Eileen is sitting on the hood of the Missus, when George finally
strolls up to his car. 

"Long time no see," she says cheerfully. Her eyes, however, give no
hint of cheer.

"I'd heard you'd left town," says George evasively. "Left town without
even leaving me a note."

"George, is that lipstick on your cheek?"

"You'd be surprised what the more inebriated customers get up to,"
says George. "I don't encourage them."

"And where have you been? Strolling in the woods with some lovely
young creature?" 

"Absolutely not," says George. "Now, how about we make an evening of
this chance meeting and..."

"Hello," says Erin, coming out of the woods.

"Aha!" says Eileen.

"No, it's not like that at all," says George. "Erin and I were...
discussing things."

"Redemption?"

"Er... no."

"George, you know very well you aren't supposed to talk anything but
redemption," says Eileen.

"I'm allowed to listen to other theories. I'm just not allowed to have
an opinion," says George hastily. "Now, Erin here has an ESE!Bill
theory, what do you think?"

"ESE!Bill?" shouts Eileen and rushes towards Erin. 

Erin flinches. Then, Eileen flings her arms around her.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Errr..." begins Erin.

"This is too good! It finally answers my question!"

"What?"

"Well, the reason I always keep an eye on these ESE posts is that
Harry needs a traitor in his generation. He just needs one. James had
a traitor. It'll be sloppy writing on JKR's part if no one betrays
Harry.  So, I've been afraid, because the two most obvious choices for
traitors were two of my favourite characters: Percy and Neville. Of
course, OotP helped set my mind to rest about Percy. I mean, you can't
betray someone from a position of non-trust. But ESE!Bill is jolly
good, because it fulfills the need for the traitor, and yet doesn't
make it completely irrelevant to the reader."

"How so?" asks George. "Most people don't care anything for Bill."

"Yes," says Eileen. "But they do care for the Weasleys."
