[Violently Hexed Against Unwanted Readers]

[Private to Peter, James & Sirius]

I had to read it in the bloody fucking paper. All but a footnote. At the back. Someone needs to concisely explain. Two of you I can easily track down and hex. I'll take two out of three.

	Consider my publication my way of telling you. Would have told you sooner but clearly we've been busy handling this. Or rather, in Sirius and James' case....not handling it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He dug that hole for himself, Emmeline. I'm not bailing him out of trouble when he keeps doing this sort of shite knowing full-what what it'll lead it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Same Ward _parameters 2016-12-20 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	I don't even know what he's specifically done to warrant you not wanting to 'bail him out' of. Peter made it a point to make the article as vague as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Long story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Ward dirty_rat 2016-12-20 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, evidently longer than twenty plus years of history. You see my dear Emmeline. Our friend Remus' brains are made of straw and Sirius here is lacking a heart. I myself don't have the fortitude to do much and James can be taken as seriously as a winged monkey. Perhaps a trip to that muggle fairy story land OZ is in order? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As much as I appreciate the wit, Peter, that tells me nothing about what the fucking hell happened. What was Remus arrested for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Ward dirty_rat 2016-12-20 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Remus was being admirable. Foolish, but admirable and started a safe house for werewolves who distrust the Ministry to have a place to transform for the night. By refusing to give up the name of the wolves at his safehouse, it appears he's gotten on Chief Yaxley's bad side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Ward _parameters 2016-12-20 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	His desire for there to be an unregulated safehouse has valid merit. It's clear that there is systemic racism against werewolves that is turning obviously violent. I'm assuming that Chief Yaxley's bad side was triggered because of the recent murders. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You don't think I'm relevant enough to merit at least something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wasn't my business to tell. Remus knew ahead of time, and I had no way of knowing he hadn't informed you, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Ward _parameters 2016-12-20 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Fucking hell. [Sirius \| Em] I'll digest the latter but I want to address the former: your stonewalling with me is asinine. I am concerned about a friend that we share in common. Someone that I've employed. We've established the fact that none thought to warn me, not even Remus, you can at least tell me what bloody happened after the fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He went out, likely got drunk, and got arrested. I haven't looked further into the case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emmeline \| Sirius _parameters 2016-12-21 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	You don't want to tell me, fine. Then at least explain to me why you're treating me like someone that can't be trusted. I don't even know if you realize that's what you're projecting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm telling you what I know. If you want anything more than that, you're either going to have to get specific or ask someone else.

You've been gone for over twenty years, Emmeline. I don't know you anymore. None of us do. You can't come back and demand to take your rightful place in our circle of friends when you haven't been a friend to any of us in decades, and you're not going to be our first Floo call when something happens. I'm sorry, more so than you know, but that's not how this works anymore.

You're right. I didn't realize that was what I was doing in the heat of worry and frustration but you're correct. I'm a stranger to you and though we've both tried to mend that very burnt bridge in fits and starts, it's clear its too damaged. You have a great deal to manage and worry about, and I don't think either of us wants to put the proper energy it would take.

I know you're sorry but it doesn't hold weight against reality. Thank you for having always been honest with me even when I didn't to hear it. ~~I will always love you.~~

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so harsh. It isn't the same and never will be, but that doesn't mean it still can't be good once we've all readjusted. I We still love you. That hasn't changed. And now we have Emma to love, too.

It will take time, that's all. We've been used to you not being here, and now you are. We won't be able to switch back overnight, but I'm sure we're all willing to try as long as you're willing to accept that we've all created lives without you for the past twenty years, and that isn't easy to shake.

	No, suppose not. I shouldn't have expected that aspects wouldn't have changed. I know we've all built lives in the past twenty years. I just stop thinking in the thick of emotion. I've grown to hate surprises and that was a big one. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	But after the fact, James? It went to print, that means it's been a day. Likely a whole twenty-four. At least give me what he's been formally charged with. (Reply to this) (Parent)
