Maybe we should be going after their families instead. The Aurors. At least for now, to get them distracted. They're the ones killing our friends and families and taking away the people that we love. They should have to feel that too. If they're all distracted mourning it'll only leave them more vulnerable, I'd think.

Dad?

Ev Lily Evans is without a doubt a member of the Order. There's no reason otherwise that she should be able to break through the Imperius curse.

I still have her idiot coworker Imperiused. We can get information through her about if they're changing security at work and any questions the DMLE asked her. I figure we can wait a few days for things to calm down in case Lily's being watched and nab her then.

We have a situation.

Hey. I wasn't sure if you still wanted to have practice tonight or not because of   everything so I thought I'd ask.

I know it isn't something that any of us want to think about yet, but anything that you want or need done as far as the   services go, just talk to my father or me and we'll have it done.

I'm sorry, again, that this happened.

Hey Suz, got a sec?

The Prewetts are no longer an issue.

We're all healing up at Charley's. We'll all be fine.

You might want to stop by if you can. Your dad is kind of bad off -- he'll be okay, but he'd probably like it if you were here.

Look. I know you don't want to talk to me, and I don't really want to talk to you either. We don't get along and that isn't going to change and whatever, that's life. But I am sorry that for whatever reason you seem to think I attacked you recently, because I didn't. And I would've said something earlier had I known, but I didn't know that either. Being an arsehole doesn't mean you deserve to die or get attacked or whatever, because if that was the case I'd be a hypocrite for not thinking I deserve the same.

I don't know what happened, and frankly I'm fucking pissed that someone had the gall to impersonate me or WHATEVER happened, I don't know, and I wish I DID know because like I bloody need this on my record. And I know you probably don't give a shit and probably won't believe me anyway because you're you and I'm me, but I wanted to put it out there. And for the record, I am sorry about fifth year. It was a stupid thing to do and frankly I didn't even think it would really WORK and yeah. Twenty/twenty hindsight. Anyway.

I don't want to fight with you anymore. And try to stop pissing people off. I don't bloody agree with half the stuff that comes flying out of your mouth but I like getting dragged into the DMLE for something that happened almost five years ago even less.

How'd your exams go?

Do you know how to do the hex to make people puke glass?

Okay so mission mostly accomplished. I'm back home and almost healed up, so we should be just about set if you want to let the polyjuice wear off; thankfully I didn't get hit by anything permanent, and the gouge that got taken out of my forehead can just be covered with hair til that heals, but that should happen shortly so it likely won't be an issue anyway.

I know we had you at work in the morning, meeting up at the Ministry with Elliot then out to lunch, back to work, and then dropping photos from the masquerade off with Addie at work. Fill in the blanks for me; any specifics I should know? Any important conversations happen?


Thanks a lot for this, by the way. I definitely owe you.

Are you having lunch with Lottie on Monday?

Junia. Am I better looking than Sev?
