WHO: Sirius, Remus, Harry WHAT: plotting to get James back WHERE: The Phoenix school of Magic, Prongs Tower WHEN: today probably WHY: seriously? WARNINGS: Remus and Sirius are still not getting on, so it could be awkward
The schedule of visitors to Macnair's office was invaluable for getting them in, but Remus could still not think of a way of getting James out. Even if they managed to stun Macnair, making it out of The Ministry seemed nigh on impossible. The place was crawling with Death Eaters and sycophants. Sirius had suggested that he had a way in mind, and whilst Remus felt overwhelmed by the difficulty of the task, he also knew that Sirius (and James) had a creative mind, especially when it came to getting away with things. This gave him some hope - more hope than he was comfortable with feeling, to be honest.
After telling Tonks where he was going, Remus stepped into his fireplace that was hooked up to the Order's own underground floo network and said "The Phoenix school of Magic." He came out in the entrance hall of the castle and as he stepped out of the fireplace, stumbled directly into Sirius who had clearly also just emerged. Without efficient regulation and monitoring the way the main floo network had, this was possible, but infrequent.
"Sorry," Remus said, even as he gripped his friend's - ex-friend's - arm to steady himself.
