The roof is leaking right over my desk. I wish I had time to fix it. This new Ministry building is just a bunch of rubbish, I swear. It's too small and smells like mildew. If I had a spare minute to breath I would go around and try to freshen it up a little bit.

I'm also horrible with all sorts of basic house repair + freshening spells, so... I'll just stick to kicking Dark Wizard butt.

Busy, busy, busy. All the time. Every day. Honestly, maybe one day I'll be able to see someone. But the wedding! I'll see you all then! How exciting! I have to run for now, though! Let me know how everyone is! I miss you all.

How you holdin' up, mate?

We've had to reorganize the partners list due to a few changes and recent new recruits. So take a look and let me, Remus, Sturgis, Arthur, Bill, McGongall, or any of those types if there is a problem with your pairing. There shouldn't be, as we took all sorts of things into consideration.

Hermione + Ron
George + Fred
Bill + Charlie
Harry + Neville
Vati + Lavender
Sirius + Remus
Dean + Seamus
Viktor + Luna
Tonks + Ginny
Eliza + Alicia
Penny + Milda
Oliver + Katie
Cho + Vicky
Regulus + Snape
Lee + Padma
Mad Eye + Sturgis
Fawcett + Doris
Roger + Spinks
Arhtur + Kingsley
Rissa + Hannah
Cliff + Angie

I know that some of them are pretty dramatic changes, but we really had to reorganize and we've seen who works better with each other than others.

At least comment saying that you've seen the change and are aware of it so that we don't have any confusions when we do partner training at the next meeting ( which is in two days, remember! )

Other than that, have a great day!

Much love,

Tonks

Alright! After much deliberation and background checking, everyone welcome Eliza Flint to the Order! She's determined to help, and we're excited to have her with us. Please make her feel welcome! She'll be at the meeting tonight so don't forget to introduce yourselves if you don't already know her!

Also, we've got an edited partnering list coming up, so keep an eye out for that for updates as to who you'll be paired with for future missions.

And so all of you know, Viktor and Luna are safely home after quite a bit of action. We don't have the locket like we'd planned, but after a few surprises Viktor came home to get some help. They're both fine, and we'll get our hands on that locket soon enough.

[Private to Remus]

I saw the prettiest dress the other day... and I don't know what possessed me, but I bought it. It's rather simple, but I'm in love with it. We have a dress, you have a suit I'm sure. Can we just get married? Something small and just a few friends. We can get someone to get the bands for us. I've been saving all my extra money.

Through Cliff we've learned that an attack is going to be happening at St. Mungo's. We're not entirely sure when but we do need help keeping a lookout for any suspicious behavior. I've already assigned certain groups of Aurors to watch the area, and Sturgis has already assigned groups of his people as well, but we're going to need more. The more people we have the more likely it is that we will be able to capture a few of the Death Eaters, and the less likely it will be for more patients to get hurt. We've made the following list of pairs/groups for the next two weeks. Please let me know if you won't be able to be there at that time. We've tried our best to remember your schedules and keep in consideration any business outside of work you deal with. Obviously if you already work for either me or Sturgis you won't be assigned on here, you'll get you assignments at work.

May 2nd [5:00 pm - 12:00] - Parvati/Lavender
May 3rd [1:00 am - 10:00] - Dean/Seamus [10:00 am - 5:00 pm] Oliver/Katie [5:00 pm - 1:00 am] Arthur/Kingsley
May 4th [1:00 am - 9:00 am] - Penny/Romilda [9:00 am - 6:00 pm] - George/Fred [6:00 pm - 1:00 am] - Charlie/Bill

We'll go until then.

Please meet the person we've paired you with at either of your flats. Make sure that you keep an eye out for anything before, during, and after you're there.

This is critical. Do your best and be careful.

-Tonks

I had today off, but I've got to run into the office to speak with Percy Mr. Weasley really quick. Well I hope it's really quick. I've actually got to leave now but---

Doris, you can room with me! I need a roomie as well and seeing as I can't think of anyone else to move in with... you prefer to keep your place? Or do you want to stick with mine? Fwoopsy will be glad to have a friend around more often. I am working so much lately.

