DISORDER JOURNALS

Some moments of levity are required. I've smiled - really smiled - for the first time in years. You're all so very different and unique. Our differences should be celebrated and me, I'm curious by nature.

So, I figured I would learn a little bit about you ...

( SEE BELOW )

Rest in torture, Peter Pettigrew, you unrepentant twat.

Death Eaters and their leader have now ended the lives of almost all of my friends from school. From our group, I'm the only one left. The one that should have And I feel like you need to know why:

Peter Pettigrew was a Death Eater who betrayed his friends to YKW so that he could murder them that night in Godric's Hollow.

Peter Pettigrew, in his fear, staged his own disappearance and allowed Sirius Black to be accused of his crimes. The precious Ministry happily convicted him and sent him to Azkaban for 12 years.

Sirius Black escaped and while, in his life, he was never validated or exonerated for killing his best friend or his wife, I am here to currently report that he did not kill them. He was wrongfully imprisoned by a man who was coddled by Death Eaters, manipulated by their tactics and his own weaknesses, until he could no longer understand what was good or moral in this world.

Peter Pettigrew was neither a hero nor even a good friend. He was a coward and the worst kind of Death Eater; he had love, he had acceptance, he had brotherhood. But he didn't care about it.

Death Eaters and Purists, save your bloviating bullocks. I will not answer it.

[ORDER]

I wanted to share with you the last thing Ted told me before she was murdered by Death Eaters - [screenshot]

And in so sharing, I wanted to remind myself of what not only I lost and my family lost, but what we are now missing. Don't forget why we're fighting. Remember Ted.

[ORDER]

transcribed

What began as snark turned into an opportunity. A couple items:

a) Is this real (should I do it)?
b) To her items, how should I respond?
c) Would we be willing to publish our own response, in case she's been struck by her love of spin?

I hope you all had a very fine Saturday. Unless you're a Death Eater, then I do hope you choked on your green beer.

Most of us know of Patrick as the holy man who drove snakes out of Ireland, but that's not all he did. Found in the 13th century text, On the Marvels of Ireland, is a story wherein he visited a clan that began to howl at him during his preaching. So upset by their cheek, Patrick prayed that God might teach them some sort of lesson. God obliged him and turned these men into wolves, so much that; "all the members of that clan are changed into wolves for a period and roam through the woods feeding upon the same food as wolves; but they are worse than wolves, for in all their wiles they have the wit of men, though they are as eager to devour men as to destroy other creatures."

A few uncouth scholars have suggested that this story is the origin of the werewolf, that we are come from these Irish clans and have effectively spread throughout Britain. I find it a lot of bunk and codswallop by individuals who would like to taint Muggles and Magical Creatures in one fell swoop. Werewolves existed long before Saint Patrick.

However, it is for this reason that on Saint Patrick's Day, I choose to raise a glass to Saint Gertrude instead.

[ORDER]

This is me, checking in with you. I won't be ignorant enough to ask you if you're all right, but would like to know that you are safe, warm and plotting. Should you need anything, you know I'm right here for you.

Funny thing about turning 38, the aches and pains are still there when you bend down to tie your shoes. But the shoes find their way across the room. Any pair I picked up did the same thing. But as it turns out, I had a pair of boots that didn't belong to me that were perfect for the wearing.

What's equally as insane is that we're going to have the b we're still living under a state of emergency because evil assholes have undertaken to dissolve our government, kill and disenfranchise rightful Witches and Wizards while scapegoating them and anyone who looks or seems just slightly left of center.

Their tool is fear, of course. But I promise you that there are people in Britain who are working to ensure that you do not have to fear much longer. Please hold on. And if you need us, we'll be there for you.

[TONKS]

Only another couple of months. We should be talking names. If you wanted a star name, I almost feel positive feelings about poor Orion, as he left us his library to pilfer. Oriondorus Lupus Starboy Tonks-Lupin

[ORDER]

Angelina, Rolf? Here's your chance. On Wednesday, Benefactors of Traditional Cultural Heritage Valentine's Day Gala (I feel dirty just writing it) will likely hold the attention of most every Purist in our circle. I think it's a good opportunity to let those horses go free.

