I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private Message to Hermione Granger

[alt_harry]

Hey.

How are you?

Are you doing okay?

They're keeping us really busy here. I've got to plan for a trip we're taking that'll last for a few days, and make a list of supplies and all, and I really wish you were here because you'd be really good at thinking about this sort of stuff.

Did you see what happened to Ron? And how he got in trouble for his private messages. And the Order's been talking lately about how some people at the Ministry were trying to read Draco's and

it just made me worried, is all. About what could happen. If they read ours. Yours mine and Draco's, I mean. And what would happen to you.

Anyways. I've been thinking about that. About a lot of things, really, but that's the thing that could get really bad really fast.

Let's just say I'm really glad you know how to Apparate.

It still makes me nervous, though.

We've been nervous about it for a while, though. I mean, the Ministry can look at anyone's Private Messages, anytime it likes. It's just political fear that keeps them out of yours. And you know they've always looked more at the messages to you than the ones you write, or the ones you write back and forth to me and Draco and your other friends.

I've been going to Grimmauld nearly every day and I talked about what happened with Mr Lupin. He said that even if they had a hundred people reading private messages, all the time, they couldn't check everything. The most likely thing was that Ron's just got sampled randomly, and they happened to find something. I mean, we know they can do that. That's why the twins made the lock in the first place.

I think we're still safe, those messages, I mean, for now.

Anyway, I'm all right. I'm just glad no one thinks of looking for me when you're not at Buckingham. And that Ellie always offers me supper because I figure the less people see me the less they will think to look, if that makes sense.

Anyway, how has it been? It sounds like you're doing loads of training. Is it useful?