Kingsley - That coffee shop that we go to sometimes on the corner down by the Ministry entrance? Go there at 5 o'clock. A gorgeous damsel should be there waiting for you. [winking smiley]

Harry and Ron - I've got a few more things you should look at for the Brocklehurst case. I left them in a file on your desks. Get to them as soon as you can? It's important.

I have to run! Don't want to keep him waiting!

[Hexed Extremely Private to Order Members]

We haven't been doing anything, eh? Like Ollie said, what Order are you part of?

In case you haven't noticed, we are doing everything that we can. Let me remind you of what extra things we've been doing.

Remus; He's just recently been mauled to death and brought back to life. Perhaps some of you have forgotten this detail? He's still in pain, and the fact that people are acting like right out gits and practically giving everyone who's worked so hard for this Order a slap in the face, Remy has every right to get pissy with you people. He's working as a teacher during training meetings. But oh, he's been doing nothing?

Kingsley; He's working double duty for both Ministers. In other words, he's working his bloody ass off. He's ensuring their safety and doing about a million other things at the same time. He's also teacing you ungrateful gits. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Charlie; He's got a job in Romania where to be quite frank, he runs, works, screams, fights his head off with animals that are a thousand times the size of you and blow deadly fire. But at the end of the day he takes the time to come teach you twits a trick or eight. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Arthur; He's Head of a Department, and now that I'm over the Aurors I can really appreciate just how hard this all is, even if I'm not at his level. He's at work all day, goes home to take care of his wife, and then goes to these meetings to train the lot of you. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Mad-Eye; To be quite honest, I don't think half of you deserve his attention at all. He may not be employed by the Ministry, but I'll have you know that he does more than 90% of my Aurors. And after a long day of hunting down the people that are hurting our numbers, he comes to meetings to help train you lot. Maybe it's just me, but if I could be trained once more by the most amazing spell-caster I've ever met, I would be a little more humble. And oh yeah, he's doing nothing?

Bill; He works his arse off as well, 99% of the time out of country in some bleeding desert or inside pyramids with freakier things than most of you have ever seen. And after hours and hours of that, he comes home, takes care of his wife and twin babies that are rather needy, and then goes to Order meetings to help train you against the Undead things that are, in case you haven't read the paper lately, back for more fun. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Sturgis; Sturgis, just like me, is over a large group of people, larger than the Aurors in fact. He helps Remus with the Order day and night, in between meetings, missions for work, missions for the Order, and taking time to do something that maybe he needs to do to survive... like eating, and then comes to every meeting to help train who again? Oh yeah, you ungrateful lot. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Viktor; He's got double duty of Quidditch practice. And some of you may say, oh hell, so what? Quidditch isn't important at times like this. But in case you haven't heard, Viktor is the number on player in the world, and I don't know about you, but if it weren't for something exciting other than Order meetings to keep me happy sometimes, I'd be going mental over here. So between a national and semi-national practice every day of the week, and his current mission with Luna to find the last bit of Horcrux that we need to win this war, the fact that he takes the time to come to all of the Order meetings and train you people with knowledge that most of you didn't know existed besides Mad-Eye, Snape, and Regulus, is pretty impressive to me. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Severus; Maybe you just don't pay attention to other peoples' journal entries. But Harry has said before that Severus is working with him on the Occlumency deal. Along with that he provides us with any potion that we could ever dream of needing, and he half of the reason that we still have Remus with us today. Without him, we would be lacking one more, and for all we know, Harry could be dead already. He's also teaching at these meetings and showing you just what it's going to be like to face a Death Eater. But oh, he's doing nothing?

Regulus; He's been with us for a matter of months and he's given everything he has, his time, his patience, his knowledge to this Order. He's proven what his worth is to us, despite his Mark, so what have you all proven to us? That you think we are sitting around doing nothing? He's working his arse off to help you guys. But oh right, he's doing nothing too.

Cliff; Maybe some of you don't know, but he runs a hospital known as St. Mungo's. That's an all day job, which days of the week, he is there all day for! After just joining the Order he's given us everything he's got to help us out, and for those of you that have been to the training meetings, you should know that if you're wounded in battle, you now know of some way to fix it rather quickly. But riiiight, he's been doing nothing.