We can scramble distractions for you at the event so that in the lead up before you hit the wards, we can have them distracted and give you the time to get in and get out before the Lestranges know better. No one should be anywhere long. Light and quick, yes?

[LEON, TONKS, & ANY DUELING STUDENTS]

Tomorrow is a super blue blood moon. I will be staying away longer than I do generally. If there is an emergency, Tonks or Leon know how to find me.

[ORDER]

In the interest of time and speed, I would like to follow up on our meeting points and bring the following recruits to a vote:

Leon Stebbins

Andromeda Tonks

Ted Tonks

Rolf Scamander

Please comment yes or no beneath their names for a fair tabulation.

Furthermore, I'll be reaching out to our Quidditch friends tonight. I want to gauge their interest in assisting the Wandless -- perhaps a little Valentine's Day surprise? -- and if they're willing to work with our organisation. I will keep you apprised of the fall out. However, in the meantime, anyone who would like to plan the next Wandless escape, let's have a brainstorming session. I'd like to do the following:

Plan the ward removal and the distraction

Plan the Wandless organization and the portkey / side-along escape

Ensure the place we choose to bring them is safe

Utilize Muggle transportation to get them out of Britain with some cash in hand

[OLIVER W., KEATON F., GRACE J. ROGER D.] warded separately, though Tonks & Angelicia can view / comment separately to Remus

Pardon the intrusion. I believe that you know who I am and the organisation I represent. It's come to my attention that you - and a group of your friends - are interested in helping to free more Wandless from Diagon Alley. You share this goal with the Order of the Phoenix.

Because we believe that we're stronger together, I would like to reach out to you and gauge your interest in assisting us. The first thing you will have to understand is that what we're doing is quite contrary to the current rule of law. The second is that in order to be safe, we are very passionate about keeping identities hidden. Except of course, for some more or less outed members such as myself. That is why I have no qualms about reaching out to you.

You could be called on to work with us. I would like to know the following:
a) what are your thoughts regarding working in conjunction with a vigilante organisation? b) are you willing to work with us, keep our plans and identities safe and secret, in order to undermine the rule of law in the Ministry and return Britain to the society it should be? c) what sort of effort are you willing to undertake? d) do you have any ideas regarding what you could potentially do?

If you would like to have a conversation in person, please let me know. Thank you.

I'll tell you a secret. The Werewolves I know aren't dark, bloodthirsty beasts glad to snack on your flesh and turn you. Most of them, when not living a nomad's lifestyle to live somewhere mildly above poverty, are scared to death of the Ministry. And they're scared that Fenrir Greyback's rule will mean that they will be castigated, spurned and hunted all the more than they have been previously.

As we keep ourselves safe I would only ask that you remember that the actions of a few hell-bent on terror do not make up the will of the majority. It is the same with Werewolves and the Ministry as it is with Wizards and the Ministry.

Find your voice. You're quite a lot louder than they are if you'll only stop fearing them.

[DEDALUS]

I know it can be harrowing to be out of your home, especially with the full moon and me. But you are both welcome here quite as long as you need or desire it. We're safe as we can be. Plus, living fully whilst flaunting the law has rather become a bit of art for us.

Things to ask yourself in the New Year:

A) How is providing extra discounts based on blood status supporting the economy?
B) What kind of information do you continue to give away by keeping those ID cards in your pockets?
C) Your children are learning Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Believe the Quibbler.

And a piece of advice: darkened windows and quiet households will help keep you from being noticed by marauding groups of werewolves at the upcoming full moon. Werewolves seek out light, noise and community when under the influence of the wolf. With Greyback managing their registration, access to Wolfsbane and assuredly permitting them to run with him, stay quiet. Keep dittany on hand.

