Order Only: Private message to Fred Weasley and George Weasley

[alt_bill]

Fred and George (and please pass this on to Lee and Hermione)

Gents, I don't want to alarm you, but I DO want you to keep your eyes open and to be ready to move at a moment's notice if necessary. I have strong reason to suspect that someone interfered with my memory during my work day yesterday at the Ministry. As best as I can tell, someone (don't know who) obliviated me, making me lose about a fifteen minute block of time.

I will be keeping my head down and being exceedingly strict with my own safety protocols. Haven't told Mum, but I've told Nick Towler, Charlie and Alice. At Alice's suggestion, Severus is going to meet with me tonight, to do an examination of my memory and see if he can detect anything more about what happened to me.

Alice instructed me to let you know so that if--well, if the cauldron's about to blow and we have to call for a mass evacuation, at least you have a heads up warning beforehand. Watch for patronuses from Order members. Keep tabs on everyone's whereabouts as best you can in case you need to find them quickly, and keep a close eye on your journals, please. Will get you anymore information I can as soon as I learn anything more myself.

Got it, Bill. Bloody hell. All right, let us know what you find out.

(And our deepest sympathies. Not just about the obliviation. We've been trying Occlumency lessons, you know, and it isn't exactly going swimmingly. Having Snape rummage around in our minds is NOT exactly rainbows, puppies and ice cream. We know. Ugh.)

[alt_bill]

Do you think you're getting the hang of it at all? Occlumency, I mean?

[alt_gredforge]

No, we're utter pants at it. Which is frustrating for both him and us. He grandly allowed that we're not completelythick, but he wonders if we're hampered a bit because we're twins, actually. You know...the way we're so attuned to each other, sometimes even finishing each other's sentences? So we're not exactly good at shutting people out. Anyway, that's one possible theory.

[alt_bill]

Huh. Interesting.

I wonder....maybe you just need a different teacher. What about trying working with Dumbledore?

[alt_gredforge]

That's a thought. We definitely should try it.
