Who: Alice and Gideon. What: Alice has to tell Gideon the news about Geoffrey. When: February 29. Where: The Order safe house.
To say Alice was not looking forward to this was a massive understatement. She wasn’t sure if Gideon could handle this - he was barely handling the deaths of Lynette and the baby. (If one could count his coping mechanisms as handling it.) How was he going to handle knowing Geoffrey was a Ministry mole, and Gideon was picked specifically as Geoffrey’s way into the Order to bring it crashing down?
Letting out a long, slow sigh, Alice stepped out of the fireplace at the safe house and closed her eyes for a moment. There were so many memories here of Frank’s family. Alice stroked her hand over her stomach, promising herself that one day this house would have some happy memories in it again.
“Gideon?” she called out, “it’s Alice.” Even though this was the farm house with the Fidelius and Dumbledore as Secret Keeper, she still had her wand in her hand. Sort of a relaxed alertness if you will. “Where are you?” she asked as she made her way further into the house.