Harry; He certainly is too humble for his own good some times, and I'm going to stick him in here, too. For those of you that were in that DA thingymajigger, you already know what he's taught you and how much it's helped. In between work, having his head split in half as Voldemort gets pissed at who knows what, and being taunted by the public for not destroying him last time, he takes the time to come and help train you, despite his lack of confidence in what he's doing. But oh yeah, he's doing nothing.

Me; Not trying to float my own boat, because I'm certainly not, but I'm in the middle of trying to reorganize an Auror department to better suit the needs of all of us. After a day filled with meetings and running about to read paperwork in between life threatening missions, I run as fast as I bloody can to get to Order meetings on time and teach you everything that I can to keep you people safe. Oh fine, if you insist! I'm doing nothing.

I'm sorry, but I think it's time we pull our act together and start doing something right? Because obviously we've all been sitting around on our butts watching our mates get hurt like sitting ducks.

Open your eyes.

WE ARE DOING SOMETHING.

Merlin, it's like nothing can make us happy for too long. We get Marissa back and Katie is attacked. The poor thing... we're pushing for anyone who can to go visit her in the hospital. The poor girl needs friends in there at all times. Cliff has been kind enough to let more then five visitors in at a time. Please, please, please give her your support.

In business matters, we've still had no success with the Mandy Brocklehurst murder in January. There are no clues as to who committed the murder. We've done everything we can... it's looking impossible. We're doing our best.

I'll be at the office all night if anyone needs me... the chance of me getting away anytime soon isn't looking good.

I just got promoted. PercMr. Weasley just pulled me aside early this morning and asked me if I would become Head Auror. Well, it wasn't really asking.. by the tone in his voice it sounding more like 'You ARE going to do this'. I don't know.

But I'm nervous. I don't think I'm a bad Auror, in fact I know that I'm pretty good. But Head? What if I screw things up somehow? I don't want to screw things up.

I went outside last night and sat on Remus' little porch. But I couldn't see our star. I'm trying not to worry, I'm trying to believe that everything is fine. It's just mother nature trying to decieve me and, you know, make me worried.

I better get back to work, but I can't focus, and there's a commotion. Wonder what's---[huge ink blot]

I know that maybe to the rest of you it's the lamest thing in the universe, but I think it's amazingly perfect. Especially when it was Remus' idea.

So the day that he left for his mission I went over to see him, and we had dinner together and just snuggled. And being me, the worrier as of late, I kept bringing up the idea of what if he gets hurt. And being Remus, the assurer type, he kept telling me that everything would be fine.

So we are sitting out on this patch of grass on top of our cliff, where he brought me the first time he changed and I got to see him, and there was this really bright star in the sky. So he told me that that is our star, and that as long as I can still see it in the night sky that he was alright.

So it's still been there, and I keep telling myself that everything is alright, because it has to be. But it's so hard without him. Maybe I am too attached to him, but I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I keep crying randomly at work, and I don't even mean to!

I'm so worried. It's been a month and a half since he left. Should it really be taking this long?

We (Minerva, Kingsley, Remus, and Arthur) have come up with partner assignments for you all. We want to make sure that when something comes up, everyone can be accounted for. The person you are paired with is your responsibility to stick with should any battles come up. Watch their backs, and help them out. Also, if any missions come up, which we already have quite a few ready to go after Remus leaves for his, you will be going with this person. We have tried to pair you with someone that has strengths that are your weaknesses and such. No complaining! Here they are:

Hannah - Oliver
Hermione - Ron
Fred - Angelina
Viktor - Luna
Tonks - Charlie
Parvati - Seamus
Penelope - Victoria
Cliff - Samantha
Harry - Hestia
Remus - Lavender
Bill - Katie
George - Ginny
Kingsley - Arthur
Roger - Alicia
Colin - Megan
Stephen - Dennis
Romilda - Kenneth
Dean - Padma
Lee - Neville

Remus... you know how you said once that you fool proofed your house, and then said you were kidding?

