Dear Casey,

It was my pleasure. I am just glad we got there when we did. How are you holding up?

I am fine, just a little weak. It should pass soon.

better than my parents at least. my mother didn't want me to go back to school.
that's good to hear. i'm sure you scared a few people.

can you tell me more about the order?

Worry... would be an understatement. But thankfully I seem to be on the mend.

I hope you didn't have to fight too hard to be able to go back to school, Hogwarts is a wonderful place. I also have it on very good authority that is is one of the safest places.

The order? What do you want to know?

Sincerely,
Harry

@crystal7

that's good. does james know?

well you know better than anyone what my father is like. my grandmother had a bigger opinion about it. i agree and so did my mother so she managed to convince them for me.

@casey,

James knows, all my kids know. They've been to visit me a few times. A little shaken up about it, but they are tough.

Your dad is a good man. If your parent's have any concern about security for next year, tell them not to worry. Myself, and several other aurors are personally seeing to the security. Everything should work out very well.

Well the Order has done pretty much the same thing since it was founded, with a few differences. It was founded to battle against Voldemort, and that was what it did up until he was defeated. Now that we have brought it back again, we are committed to fight against dark wizards who want to destroy our way of life. But to join? I don't think you want to go through the induction ceremony or hazing. There is all sorts of crazy things we do to make sure we can't be harmed by evil like sacrificing virgins and whatnot.

Just Kidding. You want in? Are you of age yet? If you are, come visit me and we'll talk about it in person.

@crystal7

they're worried about how my sister is going to be safe next year. i guess it's something you can't understand till your a parent right? i'll let them know but expect my father or mother to come into the ministry to grill you on those several aurors! kidding.

was my dad part of it back then?

i'd like in. graduated and of age, sir. ready for duty. okay maybe not but i'd still like the chance to join. i don't want anyone else to go through what we went through.

@casey,

I expect to be fully ready to receive your parent's concerns, and to let your dad know he went through a lot worse. He may have cause a few deaths with those explosions of his!

Your dad was part of Dumbledore's Army with me, in fact he was instrumental in keeping Hogwarts protected when Voldemort was attacking. He sure does know his way around explosives.

Casey, you are welcome to join us. As soon as I am out and about, I'll send your an owl and you can come meet me in my office. The Order of the Phoenix was founded so that people didn't have to feel scared, to give people hope. If we can do that for you by letting you join, then we would be happy to.

@crystal7

no offence, but i don't think that's going to be a huge comfort to him.

that he does. why do you think my middle name is blaze. i think i picked up his love of it though, fire spells seem to be one of my specialties.

thanks harry. just let me know a time and i can be there. it's not that i'm afraid of what happened, i just don't want anyone else going through it.

@casey

I'll send you an invite, separately. Everyone may know about us, but we don't need them to know how we work. You'll know it when you get it.

Harry
