ORDER ONLY

Taking a mo to catch our breath.

Working our way through our chunk of the list. Haven't had any run-ins yet, knock wood. We've run into a few sites that've been cleared, but we've also come across two more that've been Fideliused already, so that's something.

Glad we've got Colin along - secret keeper extraordinaire, purveyor of salt, obtainer of random sandwiches. (Seriously, I've no idea where he managed to get some, but they were fabulous.)

Everyone all right? Staying safe?

Came to one site, still smoking with Fiendfyre, and found an Enforcer there. No battle, though. There'd been two others on his team, but he waved them on, telling them he'd finish up, and then apparently as soon as they left he started sicking up. You know what the sites look like when they're finished with them. Apparently, he just couldn't bear it anymore. Aileus Helpmann, his name is.

He said he's done; he wants out, and from the look on his face, I had no trouble believing it. He's gone to Fidelius his home and warn the rest of his family. Rachel, he'll contact you tomorrow. To prove he was sincere, he gave us the list of places his team was supposed to hit and said if we jumped several spots ahead, we could keep ahead of them, if we acted quickly.

Must go, on to the next on the list.

Right. Make sure you get me all the names of the turncoats. Not today, mind you, but once we're done and everyone's had some sleep.

We're this close to finishing up, we just need two more minutes. A pair of Enforcers showed up and started taking pot-shots, they nearly clipped Fred. We had to move out so fast he didn't even have time to get his shoes. We're trying to draw them away -- and if any more show up, we'll just have to up and leave.

Anyone who can make it out to Epworth, lend a hand, help pull them away so we can finish would be appreciated. Come in from the north.

Bringing our team your way.

Just finished in Dundee. Not sure we've got enough salt for the next on our list.

We've had a few close calls and had to skip on once because we were just too outnumbered. But we're all fine.

Wouldn't mind something to eat, though. Think that's got to be the next thing we do.

[alt_lupin]

I'll meet you with food, at least.

[alt_ron]

Cheers.

[alt_evelyn]

I'm going on a salt run to Moddey, I can bring some by you.

[alt_ron]

That's perfect. Remus brought us food, so we should be able to get back at it soon.

[alt_susan]

Did anyone happen to pack some of those potions the Aurors use? I'm that knackered.

Food helps, though.

[alt_rachel]

I've got some and I gave some to Sally-Anne. One of us can meet you.

[alt_evelyn]

It really is quite remarkable. Everyone with a wand who knows the basic spell to pull salt from the water is out there at the shore -- and they've been heaping the salt up on these enormous tarpaulins. And pretty much everyone else is taking turns scooping it all into canvas bags -- and I mean everyone short of the really little babies.

Anyways, I'm well loaded up. I'll be by shortly.

We're nearly at the end of our part of the list. Only a handful of sites left on it.

Met with another band of Enforcers who've had enough, too.

Does anyone else still have more than five or so places to go?

[alt_bill]

Our list was lengthened, since we added the ones Helpmann gave us, but they must have included part of someone else's list. The last three we've checked were Fideliused already. Just one to go.

Sirius, you must be just about dead knackered with all this apparating. Do you need Charlie and me to take the rest of yours?

[alt_sirius]

I've been going to every other location to save on Apparating.

But on the other hand, I've been at this since yesterday afternoon.

We'll keep going til we've found them all.

[alt_bill]

I know. I don't want to give up either.

We've saved a lot of lives today. Suspended lives. But real ones.

And yet we've lost so many others.
