Private message to Mr Rosier

alt_seamusSir,
Although I can't say that I understand the need for secrecy regarding the IMA bomb that took Mr Weasley's life, understanding is not a requirement for obedience. And you will always have that, sir. In everything.
May I have permission to tell the truth to Padma Patil and Neville Longbottom?
They both know my situation because I've told them. Padma is very discreet (even in smaller matters -- she has never gossipped, even to her twin sister, about my relationship with Evgeni -- I think it's safe to say that if she had, it would have quickly become common knowledge). She is also unimpeachably loyal. I have to admit I know less about Neville Longbottom's loyalty, given his parents, but -- well. He's never given me reason to believe he's NOT loyal. And he's never told anyone about my situation, either.
Given that they know -- they will certainly be suspicious when I don't come back to school. No matter what the official story is.
If Padma's told, especially the reasons why it's necessary, she'll keep it in confidence. I believe Neville will, too. (And if they're not told, they may ask a lot of awkward questions -- not because they wish to make trouble, but because they care about me.)
So I want to tell them. Privately. In the journals. If I have your permission.
With respect,
Your loyal and devoted foster-son,
Seamus
