I mean, I've never been really great at blending in, y'know? People always see me in a room--that tall, gangly-looking ginger bloke, right? But when I'm a snake, I can pretty well move around unseen. (Well, as long as no one catches a glimpse of bright red sliding round the corner of the potted palm. It helps if the lights are a bit dim.)
And I'm good with a wand, but I'm not the best wand in the Order. Don't get me wrong. I'm used to not being the best at anything. I mean, I grew up with brothers who're better at every damn thing. Only, it's nice to have one thing I really can do that pretty much no one else can. Shame we don't really need that kind of spying all the time. I mean, it's useful when we do, but the rest of the time, I'm just looking to train with the Aurors and hope that sometimes I end up being in the right place to know something useful before it's too late to help.