Did you really foolproof your house? I noticed just now that I've never tripped or broken anything there recently...

On another note, Fwoopsy has started shedding. Is that what they call it? Molting? Something.. what is it called? ANYway! So he's mhelting. There; a mix! And so his feathers are everywhere, and one of them came flying down from his little cage just as I inhaled really deep to keep from sneezing..

AND IT FLEW INTO MY MOUTH! And now it's stuck in my throat.. and I've been trying to get it out by drinking water.. but it won't even go down!

”Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.”


[Private to Order Members/Against Harry]
I’m worried about Harry. I mean I’m worried about everyone these days, but as he’s most likely not going to tell anyone I figure that I’ll help him out and tell you guys myself. We need someone to help him with Occlumency, and I’m not talking about eventually, we need someone to help him now. He collapsed on us the other day in the office because of the pain from his scar and flashes of another room…he says there was nothing else, just an empty room that he didn’t recognize. And I feel horrible because I know it’s the last thing he wants is for people to worry about him, but honestly! Can you blame me? Kingsley even had to pull him out of a mission because his headache was getting so extreme and he could hardly function.

I know we all trust him, and I know that we all believe in him… but there’s only so much that one guy can take ya know? I’m not saying that others haven’t gone through hard things, as we all know that we’ve all suffered to one extreme or another, but I think that if he could succeed at the Occlumency some of the pain would go away. I mean that sounds right, right? The Dark Lord can’t get to him that way; they won’t be connected if he masters the skill.

Severus, I think we need you to try again. I know that you two aren’t likely to get along during it, but we need you to help. You’re the only one that knows how to do this stuff.

I had this brilliant plan to be so good this year and get all of my Christmas shopping done early.. but as this is me we're talking about.. it isn't done yet. In fact, to be completely honest, it hasn't even started yet. And I feel horrible! Because by the time I get out there and look around it's going to be packed with loonies and I'm going to go mental.. Of course, I guess I could always change into a little old lady and people would be nice and get out of my way and help me across the street.. but I would have to walk slower! And act sort of crippled.. and that would take even longer. No. I'll just do something weird with my hair so that when I cross the street I look wild and people stop to let me pass because they're too busy staring.

Brilliant plan.

Except not so much.

On a side note, I've had my hair red for the past few weeks. You know? To see what it's like? And I absolutely adore it. I think I'll keep it this way for awhile!

{Hexed Private to Self}

To be completely honest.. I never thought that watching a werewolf at late hours of the night would be so.. frightless? It wasn't scary.. it was almost like a natural feeling to sit there with him. He was beautiful in every way imaginable, and the more I watched him the more I loved him, if that's even possible. I love him. And I want more out of this relationship.. but he was so reluctant to start it at all.. I'm afraid that if I push him too far he won't want this anymore. I want to be with him forever... but does he want the same?

{/Hexed Private to Self}


{Hexed Private to Order Members}

With Harry's scar acting up like it has.. maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I worry about large gatherings now. That New Years Ball coming up, we need to have more Aurors there, but I don't want the Ministry to think we think something is wrong. Alerting the public and scaring them about any possibility of.. this whatever it is wouldn't be wise. Can we count on all of you to be there for the Ball? Just in case? Kingsley has already requested the presence of our best Aurors, some of them giving up parts of vacations for this.. but I for one would feel better knowing that the Order is there.

If you dont find it in the index, look very carefully throughout the entire catalog.

What!? Are they serious?

I get this random catalog in the mail, and I get all excited because there is this really cute shirt on the front cover.. so ofcourse I look through it and cant find it, but that is just MY luck isnt it? So I go to the index, figuring that that will help.. and that is what it says!

What sort of people advertise for a shirt and IT IS NOT EVEN IN THE RUDDY CATALOG.

Grr.

Why is my luck so horrible lately? I know I am normally a klutz, but falling down the stairs at work? Honestly? I nearly broke my neck.. And then when I went to use the toilet, THEY WERE ALL OUT OF ORDER. This is all in one day. What else could happen?

I totally just jinxed myself didnt I?
