DISORDER JOURNALS

I hope that everyone has a really nice evening. Because it’s time to get to work - living our lives, healing, taking our government back and rolling on all of the horrific legislation put up by the Thicknesse-Death Eater regime.

[OLIVER]

I’m coming home with a globe and a Sharpie.

ORDER

Please come quick. I’ve found Fred and Graham and I need your help.

Fred is alive - they both are - but they need medical attention and I can’t move these stones with magic for fear of crushing them.

[ORDER]

With regards to Ms. Vane's troubling news, I would like to address items that I am sure all of our Aurors have already considered and may be already gathering. But because I am a pest at my most useful, I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and keep the discussion productive. In a post-war world, we will have the opportunity to build evidence and prosecute the Death Eaters to the fullest extent of the reasonable law.

But if witnesses do not sur In order to build strong cases, clearly retain the facts and to ensure voices are heard, I would suggest collecting sealed files based on eye-witness accounts with the intent to submit them at any trials which might thereafter occur. I think these eye witness accounts would be invaluable evidence in trials against Death Eaters like Evelyn Mulciber.

With the latest revelations, and if I'm calculating correctly, the only departments at the Ministry not overrun by Death Eaters is International Magical Cooperation. Which makes sense, considering that they're navel-gazing sociopaths and xenophobes with no real diplomatic skills.

(Hey, don't touch my desk. And definitely don't look in the third drawer on the left side, okay? I'll want it back after your corruptive influence gets put in prison where it belongs.)

[OLIVER]

"Life was good. The sun hot. Only human beings—what did they want?” Dorky maudlin quote for your afternoon. 🤷

I'm going to o-mail Violet. We haven't heard from her in too long. Which, honestly, could mean a million different things that I'm going to choose to see positively.

[LAYLA, OLIVER]

Time's up, Layla. Here's your instructions:

a) Apparate to Coordinate Point 1. 54.420325 x -0.75531003
b) Apparate to Coordinate Point 2. 54.186344 x -2.1945190
c) Apparate to Coordinate Point 3. 52.027121 x -4.8362442

I expect these coordinates to be followed beginning precisely at 14:00.

[OLIVER, KATIE, ANGELINA, ALICIA, FRED, GEORGE, MADELINE, LEE]

Re-copied items above.

It's done. I envision a seven-way stun at Coordinate Point 2. It's wooded and full of breaks for appropriate hiding. Once she's lost consciousness, we can take her wand, check her for trackers or bugs, then group travel by Portkey to Madeline's.

[ORDER]

Because I'd rather not wade into this without a tin hat:

I knew about Violet. She told me, Oliver, Roger and I assume a handful of other friends after her situation before it was announced publicly. She had a bottle of Felix Felicis in her desk drawer and while she was going to use it to speak to an IMC official, she had noticed paperwork alerting the MRC to Justin Finch-Fletchley's (MB) whereabouts come through her department. She took the potion so she could get Thicknesse to sign off on this being a false lead and JFF could continue his escape.

Apparently afterward, she had an um, encounter. With Dante Avery. The encounter resulted in pregnancy that she successfully hid for quite some time. With the ID tracking, she was afraid of buying products that would tip her off and enrage Purists. Please get the implication. What I've gleaned is that she informed Avery and her parents, then they arranged a marriage. I asked her why and she told me that it was easier to agree to the match than to potentially offend the Averys.

Violet doesn't know that I'm in the Order or that I'm sharing the information gathering she instigates with the Order. I've been nudging her toward getting out of the country with the baby and forgetting about noble bullocks like freedom and democracy. She's afraid for her family. And she's afraid they'll take the baby away from her.

I think she wants to build a better world for her kid - one that we agree with - than what's in the Death Eaters' world view. And she doesn't agree with them. She's been there for me when I've been on the other end of Yaxley's wand. I'm sorry I didn't say anything before now and yes, I'd let it slip to Fred. I didn't want to tell anyone because she is young like me and scared, I was respecting her wishes about staying quiet and I was kind of gobsmacked by how delicate this situation truly was. I also haven't cut off communication because I wanted her to have someone in her ear affirming that Death Eaters are bad and that she should be running from them. But because it's clearly being announced: yes, all of the information I just shared is what I can affirm.

