I just want to say these last couple weeks have been amazing to watch. This will be the third day I'm obsessively hitting reload, there'd have been a fourth, but I read it just before Bill's first explosive post and didn't come back till the next day.
On this specific topic the 'sympathy' from Neville's 'friends' Seamus and Padma is gut-turningly horrible.
Poor Neville. But oh, I'm loving the discussion under the ISS lock on his post, especially Sally-Anne's latest. (http://alt-neville.dreamwidth.org/14272.html?thread=231360#cmt231360) (And, wow, it's almost scary how fast they went from "Neville's parents are alive" to figuring out the existence and much of the purpose of the Order. I mean, wow.)
I'm loving the ISS kids beyond all reason right now. Hermione being able to say nothing, figuring out what the Order is doing, supporting Neville, discussing the false book (talk about a MASSIVE secret they all hold now), etc.
I love it so much I want to be able to see what Harry and Draco would say to each other if they had a private lock. Can't think of who else they'd let in if they did, but clearly they are discussing big things outside the journal. With the things they've seen and heard over the last two years. Harry keeps hinting to Draco "We have to talk about you know that thing" Then not being dummies they go do it in person. Maybe Harry would let Hermione in which would very meta funny with her in three separate locks she couldn't tell any of the others about. For now the adult bad guys are secure enough in their power that they can openly discuss nearly everything, but I wonder if near the end in 2013 or so when the Order begins to be ascendant (or at least I bloody hope they are ascendant) we'll see a Dark Mark lock out.
