muggleborns?

It's easy not to think when you're flying. That's the good thing about it.

Well, Sirius has already asked so if there's a way to protect the journals, we'll find it.

And if not, you'll just have to make sure that your aunt doesn't think about checking.

Anyway, you said those things before. Before you knew better, I mean.

You're not a pillock to your friends. Usually.

I wasn't just saying those things, I believed them.

I'd better apologise to Hydra.
