    ... both part of Dumbledore's Order," she replied, seeing the way Tonks tensed up a little, but plowing forward and not giving anyone a chance to interrupt. "I'm not going to fire you for it, Tonks, don't worry. I know that you both want to help in this war, and I know that you both believe Harry when he says Voldemort is back." None of them flinched at the name, something Amelia noted with approval. She nodded crisply. "Tonks, you helped Harry and his friends this summer, and I thank you for that, not just for Harry, but for Susan as well. She loved being a part of those lessons. I'm not asking you to choose between us and Dumbledore, or between Dumbledore and the DMLE. What we were hoping was that you two might be interested in joining our own... circle, I guess you could call it." Kingsley furrowed his brow. "What does that mean, exactly?" he asked, his voice calm with a hint of curiosity. Amelia smiled. "I'm hoping that you can be convinced to give up some of your spare time to help train Harry and his friends as well, next summer, and perhaps a little over the Christmas holiday," she told him. "If Dumbledore does or says anything that seems a little... strange, or wrong, I hope you will inform one of us.

So many witches and wizards follow him blindly, just because he's Dumbledore, but I personally think he's getting up there in years, and spreading himself too thin, with all his positions in society. We don't know what we're going to do about his meddling, but I have a feeling we'll all be much better off not trusting him blindly, or it may come that we'll all end up wondering just how it is we jumped off that cliff. Unfortunately, logic seems to be something missing from most of the magical world." Amelia shook her head at his cynical attitude, but truth to be told, she really couldn't fault it. Sirius clenched his jaw. "I can understand, in theory, why Albus thought the Blood Wards would be worth the trade off of abuse, but it's hard to rationalize it when I think about how I found Harry dragging his trunk down the street that night, half his face bruised, unable to breathe properly because of the broken ribs. He was so focused on the outside threat, he paid no attention to the one on the inside." He took a deep breath. "Albus has a lot to answer for.
