Order Only - Private message to Alice Longbottom

Mr Stebbins should be in touch shortly to convey the secret for Dover.

All right.

It's a start.

Thank you.

I'm assuming Poppy is aware of the secure and private drop point that you've mentioned, and can fill me in on the details.

I'll be in Dover on and off for the next two days at least.

I am not used

I had thought the drops might be a small Fidelius at a randomly selected location. Too easy to be snared if we repeat a site. Poppy does know some ruined huts that would do well enough.

I will return to Dover tomorrow.

Dear lady. You have every right to be angry with me. I appreciate that you have kept it in private thus far.

[alt_alice]

This is difficult enough when everyone is working together.

I know I've been

I'll be the first to admit that I've depended heavily on Remus these past few months.

But there is a system in place for a reason, Albus. And if you don't have faith in my capacity, have faith in the system, and talk to Remus.

[alt_albus]

Your capacity is not the question, dear lady. Even in the most difficult of times.

You have done a great deal for the Order, far more practically than I ever managed.

I am an old man, with many old habits. I am considering what to do about that.

[alt_alice]

All right.

I'll leave you to your thoughts, then.

I hope I shall see you in Dover tomorrow.

And Albus, I am most sorry for your loss.
