A fantastic weekend of Quidditch. Let's focus on that instead.

[Tonks]
Need to talk.

It's not about Sunday, don't worry. I plan to forget all about it; no harm done.

[Kiki]
Really?

[M/S/K]
Tell me.

	The truth is I screwed up when I got carried away by his words. You’re doing that disappointed face aren’t you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Words I’m pretty sure you don’t want to hear. It was a lot of sex talk and innuendo between talk of living above an ice cream shop. I think that might be even worse to imagine. I’m sorry Kings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I do not need details. You are correct about that. Don't apologise, the damage is done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let’s agree to never discuss that bit. I’ve had my wards looked at, but I’m still working on making sure they are the best of the best to keep me safe, if that reassures you? Do you have any recommendations on who to talk to about topping them up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think you're taking this seriously. Wards can only do so much.

Look, I can appreciate that he's a good looking man - even I can see that. But this isn't some sort of teenage fantasy, Kiki. He's not a bad guy you can change and 'fix'. He is fundamentally sick.

I can give you a full list of the things he did. They will make you sick to your stomach, I can guarantee it. What makes it worse is that he somehow got away with it. As did others.

When I say "stay away" I am not being a boring mother hen trying to ruin your fun. I am trying to save your life. And potentially the lives of others.

I know, Kingsley, I know! You’re just looking out for me, protecting me, like you have since I first came to the DMLE all those years ago, but sometimes I do really stupid things. I don’t have delusions of changing him, of making him a good guy, but I know it’s stupid to be talking to him anyway, never mind whatever happened at that party. I get how screwed up this is!

Right now I need help with my wards because I practically dared him to break them, and I’m fully aware that’s dangerous, so please, is there anyone who can help?

	I have spoken to Moody. He will be there at 9am sharp. I will come over at 5pm to reinforce the wards he puts in place. I'll ask Mckinnon, Potter and Podmore to test them and reinforce them further. In the meantime, stay with a friend and don't share your location. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. You’re quite literally a life saver I’m sure. I will have thank you cookies or muffins for all of them, and I promise not to bake them myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None for me, thanks. I'm all caked out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cookies, not cakes! How about fire whiskey instead? Or is that too soon.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't need to get me a thing. I'm sure Moody wouldn't say no to a glass, however. Just get yourself somewhere safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I’ll make sure I have a whole bottle for him to take home. I learnt that trick back during training. I’ll ask around. My brother isn’t talking to me, otherwise I would crash his place. I’d try the other one but he has a kid so better not to risk it. Charlie offered his place though, and Tonks would probably let me stay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	K&K _lawandauror 2020-07-02 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Wise. Remember not to take offence when he tests it for poison. He's not talking to you? Because of this? Both are decent options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	K&K killerkiki 2020-07-02 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	I’d be disappointed if he didn’t, especially now. I believe it went something along the line of if I’m not worried about keeping myself safe, why should he? I’m a very vexing sibling apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Don't worry about it. We're fine. You made a valid point. I'm interested in what you said to Rosier. His face was a picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Phew - good. Because I didn't win anything. Fuck Bulgaria. I asked him how he was feeling now that Goldstein has shared his clear anti-purist stance with the public. His face aside, I hear he has straight up resigned? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bad luck. Krum is possibly the best seeker I've ever seen, and he's still in school. Such potential. Do you have any money riding on Spain v. Finland? That's brilliant. You heard correctly, he's here until the end of the week. Maybe you got to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He truly is. Unmatched skill and nerves of steel. The boy will go far. And I'm being what they call 'an utter bastard' in the gambling world and putting some money on both for guaranteed returns. Don't tell Mundungus.

Quite possibly. Goldstein did suspend him too; that was exceptionally cringeworthy. Reminded me of a Hogwarts punishment. Imagine being sent to your room by a twenty-something year old.

	I'll see you in the DMLE cafeteria after duelling practice today? And thank you. This weekend has taught me how one should avoid telling the truth to others as much as possible. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Tonks _lawandauror 2020-07-02 09:31 am UTC (link)
	That's a bit too open. This conversation is best kept as private as possible. Come to Scrimgeour's office after your training. I'm sure they'll get over it - whoever you're thinking about. Don't let it consume you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kings. felicific 2020-07-02 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	I'll see you there. Is this about my father? You're right. I just need to bleach my brain of the general "what the fuck was that" sentiment I have been entertaining since yesterday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks _lawandauror 2020-07-02 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. I have no reason to believe he is dead, so don't instantly jump to that conclusion. It's potentially promising news. Take it out on the training dummies. This will pass, you'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kings. felicific 2020-07-02 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	Good tips, both of these! I'll go beat up some dummies now. And before you say anything: no, not McLaggen and Jones. I know everyone refers to them as dummies. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's not much, but we overheard conversation between Rodolphus Lestrange and someone else. It was a bad angle and I couldn't see who he was talking to. But they were talking about Greyback. He and his pack have joined You-Know-Who. (Reply to this)
