Order Only: Private message to Ron, Hydra, Justin, and Draco

[alt_rachel]

Our fearless leader just appointed me head of law enforcement for the provisional government, and told me to feel free to recruit some Aurors.

Any of you four interested? Ron, I know you'll be deeply disappointed not to be reporting to Barty Crouch or Lana Sandoval, but I'm hoping you can get past it and put the training you've had to good use.

Really?

I'm still a year off from sitting my NEWTs.

And I hadn't planned to return for seventh year.

[alt_rachel]

Psht, NEWTS.

I've seen you with a wand.

[alt_draco]

Good to know, since I didn't sit them, either.

Count me in.

[alt_rachel]

Welcome to the team, Auror Malfoy.

[alt_hydra]

All right.

I'll do it.

[alt_rachel]

Glad to have you, Auror Lestrange.

[alt_hydra]

Oh. Actually, I'd prefer Auror Finch-Fletchley.

Unless that will be confusing. Somehow I think it would be more confusing to still have an Auror Lestrange.

[alt_rachel]

I don't suppose you'd be interested in splitting the name up, with one of you being Auror Finch and the other being Auror Fletchley? No?

I took Bill's name but I'm going to go professionally as Brodie, because there are more than enough Weasleys running around to make things confusing. But if you'll both be Auror Finch-Fletchley we'll manage.

[alt_hydra]

Was there ever an infamously hard-to-get-along-with Auror Brodie in MLE?

Because if there was, you might prefer Auror Weasley too.

[alt_rachel]

No, I'm just saying -- I started out Brodie, became a Lamont, then a Weasley. I'm trying to think whether you've got some third option, because you're right about the effect of the words 'Auror Lestrange' on people.

Not to mention the journals, since we certainly don't want PMs meant for you routed to your mother.

We'll manage.
