Re: Harry/Ron/Hermione/Draco/Padma
I was being facetious, Potter. I may worry about the collective sanity between you three from time to time, but I know you're not stupid.
Right. So, Hermione and Draco, you can join Peter and Theo and I this afternoon. We can use our usual brainstorming meeting to bring the two of them up to speed and start divvying up tasks. I'll talk to my sister about going home this weekend. That will give me tomorrow to coordinate with Remus and Regulus. I'll also make a list of who else I want to bring in. Most of them can split time with research and their current jobs, I think.
I'm going to suggest that if you really want to tell everyone, don't do it in journals. You don't want it in writing in case somehow someone you never intended is brought back or someone from the outside cracks those filters. I can reach out to the consultants after you make an announcement.
I also don't think we can experiment now, though. Academic research only until we have a better idea of what we're dealing with. This isn't just testing the castle's magic any longer.
