I haven't written my thoughts down in a while. I'm sorry, for whoever depends on this for communication with me. I've moved in with James and Sirius and the boys. It's a fantastic time; I only wish everyone could come to our late night parties (that usually involve most of us at least becoming tipsy and falling asleep in the downstairs

Private to Order

[me_alice]

Lily, you are smart and capable. I know what it's like to feel like you should be doing more, but the Order is only so strong.

We can only act on what intelligence we have, and right now, that's not too much. The most important things you can do is to keep your eyes and ears open and to keep spreading the word, that these are not people that we can just let do what they please.

If Dumbledore asks me to do something, I'll ask if you can join me. How's that?

I just feel stupidly frustrated. I know I shouldn't. They aren't my family, after all. It still hurts to see it, though, and I feel so useless sitting here doing nothing.

Thank you so much, Alice. I won't let you down, I promise. In fact, I'm trying to figure out where I can go to get some quality listening time in.

Take care of Frank. Love to you both.

It doesn't matter whose family they were, you know that. What's wrong is wrong, and they were good people.

I'm trying my best. I just don't know if my best does anything for him right now. I can't bring them back.

He probably just needs some time to gather his thoughts. I didn't want to see anyone when... it happened to me. He'll be back soon. He loves you. You know he can't stay away from you. Just keep baking him goofy cupcakes and being there for him when he's ready to talk.

So many things are wrong, now. I keep thinking "I wish I were back at Hogwarts", but things weren't really better then. I just didn't have to see them, or deal with them. I think this is better than ignorance.

I can send over some flowers I've been experimenting on, if you like. Maybe they can make one or both of you smile for a little while.

There's a market nearby. Let me know if you need any time out of the house and we can make a date.
