The Breach

The Order picks up that something is amiss on Diagon Alley, and when Death Eaters do show up (as they had dropped the clues in the tip line to intentionally draw the Order out) it launches the Alley into a battleground. Death Eaters turn on the Order to keep them busy, while continuing to make a stir with structural damages to shops not bearing signs against Muggle-born employment and patronage. Before long, the Dark Lord arrives, and a Patronus message is sent from the Order to Dumbledore, begging him to come. Only later does it become apparent about how the Death Eaters were not attacking anyone but the Order, and later on any D. M. L. E. who arrived.

• This thread will be available through the weekend, although the effective date of the event is August 1st. If you would rather do a log than a thread, you may do that and post the log in the main community, then put a link to the log on appropriate time frame in the comments below. Death Eaters, Order members, DMLE, and Civilians may all be involved. Before jumping in, check character assignments available on the August 1 Battle plot post (Additional questions may also be directed there).
• Given that this is a first (and not quite so large) battle, it'll just be a situation of doing as much as you feel comfortable with taking on. Future battles will be more structured, so don't worry! We're still getting up momentum.
