ORDER ONLY: Tomorrow

[alt_alice]

Sirius, Mac, Kingsley, Frank, you're going to reconvene at the rendezvous point tomorrow. The shipment is expected to arrive at 7:00 in the evening, so be prepared to arrive around five. Best of luck to all of you.

Tonks, love, I thought you and I could plan for going for our last baby, Stella, sometime this upcoming week. Which day would work best for you?

You are welcome. I must confess I have found the children to be far less of an irritant than I'd suspected.

And yet, they are, in a way, inspiring. Miss Parkinson, raised in the lap of luxury to profit from the worst of the abuses the Protectorate is designed to perpetuate, has renounced those teachings for the sake of her friends. Miss Granger, taught nearly from birth that she was nothing more than property, has bloomed into a bright and eager student — and is often heard, when no one who ought not hear is within earshot, directing Mr Potter as though they both believe she should be making the decisions for them both. Your children, even, having been raised hearing nothing but how their parents were blood traitors and criminals — outside the home, at least — having realised you are nothing of the sort, and having adopted our cause for their own. We have spoken before about how their resoluteness offers hope, and that hope has certainly counterbalanced the irritation that dealing with adolescent Sturm und Drang must inevitably produce.

My own adolescence, as I am certain you are well aware, was far from pleasant. I suppose I see in several of them the chance to assist someone else in making better decisions — despite the provocations.

I will not fail them. Not as others failed me
