Who: Anthony Goldstein & Michael Corner. When: Wednesday, April 27 - 7:45 am Where: English Countryside What: Anthony and Michael take down a member of Diggory's team Rating: R (violence, language) Status: Ongoing
Leif Tacklesford knew that he'd be at risk every time he left his house or returned on broomstick - the terrorists were out there, and they weren't shy about using violence. As the chief editor for the Ministry's pamphlets, he also knew that he'd be a likely target upon whom the terrorists would focus. But he took that risk simply because apparating made him violently ill and using the floos were not an option anymore, after they'd been bombed. For Leif, the only other option was flying. And with each day that passed without event, he became a little less cautious, a little more confident. He mounted his Firebolt and took off into the cloudy sky, unaware that he was about to meet his doom.
Tacklesford's home was a small cottage in the country, and he made sure that it was secure against attack, with protection wards that would make Gringott's proud. Bombing the place, as Anthony initially hoped, would be practically impossible. Michael's 'Plan B' was much more practical. Crouched behind a thicket not far from the cottage, they waited as predators for their quarry. Eyes focused upon the sky, Anthony spotted Tacklesford as a black spot against the gray, and he pointed to draw Michael's attention.
