Our position here is not tenable.
They find us, we run. They find us, we run. How many more times can we run away? We are giving them the upper hand. Giving them time, which is deadly for us, and for the children they hunt.
We need to do to them what they have done to us. We need to destabilize them. We need to find out what they are doing, and how. I know we have learned a little of this - the hand, the children, the Books they have tampered with. But what of the schools? Of Leyla? She was kind to me when most were not. I cannot forget that she is missing, and that we have not tried to find her. I am blaming no one for this; I know none of us know how to take such an action when we have no clues, no trail of evidence. I know going on the offensive is not always wise, but I think it is the only productive move we can make.
I do not suggest we do this at once, or head on. What I am suggesting is this: we know the members of this Initiative. Most are old blood, the kind who have houses with names. They are easy to find. Why not start with them? Find them alone. Question them. Search their big houses. The Ministry believes it is untouchable, and for that reason they will not take much care in hiding their plans. Look at what they’ve done already!
I know this is a dangerous suggestion. People may be hurt because of it. But if they continue to hunt us, and all we do is limp away, eventually they will make their kill. We have already lost too many.
[ Attached is an article clipped from the Daily Prophet, calling for the public to forward any knowledge of “magically inclined muggle children” to the Ministry of Magic, citing low enrollment rates for muggleborns in the Sentinel Schools and a desire for “help” in finding more. ]
We cannot spend any more time hiding. Please.
