I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private Message to Ron Weasley

[alt_harry]

So. Where are you?

I told my person I was writing Cedric. I don't think he cares much as long as it's not someone else on my team.

He looks like he'd rather not be here. I don't blame him, I guess.

Yeah.

That works. I mean, to leave it alone unless it gets really last minute.

What do you think they'll make us do next? With the tokens? It was sort of weird how they made Thomas keep his separate like that.

Excellent question.

For one thing, it looks like you can't count on Dean being on your team for long. But if he's not, then maybe the teams will get broken up. Or we'll be asked to each name some people to give to a new team along with Dean.

Ugh. I hope they don't make him leader of a third team. That would be... Well, we'd all have to watch our backs.

I still think the thing about the tokens may not be so much what we have to do with the ones we found as what Dolohov and Desai might do with any of them we didn't find. That's why I was so keen to stay out until we'd got them all. Or all we could possibly locate.

Speaking of locators. I think D&D warded me to neutralise the locator charm my team's been using. Otherwise, they'd for sure be here by now. I'm not that far from camp. Unless they scattered everybody all over the forest and made them find each other first. But still. If that's the scheme, they'd have found their way to me and that's how they'd find each other.

Anywiz. About what we'll have to do next... seems like things are getting more serious with each day and the kind of fighting the exercises mean us to do. First we were 'killing' each other, but able to come back in the game pretty quickly. And then it was a longer time to lay out if you got killed. And then the thing yesterday about healing... they'll probably do that again and try to make it so we can't really get out of the killing and healing bits, right?

I really want to know what D&D thought of our truce. It's sort of unnerving that there wasn't any debriefing last night or this morning, yeah?

And today, they've got enforcers to fight. That's a big step from us throwing marking spells at each other.

What might they have us doing next week?

[alt_harry]

That's what I'm worried most about.

Like, it's funny, I don't think I'd have trouble if we were in a proper duel with someone, even if it meant we'd probably get our arses handed to us.

But if they have us doing stuff to Muggle people

you know

People who can't fight back

Or they put us in a place where we might have to seriously hurt each other

I mean, we're already sort of being careful, you know? You could tell Patil and Macmillan weren't happy with the order they were picked, but Macmillan's stayed pretty quiet about it, like if he said anything someone would yell at him or something.
