ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Severus Snape

Severus.

Neville came up to us after lunch today with a very specific request.

The long and the short of it is, he wants us to tell him everything, and then obliviate him after. He’s said he’d rather know what we do for an hour or two and forget than stay in the dark.

Did you know this was coming? Did he talk this over with you at all?

I hardly

Frank is asking Minerva and Arthur permission.

ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Terry Boot

Terry, love, I've a rather odd request for you.

Neville has approached us and asked us to tell him the truth about what we do, all of it, and obliviate him after. He figures this is the only way he'll get to know things before he's joined, even if it's only for a little while, and Frank and I are going to do what we can to honour his request. We've asked permission from Minerva and Arthur, so they know what's to happen, and Frank and I were talking about it and thought it might be nice for you to come along and tell Neville yourself about Moddey Dhoo. I think it'd do his heart good to see you, and to know you're with us, and to hear about how things are like straight from you.

Is that quite all right for you? Would you be willing to talk to him?

If you aren't, that's just fine. But if you are, Severus can swing by and pick you up. I don't believe you've had much opportunity to speak with him very often, but he's been working with Neville on Occlumency for a while now, and will be helping us with

with the obliviation.
