Tag to Terry! :)
Who: Terry Boot & Aidan Chambers.
Where: Starts out at the Leaky, then continues at an abandoned warehouse.
When: September 2nd. Late afternoon.
What: Terry and Aidan try and push Project: Revive the DA a bit further. Without being drunk this time.

Even though it had been but a few days, it felt like a lifetime ago that Aidan had last seen his best friend and – over a few shared pints – they had come to their fateful decision. And like a small pebble that was thrown into a calm lake their decision to 'do something' started making ever-growing circles, the consequences of trying to re-form Dumbledore's Army already outweighing the initial decision.

Aidan wasn't quite sure whether he should be scared or excited and settled for an uncomfortable mixture of both as he waited for Terry in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

As they had discussed, they needed a place to work from and they had both been looking for one the past days (and truth be told, his neglect of his job was slowly but surely getting Aidan into trouble with MediWitch McKenzie – something he didn't quite like thinking about). As it was, they needed to find a place. Quickly. Before Aidan failed his exams because he kept turning up at work completely exhausted.

Aidan gave his friend a mock-stern look that crumbled very quickly as he remembered the kind of antics he usually got up to on St.Patrick's Day. And dressing up as a giant shamrock in a drunken stupor wasn't even the worst of it. "This year, mate," Aidan warned Terry sternly. "This year we're going out for St.Patrick's Day."

Having thus threatened his friend sufficiently, Aidan turned his attention back to the buildings - plural! - he thought and smiled. This was even better than anything he could have hoped for! And he even brought the ground plans!

"I'd say first of all we make this place unplottable and then we should start researching how to make a Secret Keeper for this place, so it's really guarded." He looked around, the smile slowly fading as he thought about logistics. "We need an inventory of stuff and perhaps we should think about setting up a few rooms with beds and stuff, so we can occasionally stay the night. Perhaps, in time, we'll need safe houses, too." This thing was growing by the second. They needed help. Desperately.

Terry shook his head. He'd spent St. Patrick's Day with Aidan's family- things often got very interesting, even when there wasn't a holiday going on. "I can't wait. Maybe we can bring the shamrock with us? I'm sure girls would love it."

Glancing back down at the plans, Terry nodded. "Right. I could probably get rid of the files on his land so no one comes looking for it too." He paused and considered what else needed to be covered. "It's a spell, isn't it? And I wouldn't mind being Secret Keeper." He ran a hand through his hair. "I agree with everything you just said, but we can't overwhelm ourselves. Let's stick to making this place hidden and safe and knowing what we have here so far. Then we'll decide where people can stay and set up those facilities along with food storage. We can do some plumbing too so food can be brought here or something. Sound alright?"

This time Aidan had no problem giving his friend a glare. "The shamrock was...something we will never mention again."

Quite conveniently Aidan turned back to the buildings. "For some useful spells we should activate the Hermione-connection again." The Irishman suggested and sighed. He really wished the days had more hours. Already Aidan was exhausted and with his exams coming up in a few weeks time he barely had an idea what to do with himself. He knew the day would come when even coffee wouldn't keep him awake and he feared making a mistake.

"All right, then." Aidan agreed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "We hide this, perform some more research and deal with the plumbing."

"But green is such a good color on you." Terry laughed. "Alright, alright, down to business."

Terry's brow furrowed. "If you wanted Hermione to do the protective spells, why didn't we bring her? Though we are capable wizards who can protect a building." He studied his best friend for a minute and realized how incredibly tired he looked. "But it can wait. We've both got work and the like; I'm glad we came and got a look the area." He folded the papers up and minimized the folder to put in his pocket again. "So how about I make it unplottable for now and then destroy all files of this land and buildings so it's harder to track us down, perform more research and then deal with plumbing and all that? And somewhere in the mix we find time to bring Hermione in to help make this place safe?"

Without waiting for a reply, which he knew would be yes, Terry pulled out his wand, pointed it at the buildings, muttered a few words and then they vanished.
