Jamie just laughed. What else was he going to do? Deny it? He wasn't that much of a hypocrite. Jamie knew he was good, knew what he was good at, and saw no reason to hide that. In fact, with his family, shouting it from the Astronomy Tower was often the only way to react because otherwise someone was going to wonder what was wrong, what you were hiding. "Sure, we can say that if that works for you," he agreed easily after a moment. Why not?
"Sounds about right." He could see it, actually. That was the scary part. And neither his father or his aunt would understand why no one else wanted to do things their way. It was like trying to explain to Harry that he had a legacy. He just couldn't understand it. "And they'd probably still get some kind of state funeral out of it."
It was Jamie's turn to shake his head. "No, he gets that communication is necessary, but he doesn't understand the way it works. I tried talking to him about strategy and unified messages and got a blank stare." He snorted softly. "Because of exactly that." Sometimes he thought his dad had decided that since he'd saved the world (or at least Britain), he got to tell them what was right and what wasn't and couldn't understand when someone didn't agree with his assessment. "Maybe you should. All of Aunt Hermione's organizational skill and better people skills than all of them together. But, maybe Scorpius can coordinate with Remus and Regulus and the cataloguing to make sure we aren't running out? I have a feeling that even if they give the day-to-day over to the elves to handle like Harry asked, they'll still have their fingers in the work, since they started it for their own purposes, not just to follow Harry's lead in looking for clues." He hadn't really had a chance to talk extensively with Regulus, yet, but he'd talked to Remus early on and seen the quiet determination there.
