chamberofsnogsHolidays have been going all right I suppose; I can't remember the weather having ever been this terrible, even at this time of year, but the weathermen on the telly are all blaming global warming and air pollution and anything else they can think of. I suppose they need something to blame, after all. Dad was pretty worried about how things were going at school, but I think I managed to convince him that everything's been all right, even though it's not. My aunt and uncle gave me a wizard's wireless and I've been trying to keep up with the news, but it's awfully depressing most of the time.
But the most important thing is this: Fred and George owled me this morning. They said there was something important they wanted to discuss, and since Dad was out for the afternoon (he always gets restless when the university's not in session, and it's not as though he ever really stops working for long anyway) they apparated over to talk. There's going to be a raid on Azkaban, to break out all of the muggles and suspected "traitors" the Death Eaters are holding there. The Order sounds like they can use all the help they can get - they wouldn't let anyone our age near the actual prison of course, but there are going to be a number of Portkey waystations to get prisoners out in groups as fast as possible, and they'll let us help with those.
So I'm going to help man one of the waystations. If any of you can get away to help, I know the Order would be grateful. It should be pretty safe - we'd just be rounding up people and making sure they get on their way, kind of like traffic control. We'll be out of the line of fire, and the Death Eaters won't know where they waystations are.
The twins said we could all meet at the Burrow the day of the raid, so if your parents need to know where you're going you can tell them where to check in. Don't talk about this to anyone you don't have to - the fewer people who know, the less chance there is that the Death Eaters could find out.
