[Welcome to the Order, here's your dead body.]
Who: Dennis Creevey, Alicia Spinnet, Nymphadora Tonks, maybe a cameo or two from random bodies.
What: Scoping out the compound for any left over information on the victims.
Where: The compound at Sheffield
When: Wednesday.
Death always seemed to cling to certain places. Untouchable, invisible, but always there. A room in a house, a ward in a hospital. A remnant of a person's last breath that seemed to seep into the air and stay there. But many deaths, a mass extermination of people, all killed in one brutal go, seemed to hang over a place like a fog, reaching and grasping all around it. Palpable and nearly visible. On this day, even the sky itself was grey and moody. Fantastic. Exactly what a day like this needed. Tonks leaned back against an old tree and sighed, folding her arms across her chest and looking to the sky. Hopefully her owls had reached the kids in time. Crowden was a small and insignificant little village on the outskirts of Sheffield where no one saw too much and heard even less. She'd done as best a job as she could for scoping out potential Death Eaters set on watch, but it was still a much safer alternative to start their trek from the secluded little village. And she wanted to at least be able to talk to the kids before marching them into a mass grave littered with bodies.
Who knows. Maybe in that time she'd even stop calling them kids. Tonks sighed again.
She wasn't sure they were ready for this. Hell, she wasn't sure this was a remotely good idea. But they weren't children, she had to remind herself. They didn't need to be coddled. They shouldn't be coddled. Not in times like these. No, this was the better alternative. To take them into any kind of battle now, any kind of confrontation- things inevitable to any Order member- wasn't half as stupid as it was entirely careless. No, this would work out for the best. Here they wouldn't see battle, they would just see what happens when you lose.