[ORDER]

I hope you all had a Christmas that was full of as much peace as you could muster and was rather brimming with hope, too. We haven't had much in the way of news from Harry, Hermione or Ron (despite Ron's brief appearance with Bill and Fleur). The kids at school are being tor well, I think they're being tortured. Hope's hard to come by.

But Gawain Robards' election certifies that we can turn the tide from the favour of the Death Eaters and Purists. I'm going to keep prodding publicly. Please be careful if you plan to do so, as well. But we cannot let the plight of the Muggleborns in hiding or the Wandless to go by the wayside, either. Perhaps we can utilise the map to plot a multi-portkey escape option using Molly's password. It's time for a bit of flash, don't you say? I'd also like to revisit the idea of recruitment. We'd put some ideas and names forth at at pre-holiday Order party, but I'm hoping we can revisit these ideas.

In my opinion, it's about time for another meeting. Wouldn't you say?

EDITED TO ADD: I've also been in contact with Leon Stebbins, who's going to be manning a clinic for those who St. Mungo's won't see. I'd like to help him get the information to the right people. We can discuss this at the next Order meeting too, perhaps?

[ORDER]

Well done, all of you. Report in and let us know if you need healing. The Abbey's gone, but that means the Death Eaters can't use it either. I'm thankful for you.

And I would like to thank you for trusting me, for believing that I wasn't dead, and trust me. I didn't murder a little girl, no matter what the paper said.

[LEON]

Mate, I can't thank you enough.

[TED]

How was
Thank you for your help.

[ORDER]

i don't have a lot of time. but i'm really very sorry. i've been kept for 2 weeks and she's tried to get harry's location out of me but given i don't know it and none of us do, it's been a rather fruitless endeavor. she's let me go.

but it's come with a condition. i'm being tracked. and the tracking chip is emitting a poison, as well as my position. i am supposed to give up the order's headquarters or harry in 18 hours. elsewise, i'm dead. none of these things are going to happen, clearly.

your help, however, and your ideas, would be greatly appreciated.

If you're interested in remembering Lily and James Potter in a non-official "Ministry sanctioned" fashion, perhaps you'll join me in leaving flowers in the meadow behind what was once their house. I'll be there until dusk.

See you tomorrow in Godric's Hollow.

[ORDER]

We'd discussed growing our ranks in other meetings. Tonks and myself, we brought up Jeremy and Owen Dearborn as viable candidates. They're well-trained, well-connected, and most importantly, they're passionate about equality. I'm sure I do not need to list their positive attributes in order for you to make a decision but if it helps, do allow me:

OWEN DEARBORN, former Auror, still has a place in the DMLE and can not only pass information back and forth, but use his training to help us when it comes to battling the Death Eaters.

JEREMY DEARBORN is a Healer at St Mungos, in the spell damage ward. We certainly need more doctors amongst us as Ted should keep hidden and Leon does what he does with no questions asked.

To my mind, their qualifications speak for themselves. Both have proved themselves passionate about equality, even to the point of danger. We spoke with them tonight and they want in.

The next step is to cast your vote at our next Order meeting.

[JORT]

You're proposed. There will be a vote at the next meeting.

All right, Prophet. I've cancelled my subscription.

[ORDER]

Consider this my opportunity to check in on you lot and ensure that you are safe. I know we're all involved in a variety of projects, attempting to loose this Death Eating stranglehold. But as many arms are working, we are one organisation united in the purpose to bring freedom back to our country.

So, how are you? Is there anything I can do for you?

( PRIVATE )

In case you harboured even a modicum of doubt: Fenrir Greyback does not speak for all werewolves.

[ORDER]

Going on Hestia's entry, it's time to start considering ourselves a mobile unit. Keeping people safe and keeping You-Know-Who at bay should be our primary function while Harry finishes his mission. That means we have to get organized.

1. SELF-DEFENSE

Hestia, you are a personal bodyguard. Would you be willing to teach a class to any Order members who are willing to learn with you? Don't hold back.

