Severus,
I haven't seen you since you've been back. Sorry I left so suddenly. I had a meeting with Father was feeling homesick. Or something. How was your conference? How's Remus? What happened to him? Everyone was rather worried.
Potter's invited me to join the Order. Or to attend an introductory meeting. Or whatever. I don't know how I

On speaking terms with Potter again, then? I believe that is a poor choice, but do as you will. Be cautious.
Do you want to join the Order? It is not a decision to be made lightly. Minerva is as ruthless in her own way as Albus ever was. Are you prepared to ally yourself against your father? You will not be allowed to remain neutral, there, and be a member of the Order. Whatever you know about Lucius' activities, you will be expected to share with those whose intent it is to thwart him. Come to the meeting - I think it is a fine idea for you to have an idea of it before making a decision. But think carefully before you commit yourself ( ... )

I don't know. I don't know what I want. I feel like I'm on the verge of some kind of existential crisis. And of course you go and put things into perspective. Can I stand against my father? Without him killing me, I mean?
I suppose Tuesday, then. I can exercise my patience until then.

You are stronger than you think you are. But Lucius is very powerful. He is also your father, and I do not think you have stopped wishing to please him. You are very young, yet, and you have suffered a great trauma from which you have not had time to recover. I don't think this is the best time for you to make such an important decision. Your father seems to at least want to make the appearance of social civility. I think you are safe enough, for the present moment, maintaining your neutrality.
Tuesday it is. Do try not to tax yourself in the exertion of your patience. Think of all the galleons you will manage to make me spend on you when the time comes. Shall we meet in Diagon Alley? What time?

What if I don't want to be bloody neutral? What if I'm tired of being a coward all the time, playing it safe and oh my merciful Merlin, I'm turning into a fucking Gryffindor You're probably right. You usually are.
Diagon Alley is fine. How about noon?

Whenever you're free, I should think. I'm always free so there's no need for me to clear out time in my calender.

Everything's going... all right, I suppose, yes. Not quite what I'd call well, yet, but all right. Though the full
Please do visit. I'm sure we can spare some time to entertain you. Though what's happened to your friends? They seemed willing enough to entertain you while you were here - have they gone home already?
We're trying not to, but it's hard, you know. I think Perry's been crying himself to sleep since you left.

You're living with Gryffindors the fabulous trio. Of course you miss us.
As for what you haven't heard, there's not much to report. Well, nothing worth reporting. Lupin's a little more bearable... still not himself. The rest have been rather boring, even needling Zak has become pathetic.
I suppose I find myself noticing your absence... I have no one to pick on.
-P.D.
