[Filtered: Order Members only]: I'll not lie and say that the kidnapping of the children and our inability to track down any leads hasn't been keeping me awake at night. I've been doing a lot of thinking, more so than normal, and I think it's about time I went on a small sidequest of sorts, seeing what information I can find. I'll be gone for only a few days, nothing to worry about. If I can find some more information on Dolohov, even better. I don't like the idea of dear Miss Jones going after him alone, whether she can handle him or not.
Perhaps on my way back I could stop in the Burrow and see Bill; he had mentioned something about getting together at the last meeting, and the idea of a moment to relax, rare as it is in these troubled times, is a tempting one. It's been a while since we've talked, and I'm sure I could use the company. [/Filter]
[Private]: I've... I've been thinking a lot about Angelique lately. Seeing Bill at the meeting, hearing him talk about his sister... it's bringing back a lot of memories I'd rather not face. Bill reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age, only with more talent with the ladies, and it's probably the reason why I took him under my wing, all those years ago. He cares for Ginny with all his heart, and it's obvious.
Angelique and I, we were about the same number of years apart as Ginny and Bill are. Even though she couldn't do magic, Angelique was still caught in the crossfire... killed by the Death Eaters, and for what? Mum never recovered from her death, and my father and I tried our hardest to take care of her. It was the reason why I joined the Order. It was the reason why I became who I am...
...Thinking about this is leading me nowhere. At any rate, I'll not let Bill become me. He doesn't need the bitterness, the guilt. He doesn't have to live this life, and I'll do anything in my power to keep him, and Ginny, from it. [/Private]
