Thank you to everyone who's sent birthday greetings, and to everyone here at the reserve who's gone out of their way to make today such a lovely day!

(And special thanks to Copacati, our Peruvian Vipertooth, who could've bit me today and restrained herself. Don't think she knew it was my birthday, but I appreciate it anyway.)

Now I'm going to go back to pretending I don't know about the birthday cake Emmett's been cooking up for me for dinner, and defending my Mum's shortbread against all comers. If any of you lot of ravenous beasts want some of it, you'll have to ask really nicely.

Don't try praising Malfoy if you don't think you can make it convincing.

Although. He admires the man so much he'd probably swallow it. Ugh.

About the dragons, and the wards: I dunno, like I said, it's a crazy idea. I wonder if you might write to Dumbledore and run it past him. I remember, there was some report at an Order meeting that he'd come to see you--and then obliviated you afterwards--so apparently, he's been researching this. Maybe he'd have some ideas, or tests to suggest? It might be another clue that might help something fall into place for him?

Yeah, that's a good idea. Though -- ugh, I'm still a bit creeped out by all that. I was saying to Tonks a little while back, I can definitely think of circumstances where I'd flat out ask him to obliviate me, if only so I couldn't give away secrets by accident, but it's more than a bit disturbing to know that there's someone walking around out there who remembers conversations with you that you don't remember. And not just once, but multiple times.

If you can't trust your own brain...

And I don't know. I think I could be convincing. If I was careful. And if Perce thought that at least one of us wasn't sneering at Malfoy behind his back, it might help a bit -- because he's not an idiot, and no matter how careful you lot are, he knows you too well, and it's harder for you to act like Malfoy isn't against everything we stand for. But he doesn't know me as well as he knows you, so that might work out a little better for us?

I don't know. I'm grasping at straws, here.

At least that message from Ginny left me a bit hopeful, yeah?

Here, have some more trebuchet-building. f5.
