Order only: Private message to Rachel Brodie

[alt_bill]

Are you off-shift Sunday evening?

I ask because I've a suspicion my Mum's going to be inviting you to dinner at the Burrow that night.

No pressure from me, luv, but thought you'd appreciate some advance notice.

Just so you know, though...when it comes down to it, I'll back you up if there's any conflict with her. In any way you need.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. She's your mother. If things go badly, I just won't come to dinner again.

I'm not being ridiculous, if you think about it a little. You have to remember I'm a Weasley, and to us, family means a lot. Our family ties are very strong, which is why Percy's betrayal cut so deeply, you see.

I'm saying that if there's any conflict, my loyalty's with you.

You can make of that what you will.
