Re: Sirius/Remus/Regulus
No, he's not fine. I don't think he's been fine for a very long time, even before being thrown into the future. I'm just not sure he'll listen to anyone trying to tell him otherwise. Or trying to offer help he doesn't think he needs, since he's happy to self-medicate with Ogden's. He'd gotten better after he and Draco got together. But, if Draco was the mitigating factor...
Question, do we really need the international governments right now? We have the money in Gringotts. International merchants seem willing enough to deal with us, while the Confederation can even be bothered to acknowledge us. We won't be able to be a player on the international stage for quite some time yet. As long as we're more focused on surviving, I guess I don't understand the importance of playing to the expectations of governments that seem perfectly happy to ignore us.
