Heath didn't even usually read the Prophet. It was rubbish these days, and good for lining bird cages and the like, but when he'd seen new Protective Notice across the cover he'd picked it up, and been in his new rooms at Gideon's house the rest of the afternoon, just a little too angry - and really, too scared - to come out and deal with talking to anyone, even his best mates.

Then Orsino had asked what they were going to do, and his answer was the result of hours thinking about it too much and too angrily to do much else. It was shit, complete shit, but if he didn't go? He was sure someone would notice, and soon. It wasn't like they weren't enough in the eye of the wizarding world, and everyone and their sister's fucking dog knew he was muggleborn.

And what else could he do but decide to fuck all with the lot of it. He needed liquor. It was that need that got him, finally, out of his rooms and into the front room and then the kitchen looking. Until it dawned on him that he'd moved in with a fucking Quaker, because Gideon didn't drink.

Gideon had seen the paper as well, and it'd given him a raging headache. He was a half-blood, so he was supposedly safe, but he was pretty sure it wouldn't be long before that was under question. Plus he had no idea if his father was Muggleborn or pureblood or what, he'd never bothered to look into it. All it took was one more step and they'd be after the next lot.

What the hell were they supposed to DO about it, then? They were a rock band, and half of them had barely squeaked by on their NEWTS, how the hell were they supposed to stand up for something like this? Were they? It rankled, the idea of sitting back and just letting it happen. By the time Heath finally surfaced, Gideon was wishing he WAS drunk.

As Heath was finding out, however, the only booze in the place was a half empty bottle of cooking sherry Merton had used for something and then promptly forgotten.

	"Fuck," Heath growled from the kitchen, seriously considering the bottle of sherry before he looked at the journal again and answered Orsino. When he came back out and saw Gid there, he crossed his arms over his chest petulantly and shrugged. "Thrust is coming over with booze." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gideon arched a brow, waving his own journal at Heath. "So I see. Try not to trash the house," he said, then looked at Heath again. "You look like hell. Are you done sulking in your room, because I promise you, I am not letting any Ministry fucks in my house." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Right. Because we have a choice in that. The way the Prophet's going? We turn out the Ministry and every reporter in the fucking country would be camped out outside the door and hounding us more than they are now." Heath knew that gossip worked just as much against them as it did for them. Some people would like them standing up against shit, but just as many would think they really were... what was it? Magic thieves.

	"It was a mess beforehand," Gideon pointed out mildly. "It's just MORE of one now, since it's going to affect us directly. First they'll go after the muggleborn, because you lot are stealing magic, which is the biggest load of crock I've ever heard, then the halfbloods, because we're polluting it or some swill like that."

	"Or don't have another bloody choice," Heath finished, taking another drink, and he probably should have eaten more today - but he hadn't been planning on binging, either. Sometimes the outside events he liked to ignore just seemed to call for one. "Interrogation or arrest. Brilliant, blokes, thanks for that. I'm the one who's wand they'll break."

	Orsino was silent from his seat at the end of the sofa, staring at his knees. Gideon had a point, about it being a statement whether they wanted it to be or not. Still. "You're right," he said, looking over at Gideon. "Still. I think there's a point where we need to not care about what sort of statement it's going to make, and care more about our safety."
