Poppy's calming draught helps. I may have a more coherent reaction in a day or so.
Oh, Alice. It's just such a foolish mixture of shock and pleasure and terror and weepiness and
I will never forget the look of utter contempt on the faces of Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape when they left. How could I have made such a blunder? I thought the arrangement with Luna and the Browns would suffice. Some of the others might not believe it, but the floo was warded, to everyone but the Order and family.
Well, except Percy, because the Burrow's wards have been changed since--you know.
Merlin, Alice, I'm frightened and delighted and so very sorry.
And oh, I wish Arthur could have been here tonight.
I keep thinking of him too. What he would've thought about all of this, and how very proud he would've been to see his daughter look over at us and say, 'Of course I'm joining in!' as if it made all the sense in the world.
And don't keep hitting bludgers at yourself, Molly. We can certainly learn from this, of course, and take more precaution in the future should we have any more meetings in the Burrow, but what's done is done, and no harm came of it. In fact, something very good came of it.
