[Impenetrable Ward to all Resistance Members]

We should all probably meet to discuss where to go from here.

[Heavily Warded to All Resistance Members - Posted in the early evening]
I know today is a holiday for a lot of you, so I apologize for taking time out of that to speak with you all. But there is something I need to let you all know, and it can't wait.

A little over a week ago I was approached for a possible alliance that I know will make a lot of you uncomfortable, including myself. But please believe me when I say I would not have done this unless I believed it was both beneficial and safe for all of us. After a lot of thought, and a face to face meeting, it has been decided that Ginny Weasley, as well as her fiance Rabastan Lestrange, will join the Resistance alongside us. They have also both opted to sign the same document that the rest of you have, which holds them to the same standards and assures that Rabastan Lestrange will not betray us, unless he wants to forfeit his own life in the process.

After years alongside Ginny, as well as adopting Teddy as one of his own, and fully coming to understand the burden all Muggleborns and those who assist them are placed with, he agrees that this administration needs to be disbanded, and the wards brought down. I know it will anger a lot of you, but similarly to many of us, Lestrange has faced a lot of roadblocks in trying to assist us behind the scenes. Allowing for the open forum after a march which he refused to let the DMLE break up, as well as giving the Maiden Head and all profits to muggleborns who work there was his attempt at a sign of good faith. However, as we all know, there are many others who are vehemently against this, and are seeking to remove power from him. Meaning any small step forward we have started, can quickly be yanked out from under us.

You don't have to like this, all I ask is that you accept it and understand this decision was not made lightly. He was one of the individuals who tortured my parents, and while he stopped when he realized they would not give up information while others did not, that is a difficult thing to see past. I just ask for your trust once more, as this is a huge win for us to have a key political figure on our side, even if his position is waning.

[Impenetrable Ward to Justin and Ernie]
I need to talk to you both about something before I open it up to the entire Resistance.

Because it can either change or ruin everything, depending on how it's received.

[Impenetrable Ward to Justin]
Ginny has been attacked.

I've been told to fall back for safety. Going to the tunnels for a while.

[Impenetrable Ward to Kevin]
I won't... I have to vacate my place for a little while.

I'm sorry.

[impenetrable Ward to Hermione]
I hate to ask this, but is it done?

[Impenetrable Ward to Rebellion]
I don't think it needs to be said this is not good.

Diana Ollivander was one of ours. She knew things about our organization, and what just happened can only best be described as ultimate betrayal. I'm not sure who got to her, and when, but the implications will be far reaching.

The best I can tell you right now is to lay as low as you can, but still continue on with your day to day. Be ever vigilant right now and keep your coins close. There will be an upcoming meeting scheduled to discuss where we go from here, they will tell you when and where.

Think it's about time to bring back an important piece of advice from a great man now gone: Constant Vigilance.

[Kevin]
She's found.

Not in good shape.

That's literally all I know, but I wanted... I wanted to let you know.

[Benji]
Thought you should know Melinda is back.

Something happened. But what it sounds like is whatever happened, tracks were covered.

[Rebellion]
Everyone, please, keep your heads low and your mouths shut in the coming days. There is little doubt in my mind this will be blamed on us, and we do not need to add to that perception. Someone has died, and no matter what our differences, they deserve respect and empathy.

And while I hate to ask this... None of you knew anything about what happened to Mrs. Yaxley, right? I have to know. It's imperative.

[Justin | Ernie]
This is bad. Worse than explosion bad.

What tea helps cure panic?

[Ernie]
You free today then? I'd like to see you. Might help me take my mind off some shit too.

[Kevin]
You wouldn't happen to have any more tea, do you?

Note to self, cats don't like squirrels.

Pretty sure a pipe burst in the ceiling again. Anyone slightly more handy have any words of advice on how to fix this before my flat turns into an aquarium. Justin?

What day is it?

[Mandy]
We should meet soon.

Game on.

[Warded to Hermione]

Hey, happy birthday.

Come over? I have something for you.

[Warded to Friends and the Rebellion - Comments warded as well]
I know this probably isn't the best time, but I've been thinking.

I know it's hard for a lot of us to relax and enjoy ourselves in our situation. Money is tight, work is priority, there's nothing to really be happy about.

But I think we should have our own party. Friday night. On the rooftop of Cracked Stone Lane. Come any time. Bring whatever. Or bring nothing but yourself.

And then after, we get to work.

It is open to all the public to listen to, if they so choose. Neville is obviously filled with genuine emotion here, and it's hard to discount the sincerity in his voice. It is available for broadcasting from 10:15 PM on Saturday night until 1 PM on Sunday afternoon, when the Ministry finally disables it] )

[Impenetrable Ward to both sides of the Rebellion]
I need to know what the fuck actually happened. Now.

For once, I don't care if I'm being a dick or demanding, but everyone's names are being smeared and I need to know the truth of what the hell went down. And why no one told me about it, especially if you're on my side, or whatever you claim to be.
