Order Only: Private Message to Sirius and Mrs Longbottom

Hallo,

I've had a letter from the Ministry, inviting me to spend the holidays as an intern in International Magical Relations.

I intend to accept, of course, but wanted to let you know. If there's anything I could do for the Order while I'm in the Ministry, what, I should be pleased to do it. At the very least, I thought it would present an excellent opportunity to meet Bill, Jeremy and Auror Lamont in the context of a workplace.

I say, I don't expect International Magical Relations will be fraught with intrigue but I thought perhaps I might learn more about the warding systems, which might be useful.

Of course, I don't expect to have any reason to go to MLE, but I'm quite confident that my Occlumency would be up to the task if I were to find myself faced with a Legilimens.

If there's any other information you'd like to hear about the internship, I'm happy to oblige.

Order Only: Private Message to Harry

Harry,

I say, I've just remembered that Neville wanted to read A Christmas Carol before the season's past us. If we wait to finish Pure Victory on Friday, there shan't be time for the other, what.

The story's rather short, old man. How much more of Pure Victory do you think we've got to go? I know we've exams for the end of term but what if we were to try to finish the book on Wednesday or Thursday, and read A Christmas Carol on Friday?

Wednesday might work, if we think we could finish before Astronomy.

What do you think?
