alt_poppyFrank, Alice?
I've been thinking, and I'd very much like to know a bit more about what you've told your children. About yourselves. I know Alice said you didn't intend to tell them about the work you do with us. But-- Well, I wonder what your Neville knows and what he might piece together from what you've told him. He's a quiet boy, but he does a lot of thinking, I believe, about how things are. He's thoughtful in both senses. And if there are children capable of taking a bit of information and putting it together with other bits, like Sirius's Grim Truths--
Your Neville wrote back to him once or twice, didn't he? Sirius? Have I misremembered?
I'm only thinking that your son is one child with a special bit of information about two members of our group, and if children his age are capable of figuring out what's what, he may be as well. You--and we--should be prepared for him to have questions. Or suppositions, even. And sooner than later.
We ought to have a plan for what you could tell him and when.
This whole episode with Miss Granger's friends suggests to me that we've been a bit too laissez faire about the things your children and the Weasley children--now there's a caution!--might glean from things they hear and observe.
