It's been a while, hasn't it? I do apologize about that.
We've been working though. Justin especially. Making sure if anything happens within these walls, we'll have a safe place to fall back to.
Right now I have a job for everyone. It's small for now, but important. Many of us (I'm not talking about you, Seamus) have been quiet for too long. If nothing else, it's time to start making your fellow man uncomfortable. Remind them that their perfect world isn't so perfect. Let them in on the truth that if muggles and Muggleborns were better treated and represented, their pureblooded family members might not have died in the most recent sickness. That Muggleborns and their knowledge and experiences have value. Remind them that by being locked in, we are at the complete mercy of the Ministry. And when incompetence strikes, like it did during the plague, people pay with their lives.
Remind them that this isn't what things should be. Comment on what if it was their children dying? Or being denied healthcare, or education? Or a mere Christmas present? Ask when the last time they were ever directly assaulted by a muggle or Muggleborn in their lifetime?
Even if they fight, or disagree, or even ignore you, they will think about it after you're gone, I assure you. Words echo long after they're spoken.
There will be plans for an in person meeting, but not until the new year. Keep your coins close, friends. Stay safe.

You free today then? I'd like to see you. Might help me take my mind off some shit too.

You wouldn't happen to have any more tea, do you?