What should we do? And yes of course I'll submit to an Imperius test at any time.

[WEASLEYS + SPOUSES]

Hi there. Of course I'm not going to the wedding. I hate that this is happening to her and while I expect to get an invite, I'm not going to willingly walk into a Death Eater sandwich, particularly when I have also so grossly offended my older brother by not attending his wedding. We can all agree that "Percy is stupid" but not that stupid.

I asked Fred to keep it quiet because he was going to announce it publicly and well, I don't really want to give them any more reason to target us. I also didn't want to shame a young girl and a future mum who feels like she doesn't have a lot of choices. And I would really like to help her but I'm open to the idea that this isn't the kind of person the family or the Order wants to help, so there's that.

[ORDER]

Today in the MRC a Muggleborn was arrested for withholding her heritage. That Muggleborn was Becca Dunstan. She's in the same year with Angelina, Alicia, Fred and George. I don't know where she's being held or if she's off to Azkaban, but. I wanted you to hear it from me.

... and we should get her parents somewhere safe, too.

[OLIVER, PERCY, LAYLA, KATIE]

What happened to Keaton? Who did him?

The public outburst which I undertook does not befit an employee of the Ministry of Magic and I humbly ask your pardon for my actions. I understand that I must be a good example and as such, will do my very utmost to continue providing the Minister a trusted and faithful assistant while illustrating my unswerving devotion to the Wizarding republic in Britain.

It will not happen again.

[ORDER + WEASLEYS]

A ruse required to keep my life job. They want blonde, tractable Percy back. Of course they're not getting him. But he's a good chess piece for the Order.

At this time, I still have all my access as previous. I have to meet regularly with Yaxley to prove myself, though.

[FRED + GEORGE]

I still meant every single thing I said about Montague. Fuck the lot of them and I can't wait to see how fantastically you overcome this. I believe in your intelligence, your reputation, and I believe in your desire for revenge.

[VIOLET]

That was hard.

WORK DAMN YOU

[OLIVER]

It took seven tries to make this ward stick.

The moment you get married, you realise you'd rather spend Valentine's Day on your sofa with Netflix and your husband rather than going out. Yes, I do think we're already old.

But it is good to be back at work. The well-oiled machine of the Ministry runs on and seeks to create a safe environment for all.

[WEASLEY FAMILY + ALICIA + ANGELINA + OLIVER]

Read a few things and hearing a few things that are giving me pause, this morning. I just want to make sure everyone's safe.

And again, welcome home, Charlie. Stay a while this time. I'm bringing that plum brandy to you directly. No need to hit up a bar.

[VIOLET]

Why were you there I'm so sorry you were injured.

[FAMILY & FRIENDS of OLIVER & PERCY]

It would be nice to see you all Saturday morning at 9:00 for breakfast at the Pickled Pig in Soho. It's Muggle so IDs are not required and not recommended. We've got several tables and after we eat, will be off for a weekend in Rio (Christmas present) in which we plan to be married.

We will be eating breakfast, then having a small wedding ceremony, after which we will be going away for the weekend. Oliver has a Christmas present that I left for him in Rio.

When everyone in our family can be present, we intend to have another ceremony. There will be tents and ostentatious floral arrangements. Oliver will wear a white suit and I will dress entirely in black. We will liberate Lucius Malfoy's poor albino peacocks and they will be our ring bearers. It will be the talk of Wizarding London for all of it's progressive glee.

But the truth is, we also don't want to wait. So in the meantime, we are hoping you can see us off. We love you all very much. And when we get back, there is work to do.

[ROGER & OLIVER]

And we're hoping you can watch the pups? They have taken such a shine to you.

[ANGELINA]

ATTACHMENT: .mp4 of Dolores Umbridge having an ashen, shrill hissy @ the Ministry.

If anyone asks, you got this from Clark Kent.

