[ORDER minus DUMBLEDORE]

We have a lot to talk about. And there is no point in keeping secrets or splitting off from one another, now. We're either all in -- or we're out. Got it? Good. If all this is going to work -- I need you. We need each other.

Is everybody available to come to my house tonight, say around 17:00? Bring a dish, and I'll have dinner waiting.

[Former Members of the Order (not including Sirius, but does include James and the Prewetts)]

The fuck?

[DMLE]

Would someone care to offer an explanation for how the known victim of a ten year cold Death Eater murder case is running around calling for rebellion?

[Mar]

Wrench in the plan or opportunity? I'm not sure.

DMLE.
First full moon with Greyback in the country.


Rosalind.
Working tonight? Not sure I'll be able to sleep.

How can I assist in the investigation?

It is not worse to be turned than killed! Werewolves are still alive and powerful for everyone to be so scared and if you don't even have his body or know how he died how do you know it was so brutal and humans don't do as bad? Fenrir is right, wizards just think they are better than everyone. You're not. You treat werewolves so bad they can't even have jobs to buy food, why are you surprised we hate you? You are right to be scared that's all. This will change now we have that book.



Oops! I read in the newspaper about that man at the ministry being killed and it made me spill my ink. What an awful article.

[Mar]

Because fuck classified information at this point: Someone who may or may not be Greyback strolled into the Ministry after killing a clerk. So just a refresher:

• Rosier and Lestrange escape
• Trixie back in town
• Greyback chatting up that foreign bird over Rosier's journal
• Maybe-Greyback in the Ministry

They're moving fast.



If we're going to do this, we're going to need recruits targets marks people. And we're going to need a name.

[Gids Prewett, G.]

Mar says me, you, and your brother all jumped in to yell at her for going on a date with Trixie Black.

WHO: Marlene McKinnon and Benjy Fenwick
WHAT: Drunk people with nothing to lose planning vengeance. What could go wrong.
WHEN: Last night I think
WHERE: Marlene's pub in Dundee
STATUS: Complete narrative!

( Somebody has to. Might as well be us. )

Is that true, that magic works better where you're from? Does it only work for wizards or centours, elves, werewolves and things too with their things? That is very interesting.

Is part of the intern hiring qualifications "please be as absolutely useless as possible"? Because mission bloody accomplished.

[Hitwizards. And Aurors because the Deputy Head is making her.]

The Missing Person's from this morning has been ruled a homicide. There is a 99.9% chance that the only dark magic involved employed the use of teeth as a murder weapon, but apparently that's enough of a reason to keep the Aurors from feeling unincluded.

• Forensics was able to identify the bag of teeth found where the Werewolf Registry was kept as belonging to Ian Bassenthwaite, Registry Clerk.


• No sign of the body, nor of the book.


• Suspect appears to be a tall, light haired, white male in his 50s. Was last seen wearing glasses, a clean, blu grey blue light colored shirt with a dark tie, and trousers featuring a large dark-roast coffee stain in the area between the bottom of his shirt and his knees.


• Suspect is possibly Fenrir Greyback.


• DoMT is in the process of tracing the last known Floo Deposit made by Fireplace 64.


• He is also in possession of Bassenthwaite's wand. Registration has observation ready to track its use.

Strange, I think, the way one's home soil can act as a tonic. Strange to think that my magic is ever stronger when I am rooted in English soil and tied to the legacy of my forebears. Strange to think that you - that any of you - might think to take it away from me, or from mine, ever again.

[BENJY FENWICK]

( NSFWesque talk )

[DMLE]
So Evan Rosier has not seen fit to get out of the country and run off to South America. I guess +1 for still having a chance at catching him, -5 for whatever plans he has that merit him staying here and getting a blackmarket journal. I really, really don't like this.
[/DMLE]

Such fuss.

Does the DMLE Have a Drink Problem?
A certain loudmouthed Auror has been frequently spotted at downscale pubs consuming frankly alarming amounts of poor quality alcohol. "Oi, that [name redacted] Ministry tosser's a regular," says one eyewitness. "Prolly keepin' em solely in business at this point. Also, they water down their ale!" A pending investigation into whether or not pubs have correct liquor licences. This isn't the first time we've heard about Aurors imbibing more than they should. Do we, readers, feel pity for this dwindling department whose stubborn remaining members are becoming increasingly irrelevant, an existential problem that is clearly driving the more weak-willed to substance abuse? Or do we feel outrage that we fund these irresponsible Ministry workers? Chime in with your opinions!

Back at it Again
Our favourite convicted murderer reveals more about his childhood of torturing magical creatures. While word has it he still converses and even takes tea with his equally infamous cousin, a certain feared Death Eater at large! With our gentleman murderer's intimate familiarity with the prison and our terrifying Death Eater's fugitive status and brazen loyalty to You-Know-Who, these names are sure to top the Ministry's list of suspects in the recent Azkaban breakout. Who do you think is responsible behind the breakout, readers?

Where's the Exterminator?
The uptick in werewolf animal attacks amongst rural Britain has culminated in the brutal slaughter of a foal said to be valued at 50.000 galleons, the spawn of famous winged racers Wind Beneath My Wings and Luck Be A Lady. Witnesses say owner Madsen Grapplehorn is positively fuming over the loss of his massive investment and infuriated by the incompetent protections provided by the ranch at which the foal was being raised. Werewolves are required to ingest Wolfsbane Potion for every full moon, but there is hardly much enforcement of the law, action is only taken after a crime has occurred, and more often than not, the beast gets away with it due to the time elapsed between the crime and its discovery. Is the Ministry doing enough to protect her citisens against this beastly blight? As we all know, prevention is the KEY to reducing criminal activity. Do you have any werewolf stories to share?

Hogwarts: Smuggling Source?
You'd think education wouldn't be so controversial, but a recent scandal has rocked Hogwarts with the revelation of a certain professor who was caught reselling valuable ingredients (grown in Hogwarts' very own greenhouse!) to underground potions brewers. Said professor has been sacked and then swiftly arrested, with a full investigation pending into what promises to be an extensive underground black market. What an embarrassing turn of events for the school and its staff! How many of them were complicit, do you think, readers? Parents across the nation are said to be absolutely outraged.

Before Skee anyone asks: No. Fucking. Comment.

Though I want it on the record the Scrimgeour pays for his robes out of his pocket and not our funding and if that line gets our budget cut again you scum-sucking road whore I swear I will

[Marly]

Should've saved the drinking for tonight, I guess.

This is a very sad day for the DMLE. It's been quite a while since anyone's died on the job, losing two in one night is nothing short of a tragedy. Flitwick, Farthing, and the staff recuperating at St Mungo's fought bravely and did their duty.

I have complete faith that our Aurors will catch the escapees and anyone who may have helped them, though. Anyone who thinks they know something useful ought to report it immediately. Otherwise, try not to panic. It's important to remember that everything is different now - Rosier and Lestrange do not have large groups of powerful friends to go to. They cannot afford to attack people indiscriminately. Be sensible and be safe.

[Private]
Merlin. I haven't thought about Rabastan in so long. I never really talked to him in school, but... the idea that I sat in the same class as him when we were kids is so surreal. I hope they get caught soon.

Well then.

It's Two for Tuesday, kids, otherwise known as the best night of the week. Buy one, get one free deals from 8 to 11, and caramel apple pie shots for a dollar. Weekday late night specials on tap always. Forget and/or drink your troubles, and buy a shot for the lady behind the bar while you're at it.

What is there for fun in this country? I've found map of London but it is awfully big. Is there smaller town so that I don't get lost?

Your country is very beautiful.
