It occurs to me that you, of all our recent initiates, might find certain aspects of the information to which you now have access unpalatable.
While I cannot pretend to be practised at offering a comforting shoulder, if there are aspects of the material you are no doubt poring over that you find overly full of the foolish sentimentality that is the inevitable hallmark of any organisation so populated with Gryffindors and those deemed blood-traitors, I will offer what skill I have in explaining and contextualising the Order's efforts, their successes, and their failures. Please do also extend that offer to Miss Perks and Miss Parkinson; I thought it more suitable, given your familial connections and the reality of past discussions, to write you, but I am well aware you four may find yourselves struggling with the comparative lack of subtlety presented herein.
Allow me to say I am pleased that the induction of your cohort will offer a much-needed perspective to an organisation whose ideals and scruples occasionally, alas, outpace their execution. Though it can be nothing but bittersweet, and while I am certain the next several months will be a period of exceptionally difficult adjustment, you are welcome.
