Doors

[On the heels of this and the earlier conversations on the journals, after having heard nothing from Lily in days. The letters are large, panicked, and drawn over and over and over with clotting ink. Gryffindor creed says NO CAUTION. NO SUBTLETY. RAAAAAAAAAH.]

I KNOW THIS WAS YOU, SNAPE. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.

ETA: [Harry P/James P]
I need the cloak, Harry. NOW. [Scratched out after talking to Narcissa.]

Added in at the Three Broomsticks: [Lily P/James P]
Evans, I should like a word with you.

[Notably not as Tom R, but as Voldemort.]

To whom do I owe Are you all enjoying the show?

[Draco, after this]

Draco, keep me from doing something stupid, would you? Because right now? I'm more livid than I've been in a long time.

Scrawled on parchment messily, after this: [Public]
What a show of skill, an attack on the defenseless, and a need hex them into allowing your name to dirty their mouths. You certainly have a way with people.

[Locked to MPP + Lily P]
Hell. We need to move fast.

[Locked to Harry P]
Are you safe?

[Locked to Narcissa B]
Tell me your sister was not behind this.

[Private message to Draco Malfoy]

Hi, Draco. Free soon? I've been reading up on potions, though I'm only good at them because of Snape's book. And my dad's going to try to start up the Order again. Not sure...if I like that idea much, to be honest. I'm really not sure. I think I might sign on for the next Auror class after all. Maybe. I'm not certain yet, but I want to do something with my life besides just be a political figure for everyone.

[Public]

Harry Potter Door: 10/10 would Harry Potter again. [...] I didn't buy enough books, though. And, I'd like to dissect a couple Sneakoscopes, even if they'd probably just be toys here. Or some weird Zatanna TCETED-CIGAM thing I don't want to mess with. Kinda. I kinda want to mess with.

[Private to Crane]

Hey, Mr. Jones. I got you something from the magical world of wizards.

[Private to Harley Q.]

You sure you don't want to see what New Arkham has to offer? There's a pool here. And, it's not covered in black mold!

[Locked to MPP + Lily P]
Alright, blokes, what say you as to how we might go about resurrecting the Order in Dumbledore's absence? We know there are no rosters kept. Ought we reach out to those we knew, once upon a time, if they're not yet deceased? Or are we being stingy with our trust in regards to them as well?

[Potter lock]
Harry, I would like to discuss the Order with you. I have some questions about members.

[Locked to Narcissa B]
You've not taken the Mark yet, have you? You're awfully quiet.

[Locked to "Tonks"]
How do you feel about blood purists, Tonks, love?

It shouldn't feel this good to finally be grounded. I'm rather relieved, actually.

[Narcissa Black]

Thank you. I don't know what your true intentions were with that announcement of mine, and I'm certain I more than upset some people, but I'm rather used to that. That I can handle. But I'm actually...for the first time in a long while, I feel like I actually have a family. One that will step in and take the burden off my shoulders for a change.

Er, are you free...perhaps this weekend? I'm grounded for that announcement, but maybe you can work out a day and time to meet with my dad and Mum and Draco, too.

After this. The post makes its presence known with all the volume (read: screaming) of a Howler until Harry responds: [Potter lock]

HARRY JAMES BLOODY POTTER - IS THIS A JOKE?

ETA: [Locked to Lily P]
I'm in Diagon Alley at present. But we need to speak.

After Harry outs Narcissa...: [Locked to Narcissa B]
What in Merlin's name did you tell Harry to go to the Minister for?

[Released in special editions through both The Quibbler and the Daily Prophet, Harry Potter has kept true to his promise to Narcissa Black and has released two identical articles attempting to explain the recent additions to the wizarding world. He contacted Kingsley Shacklebolt before sending both articles to the papers, making sure he had Kingsley's support in this announcement before it was delivered.]

It has recently come to my attention that there are several displaced persons living amongst our population. I have verified personally that these people are who they say they are, somehow brought forward in time to this time. It's not yet clear why. However, I ask us to respect the wishes of the former Headmaster Dumbledore. He believed firmly that it is our choices who make us who we are and it was through this advice that many of us chose the paths that we currently live. We could think of their jump through time as a second chance in life, a chance to re-choose some of those decisions that perhaps sent the world spiraling before.