[DEDALUS DIGGLE]

So, you're friends with my dad and you're definitely not a Death Eater.

Right?

[ETA: OLIVER]

I invited vigilantes to the house for duelling practise.

[WEASLEYS & OLIVER]

I'm sorry I didn't really write sooner, I wasn't really permitted. I got a message from George and I know that Bill's whole. I imagine you'd tell me if

Did everyone make it through quite all right?

I'm coming home tomorrow.

[FRIENDS]

I know we're all in a twist right now, but I want you to know that I'm glad you're here. Please do continue staying here.

I promise that's the last maudlin thing I'll say in 2018.

[ROGER, PERCY, OLIVER]

I'm coming home tomorrow with a nurse, but Roger, feel free to stay. Oh, forever.

Decent people exist. I promise you. Please don't give u

On this day in 1943, the Americans attempted to bomb Italian railroads to thwart Mussolini's attendance at a lecture being given by Hitler. The bombing was an attempt to force Italy to resist Hitler's power.

[GAWAIN]

Give me something to refute this swill.

[ANGELINA]

I know you're wrecked and there's nothing to say that makes it better. I'm putting quill shavings in her sugar today, at the very least.

[MUM & DAD]

... can I come home tonight?

Eldritch Diggory was the Minister for Magic from 1733-1747. As a progressive Minister, he established the Auror recruitment programme. He also realised that the inmates at Azkaban prison were quickly losing their senses and dying of despair. He established a committee to reform Azkaban, remove the Dementors as guards and explore alternatives for imprisonment.

Unfortunately - before his reforms could take shape - Eldritch Diggory died of dragon pox.

[WEASLEYS, OLIVER, ANGELINA]

The Walkman works - the one that has the Celestina Warbeck song that repels Dementors? I have 15. They're undetectable and invisible. Thanks for helping get the kinks out of the spellwork dad, Arthur.

Let me know if you want one.

[WEASLEYS, ANGELINA]

I'm so angry with you right now!

EDITED TO ADD: Strike angry, I'm just really scared for all of you basically all the time.

[OLIVER]

Relevant. When we were boys. Relevant. Now.

Fred was talking about our wedding?

[OLIVER, WEASLEYS, ANGELINA]

You should see the real-time data coming in on this ID Badge database. You're being tracked by location, by purchase and by interaction.

Efficient processes make for short lines.

[OLIVER, FRED, GEORGE, BILL, FLEUR, ANGELINA]

I don't want to worry Mum and D
Arth fuck parents with this but what the Godric-fuck? What do I do? This is different from a gala.

[MINISTRY]

In creating the workflow which will identify reporting requirements to appraise the Minister of the new ID registration initiative, please provide the following:

Department who owns the Initative

Charms specific to ID badge

Information which ID badge contains

Data columns required for tracking purposes

Head who signs off on ID badge

Requesting response by 20:00 on 4 December.

P.I.W.

[OLIVER]

Fred's acting off. That's all I know. Will let you know if they decide to tell me more.

[WEASLEYS & OLIVER & ANGELINA & PENNY]

Went by the Magic is Might statue as I have to do every day. There's a new face that looks eerily similar to Phelan Whelan.

Conjecture: People are being murdered and subsumed into the statue. This includes Moody and Wadcock.

Possibility: I am hellishly paranoid.

Inevitability: I won't be home until late, Oliver.

Happy Birthday, Bill.

PS expect a new Head for DRCMC very soon.

Cheers to you, Ms. Peony, for a fine gala. I know great deal of galleons shall be donated to the Hospital.

[WEASLEYS & OLIVER & ANGELINA]

Survived the Parkinson gala with little to tell other than the following:

- Malfoys, Traverses, Selwyns, Burkes, Juggs, and Betty Braithwaite were present, amongst others. Some known Death Eaters, others simply (?) Purist
- Peony is a fine dancer and a gracious hostess. I was briefly mistaken for a Greengrass cousin, and browbeaten over not being interested in securing a family connection, but it wasn't long until Linden Parkinson came by to remind Calliope that I am Percival Weasley and on we went.
- Nothing particularly incriminating seeming donated, though I am quite sure the Burke item had some kind of Dark Magic attached (obvious, given their line of business)
- Umbridge is a messy drinker (that I could have told you already) and announced to her table that the Wandless really ought to be sent to workhouses. This is something to keep an eye on because I did spot a Junior Wizengamot staffer with a sparkle in his eye when she started her speech.
- After a few dances, I hopped the window in the loo and found a spot to Disapparate. At any rate, it still makes sense to maintain the ruse. It may yet come to some sort of advantage to help reclaim the government in a lawful manner.

