Order Only

Was anyone truly surprised at the revelation that Sirius Black is a dog? It is hardly news that he uses Lupin as a tool to harm others when he can. Lupin, of course, being a man of strong passions, cannot be held to blame.

Dora, you have my sympathies, though I doubt you were as surprised as Minerva initially seemed to think.

I thought we were supposed to be planning ways to get the Lord Protector out of power. Guess there's plenty of time for that later, for some.

What was for pudding?

Traditional: plum and brandy set alight. Probably Transfigured, but plenty of hard sauce covered that up rather well. Molly outdid herself.

Thank you, Molly.

You're welcome. I think.

Just the perfect topic for Christmas dinner? Perhaps if you'd joined us we would have done something more productive than engaged in lurid speculations about each other's private lives.

Besides, the garden's going along, I think we've got several good connections to the underground in the north and from what I'm hearing, we only need a light touch to turn some of your old friends against each other.

Wasn't entirely sure I was welcome. Not the sort of thing Snape worries about, you see.