I'm probably one of the first people who would easily condemn some of those brought forward through time, through reasons that I do not feel necessary to explain in this moment. However, I ask that you give them space. Allow them time to adjust to their new lives. It cannot be easy to jump so far into the future, to learn all that might become of them, and to try to fit into our world. To their world now. They are not yet the people that they became in our time, in our memories. I am more than aware that some of their actions had led to terrible disasters; however, they have a unique opportunity to relive their lives. Rather, to live it a first time in a completely different environment. Let us hope that events have a different future than the one we know currently.

With support from Minister Shacklebolt, I hope to assist these citizens with their adjustment to their new lives. I cannot speak for the Ministry nor am I yet part of it, but I'm certain that in the future, the Minister will make his own announcement in regards to treatment of these new people. You may direct your questions or concerns regarding these people to the Minister himself. I thank you for reading this article, and hope that, if you cannot respect my choices as Harry Potter, then perhaps you could remember Albus Dumbledore's memory and respect his choices.

[private to Aubrey R.]

Aubrey! Hello! I don't know yet if I know you really. I'm a friend of Kitane's. I'm Mingmei! It is nice to meet you and I hope that we can be friends, too. Did she share with you her sad news???????

Do you like coffee? Or tea?

[After this:] I am most certainly not a fan of the new approach. Is this what constitutes a programme in the present?

[Phone call to Aubrey]

Ring, ring.

[Locked to Mingmei]

Mingmei?

[Draco Malfoy]

Hi, Draco. You've been quiet lately, since we last talked. What's up?
[/Draco]

[Sirius]

...I've really said hi to everyone else except for you, Sirius. I guess you probably know everything, based on what I've heard from Remus and Da...and James. Um. I'm glad you're here. I know that sounds weird and strange, but to me...I'm really glad to see you here again.
[/Sirius]

[Narcissa Black]

Hello, Narcissa. Or Miss Black. I'm not sure which you'd prefer, but I'm guessing it's probably not Mrs. Malfoy, which is how I know you. I don't know how much you know about things that will come to be for the lot of you, but since I've been told that you're friendly with my father, I don't think he's very good at keeping secrets. Um. I think, maybe, we should all meet in person, Draco included.

[Private to James Potter]

I need to tell you something. Something you probably won't like. It's about her, Bellatrix. I...I don't know exactly how to tell you, either.
[/end private]

[Private to Draco Malfoy]

Draco, keep me far away from your aunt, got it?]

[/end]

[Added in after the first two comments from James, message to Lily Evans and Remus Lupin]

Um. hi. I have...news that I want to share with James, but I...don't know how he'll react to it. It's not nice or good news, that's for certain. It's to do with Bellatrix.
[/end]

[Public as Draco M.]
I've really had better days.

[Locked to Harry P]
Where have you been? We need to talk and we need to meet with these people.

Oh, and Mum is here. She's young but she remembers.

Now the added bonus, I think Tom R might be the Dark Lord HIM, at least if those books are correct. Those bloody things may be useful after all.

[Locked to Rose]
How is the Henry situation? Just tell me about something other than all this shite.

[From Lily P, whose quill work has no room for improvement.]

Finally.

[Locked to MWPP & Lily E P (just in case)]
Remus, must we really come fetch you back from your pack?

ETA: [Locked to Lily P/Marina S]
I don't know if you've made it through or not, but I've been informed that [...] it was Peter.

[Locked to Harry P]
What do you know of Peter, Harry?

It is that crazy time of the year it is! School is starting for students now and the store is very, very busy! I think that I have worked
hours the last week...I think that is more than most people! It is good for money, but it is still very busy.

Starting my junior year...it is also crazy, as they say! I cannot wait! How many people more are students?

Filtered message to Dad

So, um, did you work out a place for us to meet up, finally? Or would it help if I talked to Remus first, do you think?
