Order Only: Private message to Draco

[alt_harry]

I saw Hydra's post, about your mother. And the Fidelius.

You can visit her now, yeah? Have you?

Sorry for not replying sooner. Been a bit of a mad day here, but looks like it was the same your way, too.

Yeah, I spent the morning with her, more or less. She was a bit emotional, as you might imagine.

It was weird to be back in the Manor. I don't know how, but somehow I'd forgotten how massive it is. But it didn't feel quite like going home again. I felt... anxious. I don't know, exposed or something.

[alt_harry]

Mad, but good!

That's weird that the Manor felt exposed. I mean, it's under Fidelius so only Order members can get in, it really should feel just as safe as 12GP. It's awfully big, though.

So are you staying in 12GP for now?

[alt_draco]

Exposed in a different sense. There I was, in my ancestral home, a traitor and not hiding it. That kind of exposure.

Yeah, I guess this feels more like home to me these days. For now.

[alt_harry]

Oh.

Yeah.

I can see that.

I wonder if that's how Sirius felt, when he first got back in to 12GP? I'm not sure if having a mad portrait screaming at you would make things better or worse.
