Dorcas. When Father said the Auror he was working with had been killed, I never ever thought it could be Dorcas. Dorcas, Merlin. How bad a friend was I that Amalie had no idea that I knew her? We weren't close friends, but-

We never will, now.

I don't get it. She was still a trainee. Why would they match an informer to a trainee?

I can't figure out what to do. I know what I won't do: I won't hide and quit my job. I've worked too hard to get there. And I don't know if I can live with him now. We've just begun talking again. Just days ago it was quite the step because I wanted to see his wedding pictures.

And now I'm back in our childhood home and he's in danger and we're all potential targets.

Bloody hell.

[Warded to Father]

I took today off as sick leave but I'm going back to the clinic tomorrow.

I'm not sure about living here. The wards on my flat were upgraded not long ago ~~by Benjy~~, so it should be safe, I think.

I don't want to make it easy for them, that's not the idea. I just don't want to drop everything. I'll be careful. And I'd like to look through your home safety books. Any recommendation?

And Father, I just-
Why?

[Warded to Amalie]

I'm going back to work tomorrow. And I think I'm going back to my flat too.

You?

I have never wished to keep you from the things that you love. It is perhaps best not to appear aware of any attention at the moment, provided your wards may be depended upon. May I ask who was the last to upgrade them? I will select some books on the subject, as well.

As to the question of why, I do not wish my children or grandchildren to live in a world such as the one in which I grew up.

	Benjy did. Thank you. I remember your war stories, Father. I remember all the history lessons you taught us. But I also remember how much you hate war, and I can't reconcile it with this new picture. With you taking part of a war. Actively. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You do not see the reasoning in bringing a swifter end to an intolerable situation? I took an active part in the last war for a short time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is intolerable, I agree, and yes I'd like to see it come to an end now. Yesterday, even. But I don't like seeing you taking risks like that. ~~If this had happened just a month ago, before we~~ Have you been able to talk to someone else in the DMLE? Will you continue helping them? Will they give you protection? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think we'd both go crazy if we did. Will you go back to your flat as well? How good are your wards? Father asked me about mines. We should work out some sort of emergency plan, just in case. I'm not sure what, but we could talk about it with him. I admit that I worry about him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