[GAWAIN & CAROLINE]

I have to send you my most heartfelt apologies regarding the legislation passed regarding lessons. The money is impossible unless you are an Avery, a Malfoy or a Black. But in the meantime, I thank you for the time and the instruction you afforded me.

[GAWAIN]

Your paperwork's gone through and not a peep at the Parkinson gala about it. The set we're looking to shock and awe is rather in line to be shocked and awed satisfactorily.

[PENNY]

Can you cast a Patronus? We've discussed all but.

[OLIVER, FRED, GEORGE, BILL, FLEUR]

Let me know if you need tea, Oliver. There's a boggart in the tin of Earl Grey. I'm in the garden and dinner's burnt.

Brothers, regulation states that I am should turn this poor creature over to the Spirit Division. But I'm getting angry. Can you use it?

ETA: ADD MOLLY TO WARD
Mum, are you okay?

[ROBARDS]

Did I tell you someone owled me a box of eyeballs? Well, now I have. I got a boggart in a box, too.

The dog park that's off Diagon Alley isn't getting our business anymore. There's another nice one in Harrogate and still another in Hampstead Heath.

[OLIVER]

We've got 2 rather interesting invitations to discuss.

a) Dinner at Mum's with the family. She's using the hot sauce, and you're spared questions of pregnancy. The entire family will be there. I mean everybody.
b) A charity gala put on by the Purists for Purists on behalf of St. Mungos. It's a Parkinson tradition, and my first year getting a bloody invite.

[GAWAIN]

I can submit the paperwork next Friday. The Wizengamot representative for Tinworth's 129, tired and ready to spend his days oogling young ladies in Brighton. So, if you're ready.

[MUM]

Has anything come of the cassette players?

[PENNY]

Checking in.

I've been doing a fair bit of reading in my free time. (Gasps of shock abound, I know.)

But something that I particularly appreciate is learning about historical figures and how they, in times of dire situations, kept their wits about them and successfully navigated difficulties they faced. My latest studies have been in the letters and diaries of Minister Leonard Spencer-Moon. Of course, you all must know him. This is the Minister who began his career as a tea boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. He worked his way up the ladder and was well-placed, after Hector Fawley's political downfall, to lead. And he lead the country through a period of great international turmoil, ensuring the safety and the well-being of everyone.

Minister Spencer-Moon is a sort of hero of mine.

He was apparently quite close to the Muggle Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. And though the following quote is attributed to Churchill, many scholars of Wizarding History instead suggest that Churchill is quoting Minister Spencer-Moon. And I found this in a recently uncovered sheath of letters. As such, I'll share it with you now without additional commentary:

We live in a country where the people own the Government and not in a country where the Government owns the people. Thought is free, speech is free, religion is free, no one can say that the Press is not free. In short, we live in a liberal society, the direct product of the great advances in human dignity, stature and well-being which will ever be the glory of the nineteenth century.

[MUM]

Hello, you. I'm sorry I haven't written in a few days. Dad's quite good at tinkering with Muggle technology. I've put the Warbeck song on a cassette and bought a Walkman - it's this device they used for music playing in the 1980s. Do you think he could find a way to make it undetectable to magic and invisible? Please let me know what he says. I want to bring it up to Oliver, then maybe get the help of Angelina and the twins to mass produce it for our friends.

Anonymous owls are all the rage, it seems. Very well. I understand you perfectly.

[WEASLEYS + OLIVER]

But in my limited experience, owlpost is generally a bit less literal.

I ... think some of these are human.
