I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Harry asked me the other day if we could talk.
About Sirius.
Apparently, Sirius Black doesn't see it fit to write me a proper letter, but he'll certainly tell other people that I write him, and that we ought to talk. Or something.
Hermione, what is he after? I mean, like I said, he doesn't really write back. He sent me an owl once, but no message, and when he sent the books it was like one sentence. And, well, he's hidden some random things meant for me in the Grim Truth, and he answered that one question you asked him for me. But that's it.
I don't know why he doesn't like to write me directly, but it's very frustrating.
He's very frustrating.
What does Harry think about Sirius?
What does he write him about?
What do you think he'll ask me?
He's going to try and talk in Cambridge, but only if we can go somewhere private.

rubbish
that's what it is
no subject
Date: 2012-04-11 04:21 pm (UTC)I really do.
But you're right. Even if he had his reasons. It was rubbishy of him.
And he told Harry about the records too, earlier. Or just as good as when he sent Pig, because in the note he told him to tell me I could keep them. So apparently, anything I tell him is fair game for Harry.
And I don't really like that very much.
I haven't told him anything about any of you, by the way. So the only one who'd get in massive trouble is me. But still.

Date: 2012-04-11 04:39 pm (UTC)That could be fun, actually.
Dear Traitor Big-Head, it's a shame you're such an eejit. But that's no excuse.
Only. You don't suppose he means for you trust Harry with secrets about what you really think? I mean, does Black think you should be trying to turn Harry against the Protector or whatever? How dangerous would that be?
I mean, sure, I think Harry doesn't think like they mean him to. About Hermione or about other stuff, but-
Well, it's hard to tell how far that goes, really.
And he turned on me enough times, I gave up, yeah? Cause I don't know where he'd draw a line. If they pushed him. His father or the others. It just didn't seem worth it, y'know. Because he didn't really seem to want to be friends. Or only sometimes, and that's naff.
Anywiz, do you think that's what Black wants you to do?

Date: 2012-04-11 04:49 pm (UTC)What his line is, and how I avoid crossing it. It's one thing to like ONE person with muggle parents, it's another to think they all deserve to be students at the school and taught magic. And he might be writing Sirius for different reasons altogether. I don't know. Asking after his parents or something. His real ones.
That's why I was sort of hoping Hermione would fill me in a bit.
And why I'm frustrated that Sirius won't tell me anything, but expects me to know it already.

no subject
Date: 2012-04-11 04:23 pm (UTC)So I know how much I'm going to have to lie.
But Sirius went out of his way to tell Harry to talk to me, I guess? Because that's what Harry made it seem like. So it's going to happen eventually.

And that's not what'd get me into trouble. I've been so careful, but that doesn't look like it matters any more.
Knowing my luck, the next person he'll tell will be Draco.no subject
Date: 2012-04-11 08:53 pm (UTC)Or
Have you told watsisname about the records and the writing him?
It's really hard sometimes, keeping secrets. I mean, it's hard with my family. Remembering not to say something to the twins if Mum's there. Of if she might come in all of a sudden. Or Gin.
I mean, it's never hard if it's Percy. I just don't say anything around him that's about anything important. Mostly because he takes everything wrong, even if it's nothing, y'know-
But we do just all watch ourselves around him, because, well, you just can't take a risk with it. And now Bill's working for Mr Rosier. I dunno. I haven't had a chance to ask the twins what that was like when they stayed with him for their birthday, but Bill's alright. Still, I'd never say anything in front of him that wasn't just about brother stuff.

Date: 2012-04-11 09:01 pm (UTC)All Draco knows about is that Sirius sent me some of Regulus's books. At least that could be explained away, and it's not
Well
I mean, yes, I'd get in trouble if Draco told. But he wouldn't. Not about the letters. It's more that I'm not sure he'd understand entirely why I would in the first place.
But Harry knows about the records. And my writing Sirius when Regulus died because I was sad. And I know he gets letters from Sirius too, so there's that.

Date: 2012-04-11 09:12 pm (UTC)I dunno.
I mean, if you want to talk to Harry, you could maybe slip away now before we're all meant to meet up again at that chapel.
no subject
Date: 2012-04-11 09:37 pm (UTC)Sirius, I mean.
And yes, I might as well see what Harry wants. You're right, I could always put it off for later if it gets weird.
no subject
Date: 2012-04-11 10:00 pm (UTC)I think you should do both of those things.
Anywiz, it was fun today. Maybe not how you'd've wanted to spend it if all this hadn't been going on, but punting was a lark. And making the plates all fly around with JP after lunch! And looking for all those rare plants and bugs and birds and all with Luna.
Sometimes I think Luna just makes stuff up, only, she seems to really believe those things exist, so then I wonder if it's something to do with how her father was taken away. Because, y'know, she almost always says he told her about the Dough-beaked Bellywhacker, or showed her her first Piliated Pivoter, or whatever.
