Order Only: Communications

[alt_severus]

While the rest of you lot have been wringing your hands about long-term strategy and squabbling endlessly about tactics necessary to achieve interim goals, Miss Granger has applied herself to one of the problems that have plagued operations since the Order's inception: communication. I have examined her solution and found it charmingly unsophisticated, but otherwise quite adequate from both ease-of-construction and operational security standpoints.

As Miss Granger is entirely too modest to advance her proposition to the group as a whole, I will take the decision out of her hands: Miss Granger, when you have a moment, kindly explain.

Private Message to Sirius

[alt_hermione]

Are you coming up to Hogsmeade this weekend? Harry's been wondering if he'd see you. We could show you the coin then. He's got one and Draco Malfoy, too, but they know that I helped make them and they're both fine with that. Draco's changing a little bit, I think, though mostly he's just worried that people will figure out that Harry and I are--more like friends than not, I suppose. I don't know quite what we are because, well, you know.

But I know Mr Lupin wasn't very happy you came last time so if you can't get away we can make sure you get one to look at. Only I don't think it's right for you or Mr Lupin or the Longbottoms to have the same coins we all have, only because someone might want to say something on the coins that--well, we have to have some things that are just ours, don't we?

Besides, it really is just things like "Meet at the lake after lunch on Saturday" and "Come to the library after supper to revise for Charms." Nothing that would be all that interesting to someone who isn't at Hogwarts.

But I think Harry would love to see you, if you could come.

Remus wasn't happy because it was right after a full moon and there were--other things he wasn't happy about just then. It's fine.

Tell Harry I'll meet you at the stile on the end of the High Street, past Dervish and Banges, about one o'clock on Saturday.

See you then.
