ORDER ONLY: Private Message to George and Fred

Hey.

I hope you gents are having a good weekend. How's the ruse been working so far?

I just

Sally-Anne had a really mad dream last night. About a battle taking place at Hogwarts. And she woke me up and we talked about it for ages and ages. And it was obviously not us, like a vision of what was going to happen, I mean, no-one from Slytherin was there at all, and there were people there who wouldn't have been, like Per Neville, and Patil and Finnigan were fighting on our side, and other really weird things like that.

It was like her prophecy -- parts of it, at least. Like the people she saw dying died in her dream. And last time she didn't know which of you it was, but this time, she sorted out it was Fred. Only the dream was a tonne more detailed, like she was Seeing the entire battle, just floating around Hogwarts like a ghost, and she couldn't do anything to help, and

Anyways. It was sort of awful, and I just wanted to write you both to sort of make sure you're both all right, you know? Even though I know you are.

I don't want you in the thick of anything.

Yes.

That sounds best all round, really. Best for making sure you don't get caught, best for the Order, all that.

The cash flow is useful, mind, but I can actually start turning a profit at Brew now that we're in planting season and we don't have to shuffle our raw goods over to the free zones. Now that we are in control of the ports, we might be able to get some supplies direct, so gold will help there -- but I've still got plenty in reserve. So money isn't an issue.

So yeah. Let's hire on two old classmates of yours -- people who really need the work -- and have them take care of our day-to-day. We don't need to keep rolling out brand-new products every few months to keep profitable -- we can bring back some of our limited editions, and the 'classics' will always do well.

I say go for it.