2. DARK CREATURES/DARK ARTS

Inferius and werewolves in the space of a week. I am, admittedly, rather more familiar with the latter than the former. But I taught many of you once and I will do it again. You have the coordinates the Canal House in Limpley Stoke. Meet there on Tuesdays at 20:00 and we'll start up lessons again. How to recognize, defend and protect yourself against dark creatures and dark arts. We'll also be perfecting your use of the Patronus if you need it.

3. MEDICINE

We have Tonks' mum and my friend. Anyone else? How are we with potions? I'm 2 more weeks until usable Polyjuice.

4. WANDLESS

It's now illegal to help them in any way. As such, please attempt to be as quiet with your help as possible until we have the map of Diagon complete, we have the Hitwizard rotation and the building rendered Unplottable. At that point, I think we can start organizing Disapparition parties. Fred and George, can you keep an eye out for us?

5. JOURNALS

Keep up the fight. Know, however, that the more you talk back to Death Eaters, the more that they will make a target of you, anyone you love, or you even mildly find inoffensive. Consider it before you go on the record and use caution. We are coming up on too many coincidences and there are many of you with a lot to lose. Please be careful.

6. MISCELLANEOUS

Do you have a specialty? We can use it. Speak up. We need every bit of talent.

If this was inappropriate, I am s Please let me know what else I can do in the meantime.

[OWEN & JEREMY DEARBORN + TONKS]

How are you two holding up?

ORDER

Hestia was hurt while we delivered food to the Wandless this afternoon. She's safe, but I'm going to call on Leon to help her. Lucius got her with a nasty slashing hex. I left the food there because she needed to go quickly. If someone could go get it? Check on the remaining Wandless?

Be prepared for Rabastan and Lucius.

LEON STEBBINS

Leon, my friend was hurt and she needs your help. We need to keep this under the radar. You understand, don't you?

Fenrir Greyback. What fun.

You can all go to hell. (Merrily, of course.)

If anyone is being "snatched", raise up the flag and let me know where you're at. I'll come help you get out.

[ORDER]

31 August. Where are we at?

1. How many Muggleborns have willingly Registered?

2. What happened to them? Why aren't we hearing their voices?

3. What happens when a Muggleborn registers?

4. Why is the Ministry silent?

[ORDER]

Kudos abound for Tonks - the anonymous piece continued to position us as a bastion of support for local Muggleborns. We must and will continue to speak out for them. The timeline is a bit more desperate. We need:

Cloaked and warded safe locations for Muggleborns

Unregistered, untraceable portkeys to sanctuary locations

A continued effort to produce forged documents helping Muggleborns to leave the country

If the Prophet is going to publish lists of innocent citizens, I think it's my duty to suspend my subscription. Let's start a list of alternate, reputable media sources. And ... go!

[BILL]

As your wolfy sensei, I feel as though it is my duty to say I hope you're enjoying the hell out of the new moon.

By the way - Happy Birthday, Bellatrix. Hope you choke on cake! ♥

One of the more fascinating details surrounding urban archaeology is the wealth of data academics have been able to glean from privvies. You see, especially when London was a soup of smog and half-dead overworked 8 year olds, public sanitation was less of a priority than it is today and you did your business in a very nasty box in the courtyard. As houses were added to the public sewage line, these privies would be filled in with any sort of thing that was close at hand.

Today, excavating stone privy wells are a booming trade and we've learned quite a lot about daily life in Victorian London. Folks in New York City, St. Louis and even Cincinnati are engaging in some of the same sort of 'academic rigor'. So, big ups to privies for making us see the reality beyond what the histories written by well-connected toffs would suggest.

(By the bye? If this were Victorian London, how about this. I wouldn't even use that article to wipe my arse after a good long shit. As someone who has been Registered, allow me to say to you Muggleborns ... don't you dare trust it.)

Cheers to the lot of you. I'm off lunch, now.
