Frank, Alice. Didn't realise how sore I'd be today. Oi! Made cleaning bogs less merry than usual. But, seriously, thank you. I'm coming back as soon as I can manage it. May need to wait for the weekend, though. We've been busy in the garden, and Beth's been bringing people through our secret room as fast as we can turn the space around. That requires a bit of play-acting on the public side to cover up. Besides, Bea's a bit of a handful at the moment, and is in a phase where she gets very cross about being left.

Mind you, I came home from work this morning to find she's got a new favourite game: pulling the doggy's tail until he yowls.

Charlie. Sorry I missed seeing you. Shame to have come so close and not have overlapped. Such is the life of a menial worker, though. Those floors must be mopped or the business of the Protectorate couldn't be done!

It's a good thing Sirius isn't a real dog because a real dog might turn round and bite her, but then maybe if the dog bit her she wouldn't pull his tail, either.

I don't think those Irish Muggles thought they'd get bit, either. They actually thought they could trick someone like Auror Lestrange.

Has anyone else been listening to the wireless?

We turned it on here for a bit after people came in talking about what had happened. But it's just the same report over and over, so we've shut it off again. We've got a few copies of the evening Prophet, too, but it says even less, really. Prints the surrender document, but it only says what you'd expect.

I think you're right. That IMA lot thought they could blow up a whole pack of death eaters. Council wizards. Whatever. Shame they weren't clever enough to get it done.

Has anyone heard anything beyond what the wireless and the Prophet have said? How did their planning fall apart?
