So I'm taking orders for Mum. Who needs comfort food and what do you want?

[ Friends of Gawain ]

Unless someone else is already doing something, Rhys and I are going to start funeral arrangements for Gawain. We would welcome some help and company if anyone would like to join us tonight for dinner and planning.

Also, we're [...] given the circumstances, we're a little concerned about security and publicity and that sort of thing, so that's something we would like to keep in mind, I guess.

[ Baz ]

How are you feeling? Is your throat any better?

[ Puffskeins in the snow video, because everybody needs it today :( ]

I hope this brings a little cheer on a dreary day.

[Sturgis]

I'm going to destroy the back yard.

My father sent me a snap of a newly hatched Peruvian Vipertooth. It's the first time in two years he's Apparently they turn copper with age. He wanted me to know he's decided to name it after Gawain Robards, which obviously has a very Peruvian ring to it. If you ask me, his name would have been much better suited to a Common Welsh Green, but I'm not the magizoologist in the family, so what do I know?

HUGO NOTT

Congratulations, sir. I assume your plans for a quiet retirement have changed in the wake of yesterday's events.

DAILY PROPHET

I'm confused.

Such a shame about my good friend, Gawain Robards. I do wish I could've been there to see the end.

THEA.

If you're serious about joining — and I do hope you are after declaring such — I think there's a few spells we ought to be working on.

While I'll admit that it was nice to read something truthful in the Prophet for a change, I think the intent is quite obviously to spread fear and hopelessness. That is no way to honour Auror Robards' memory. Continued resistance and commitment to higher morals would be the more appropriate way to show respect to Robards, and I can guarantee many of us who knew and cared for him will continue to test the Death Eaters' patience and resist their "Dark Lord," whatever Lestrange has to say about it.

I think there's another message that can be taken from today's Prophet, though. If you're somehow still on the fence about whether or not what you love about our magical society and culture can be preserved under a Death Eater regime, like freedom of speech, expression, and free and fair elections, Auror Robards' death should give you a resounding "no." Maybe you think that once the dust settles and you're Pureblood or Halfblood that things can eventually go back to normal for you. Murdering your political opponents in the seat of government itself is not normal, it's a textbook sign of a fascist, totalitarian regime. So maybe it is a choice of life or death--will we continue to fight for the life of our free society and democratic traditions, or will we stand by complacently as they die alongside the Death Eater's victims?
