I'm fine. Don't flap at me.
Things got a bit much. I needed a bit of time inside my head to sort out the mess in there. It's better now. |

We're splintering.
Black and the rest of that lot have had some sort of falling out; I can't think of another reason he'd have gone back to his flat. Meadowes and Marlene... well, I can't say I blame Marlene, honestly. Not if Meadowes used the Cruciatus Curse on her, however accidentally.
Which brings me to another problem. Meadowes. She's worse than Mary ever was. The worst that could be said about Mary was that she was naive and overreactionary. She never deliberately goaded suspected Death Eaters, or their family. She never used Unforgivables. And yes, Agnes used Crucio on the werewolf woman, but she at least seemed sorry, and she doesn't go out of her way to antagonise our enemies. She's showing a good deal more sense than some of the others.
I don't know what to do with them anymore. I'm being as much of the leader as they seem to want me to be as I can, I'm trying to give Frank and Alice the support they need. Staying with Meg and Kirley is... helping. Helping me as much as it helps them, I think. Sort of a support network, maybe, and that's something we all need right now. With so much against us, we need to know we're not alone. I suppose that's partly why I'm doing what I'm doing with Gumboil. He's a good man, and he doesn't deserve the shit that's been dumped on him, and if my being there one night a month helps him remember that there're people who still see him as a man, not a monster, then it's worth it. Even if he doesn't join us.
Not a day goes by when I don't think about Dotty and Jerome.

You still going to be there when Gumboil wakes up tomorrow morning?

I'm at Abe's; he was in pretty bad shape, but his friends brought in someone with a bit of healing and between the two of us we've got him patched up decently. I'm going to stick around for the night just to be sure. |

I never appreciated how bloody frustrating it was to sit on the sidelines until now. Is that what the families of Aurors go through every time we go out on a job? Waiting, with no way to do anything except pointless busywork, waiting to hear that someone's not coming back? We got lucky this time; we didn't lose anyone at the fight itself. The next twenty-four hours are crucial; they'll determine whether we lose anyone in the aftermath.
I want to ask what the hell they were thinking, attacking the school, but I know. It's collateral damage, as far as they're concerned; they're not going to baulk at making such a strong point as bringing down the school walls just because the students are children. As far as purists are concerned, the only child who deserves to live is a pureblood child. So what if the Muggleborns are only eleven years old? They're still Mudbloods, still supposedly undeserving of the power that was born in them. Bringing down the wall serves a purpose; so what if it terrifies a few hundred kids? It shows the world that Dumbledore isn't infallible, that he's not all-powerful. It shows the world that they can get at us wherever they want to. That there's no protection.
It makes me sick that I can think the way they think, even if I don't believe it. Get inside the head of your enemy so that you can more effectively fight them; it has merit, but it makes me feel as though there's something dirty inside my head, something unclean. Sometimes I wonder if Kennard wasn't the lucky one.
That's enough, Alastor.

It's done. Officers will be by in two hours; there's a passcode. They say "we're here to fix the garden", response is "good, the thyme is overgrown" if everything's okay, "good, we're running out of thyme" if there's a problem. They'll relocate your family somewhere safe.

Mrs Malfoy
I'd like to apologise for my behaviour last night. What I said to you was entirely inappropriate and uncalled for. Regardless of my feelings for certain members of pureblood society, you had done nothing to warrant such cruelty and it was an irrational, misjudged act of spite that led me to treating you so poorly. While I don't understand the majority of your views, that was no excuse for me to lash out at you, and I am truly sorry for any pain I caused you.

Dumbledore's probably going to give you the official welcome, but I figured I'd let you know so you didn't think we'd forgotten or anything like that. You're in, if you still want to be. |

Healers released me this morning; I'm with Meaghan right now. Probably until further notice.

We need to bring Pepper in, now. With the murders we're down at least four functioning members, and we need those numbers. I vouch for him; he's a tricky bastard, but he's on our side, and we can trust him. More to the point, right now we need him.

So.
Two Death Eaters dead. One captured. One escaped.
Not that I remember a lot about the end of the fight. 
Frank and Alice are fine. Guffy's going to be all right, and Proudfoot's relatively undamaged.
Did I think this was never going to happen? Arrogance, Alastor, it's never a good thing and especially not in your line of work. Overconfidence. If she'd gone just a bit deeper they'd be scraping your brain out, not just the remains of an eye, and you'd better damn well not let anyone get so blasted close again.
Loss of depth perception. Slight damage to the nasal passages, resulting in a reduction in sense of smell. Phantom pain. The internal damage should heal fine.
I'm going to have to fi
Damn it.  |

I think we can all agree that something needs to be done about MacDonald. I'm willing to give her one last chance -- if you agree to let me mentor her, instead of Prewett. He's a decent fellow, and that's the problem. She won't listen to anyone who she sees as a friend, and I imagine that's what's gone on with those two. He's her friend, not her mentor.
If I can't knock some sense into her, then we have other options. Given everything that's happened, it might be kinder to Obliviate her and send her to live with someone else, if it comes to it.
[/private]
[Private to the Order]
She's fine, if scared. Still working on it. I'll keep you posted.
