Free!Lupin was TBAY: In the control room

[Jenny]

No: HPFGUIDX 86149

Jenny, quite relieved at Olivier's agreement that curing Lupin would 
not be a desired solution, listened as he spoke, eager to hear where 
he was going with FILK FOAD.

<Everyone knew that Dumbledore had been a most efficient fighter 
against Voldemort during the first war, so it is reasonable to assume 
that some members at least will reveal their allegiance to the Order. 
And should Dumbledore die, it is also reasonable to surmise that the 
new leader will make himself known. That could not be Snape, since he 
has to remain secret, nor McGonagall, as she would be most needed in 
Hogwarts, so it could be Arthur or Lupin. Guess what the members of 
FILK LOAD (Freed from Illness Lupin Kan Lead Order After Dumbledore's 
Demise) think ?">

At this, Jenny sighed a wistful sigh. It all sounded so wonderful, 
but...

"You don't agree?" 

Jenny heard the challenge in Olivier's voice as he spoke. 

"I *want* to," Jenny answered earnestly, "more than anything I want 
redemption for Lupin for all he has suffered.  But after seeing how 
cruelly JKR treated Sirius, I wonder if it could truly be. It also 
conflicts with my belief that Arthur will take over Fudge's job as 
MoM. 

"What I mean," Jenny continued hastily, just in case Olivier wanted 
to interrupt, "is that once we have one Order member in an 
influential position such as the MoM, acting publicly, I believe the 
Order - remember, they're a secret society, and therefore not likely 
to come out to the public -  would focus more on stealth operations 
and leave public affairs to the MoM.  Even now, really, there's no 
longer a need to convince people of Voldemort's return because that 
has now been acknowledged.

"So, you see, it makes a place in society for Lupin rather... 
superfluous," she finished tenatively.

"Unless, of course," Jenny's voice strengthened as a grin threatened 
to escape, "he were to become Arthur's Undersecretary - Umbridge's 
old job to Fudge - it would be appropriate, would it not?"
