ORDER ONLY: ISS business
Nov. 29th, 2013 05:16 pmI think we ought to try and recruit Cedric for the Order.
We talk a lot since we got thrown together because of the Triwizard Tournament. He was worried that he'd get a bad reputation for competing against me after it was done, and that it'd hurt his family and chance at getting a good job, so we agreed that it'd be good for him if we looked like we were friendly, but we stopped having to pretend a while ago. Anyways. When he was recovering over summer hols, the stuff we talked about made me think he was sorting some things out. Like he's noticed how I treated Hermione, and once he talked a bit about how his younger brothers and sisters treated their muggleborn nanny just like any other person. And the way he talked about those things wasn't like he thought it was bad. Just something that made him think. And we talked about Umbridge a lot, of course, but we talked about Voldemort too. And what happened with Wood and his family, and the Fleets, and how easy it was for them to be reclassified, which he really didn't think was right at all.
It's pretty obvious that he's loyal to me, I mean, he's said as much, and showed it too, but I think there's something more. He's been really keen on the Galleon meetings now that we've started talking about the Protectorate more, and told me he was going to stick around on the weekends instead of going home so he could go to them. He's careful, I mean, who wouldn't be, and he's worried about his family getting into trouble if he does something wrong, but I think he's honest with me about stuff, and what I've heard from him so far is that he doesn't like what's going on. If we let him know there was something he could do about it, I think he'd want to help.
I've been talking to Hermione about it, and we thought one way we could approach him would be to have a Galleon meeting like we have been, and then wait until everyone else has left to show him that Hermione has a wand, and make sure he knows that I know about it and think it's okay.
I think he'll be okay with it too. And if he isn't, we can obliviate him.
