[Sir
[Narcis

[Be

[DMLE, minus Nymphadora]

There is a Dark Mark over my home. Requesting an Auror presence please.

If we could avoid involving my daughter in this until after I have the chance to speak with her myself, it would be appreciated, although I understand if that isn't possible.

[Potter]

We need to have a conversation.

This entire country is fucked.


[Gideon] (added later)

Hello Gideon. I can't get to an owl at the moment and I'm not sure if your sister has one of these. Would you mind asking Molly (or would you mind, since it's your place now too, I suppose) if I stopped over for the night? My daughter might be by later, too.

WHO: The Order of the Phoenix (minus Dumbledore & Fabian Prewett, who wore sweat pants twice in one week so they can't sit with us).
WHAT: A meeting of the minds, & a place to get it all out there.
WHERE: James' ramshackle old manor house. Have fun with that, chickadees.
WHEN: Last night/today

IC/OOC LOG: Therefore feel free to respond with what your character said or did either in prose or description.

( Horcruxes, Death Eaters and Dumbledore. Oh my. )

I'll never understand nostalgia. The past was not that great. People are so intent on only remembering the shiny parts and trying to dig up the past that they're self-fulfilling the "doomed to repeat history if we don't learn from it" saying. We've learned nothing; there were no good ol' days. Enjoy living in the now for once, and maybe it won't seem so bleak. There are a lot of people who your "good ol' days" killed who don't have that opportunity.

FLORENCE

I have a theory and I need someone to hear me out.

what: HITWIZARDS GO FREE.
where: the three broomsticks, hogsmeade
who: hitwizards! rosmerta! anyone who wants a drink!
when: thursday evening
notes: group thread!

( For the discerning Hitwizard who wants to get shitfaced in protest of the Ministry's disregard for them. )

A polite notice to my friends in Beast Division: I get that you want to put me down, but you should at least have the courtesy not to drink my milk before it reaches my land. There's doing a job and then there's taking the piss.

(And I'd say 'there goes the career', but that bird's flown.)

My mind will be very clear when I vibe that editor chap. I'm taking today's 1430 slot.

[ Bungs ]

I guess I could always try out for a Watchwizard post.

GIDEON PREWETT:

Did you see who's back?

[Hitwizards]
Bets on how much work these new security measures are going to make for us?
[/Hitwizards]

People who act like it's my fault they were dumb enough to break the law. Check yourselves.

What we all heard on the 1st - and a couple other conversations - got me thinking. I'm sure there's someone many of us would want to bring back if we could. I told someone that I had no one I'd bring back, and that's still true.

We're the ones left behind, and it seems to me like it'd be easy for us to say we'd bring them back when the world's kept spinning, but living with that burden isn't that easy. Maybe it wouldn't be what they'd want. Maybe we've all changed too much. Maybe it wouldn't be fair.



Of course, life's a bitch and she's never fair, so what do I know.

You haven't killed Fabian Prewett yet? Ugh.

[PETER PETTIGREW]

It is time we meet.

[RABASTAN & EVAN]

The jaunt for ice cream with McKinnon notwithstanding, said 'increased security' in Diagon Alley will virtually insure a re-capture for us. Therefore, we are going to need Polyjuice potion.

The Dark Lord requires an artifact from the Lestrange vault, and we must retrieve it.

PRIVATE

Thank you for tuning in for tonight's round table panel on the May Day broadcast; your owls and contributions

Thank you for joining us in our discussion of James Potter's May Day broadcast this evening

We hope you enjoyed the fucking farce that was tonight's roundtable

This

As always, thank you for joining the National News Network's panel debate this evening.

Undersecretary Wight has assured us that the planned security measures broadly outlined during discussion will be distributed as a white paper from Tuesday (available free of charge at all news outlets and book shops, and upon application to the Ministry), and public comment is invited before legislative debate begins in the Wizengamot on Wednesday the 21st of May.

I'll see you again tomorrow evening, usual place and usual time, but for now -- goodnight, wizarding Britain.

That was a voice I thought would never be heard again. Just as annoying as ever, too. I had flashbacks to my sixth year at Hogwarts.

[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.

Lovely weather we're having.

[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.

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 )

Such fuss.

Rita Skeeter still uses her bio to promote her 'biographical' drivel: Some things don't change.

[Warded: Narcissa]

Draco will be home for Easter I presume - Would you like for him to have tutelage during this time?

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.
