alt_gredforgeWe figure Dad's come to Professor McGonagall's office by now and so you've had the Unbreakable Vow lifted.
The two of us just wanted to say thanks. For taking that Vow and living under that danger for as long as you did to protect the Order, all while you were taking all the shite you have to take living in the Protectorate as a muggleborn. Keeping secrets from everybody and for everybody. All while trying to help us, under the I Solemnly Swear lock. And trying to squeeze in a proper wizard's education, on the sly, no less, on top of it. AND being Marvolo's servant.
Honestly, we don't know how you did it. Hermione, we're so sorry...we had no idea how hard it must have been, what sort of pressures you were living under. We've been members of the Order for only three weeks, and now that we're keeping secrets from the kids on the I Solemnly Swear lock while still trying to help them, we're really starting to understand--how did you keep your hair from turning white, anyway?
Neville's in the same situation, isn't he? Sort of. Not as badly, of course, because he's not a muggleborn. And he's not a proper member of the Order, either. But he's keeping secrets from both sides, too. Have you ever--no. Of course, you couldn't talk about it with him at all, because of the Vow. Blimey.
Anyway, that's all, that's what we wanted to say.
You're a bloody heroine as far as we're concerned, Hermione.
Someday, if we have anything to say about it, everyone will know it.

I didn't really have friends before you all, you know, I mean, I had some friends, but not magical ones. They keep people pretty separated out in the camps so you can't start a revolution. Well, the people who move between camps anyway, like my parents and me were, so you can see that even though it doesn't feel right I never got used to telling people everything all the time.

Date: 2012-04-19 02:40 pm (UTC)It is sort of weird, talking with the adults, isn't it? Different. Maybe it's a bit easier for us, now that we're of age, and so maybe they see us more as adults ourselves.
Except we're not quite used to that, either. We keep expecting Mum to use our ears for windchimes for calling people by their first names or something.
We really hope you'll get to see your Mum again.
