We were really together, it wasn't like with Hydra.

But

I couldn't tell her the truth. About anything. I didn't trust her enough. And she didn't exactly trust me either. And I knew I was making her a target and then she got a pin -- and that was awful. She didn't blame me, but we both knew it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been dating.

So I broke things off because

Anyone I like gets used against me. Sooner or later. Anyone. It's bad enough when it's you. Katie wasn't even in the Order.

Yeah. That must've been horrible. When she got the pin for the competition.

D'you think we should've told her about the Order?

D'you hear from her at all, now she's left school?

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_harry]

I don't. Or at least, I haven't.

I think not telling her about the Order was the right decision. She had a Galleon. If she'd wanted to know more -- I think she'd have let me know.

So, would you want to see her again after NEWTs? If she wanted to, I mean?

Or-

Is there anyone you fancy now?

There are girls I've noticed but

I can't

It's too risky. For anyone.

Sooner or later they'd hurt her to try to control me. They'd put her in front of me and cruciate her. They did it to Draco, they've done it to you, they did it to Hermione, they sent Katie the pin. I can't protect anyone except by not letting anyone get close to me.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

Alright. So no girlfriends. For now. Gives you another reason to get into the fight and get it won!

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

D'you ever think you'd want to have a shag with no strings attached, though?

I mean, well. The blokes in the department've got a place they go in New London. And, actually, there're some other places outside NL, too. No questions asked. No one talks. No one'd be a target afterwards. Just, y'know. Some galleons and as much time as you want to ask for.

I guess. I haven't been. But that's what I've heard.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_harry]

Oh, maybe. It sounds a little -- I don't know. I'll think about it.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Or, hey.

Here's something. I hear Ptolemy and Karo Baddock have a thing for inviting people over for y'know, three-way. Catchlove was saying. Anywiz, if you didn't mind Baddock, Karo's not hard to look at, and if you got Baddock painted with a target for getting too close to you... that'd be a right shame.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_harry]

Wait, you mean they both...? How does that even

It would certainly be an unusual first time, I guess.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Heh.

Yeah.

Something to think about. Even if you'd never do it, right?!
