Order Only

[alt_nymphadora]

Merlin, Bill. Where are you? I hope you see this!

I’ve just overheard something. Director Selwyn’s dead! I’m serious. And Crouch is still alive. I just heard Mr Yaxley talking about it to someone else, someone I don’t know.

Bill: Voldemort’s alive. Gods.

Wherever you are, you’ve got to go right now and find Auror Crouch and tell him what you know! Otherwise, you’re going to end up arrested! You have to get to him first and look like you’ve been looking for him all night!

If I knew where you were-

Wait. I’m sending a patronus, too.

But.

Merlin, I hope you’re alone when it gets there.

I’m sorry! Just. Hurry and find Crouch!

I just got the patronus--WHAT?!

[alt_bill]

Shite

[alt_frank]

bugger.

he ought to write crouch right away.

get it on record that he's trying to find him.

keep your head, bill. write him, and then find him and tell him everything selwyn told you.

[alt_bill]

Shite!!

What the FUCK can I tell him?

[alt_nymphadora]

Hurry.

[alt_lupin]

Yeah. Use the journal.

Hell, if you can tell him everything Selwyn told you in the journal and avoid being in the same room with him, so much the better.

[alt_alice]

Tell him about Glendower. Tell him what Selwyn offered you in terms of a job.

[alt_sirius]

No, I'm Sirius.

But forget trying to find him. Just send him a Private Message, Bill. Do it right away, and volunteer that Selwyn approached you only after Voldemort's 'death' (or whatever). Prove loyal and do it quickly. Distance yourself from the losing side, that's for sure.


Circe. How did he survive? Or do you reckon he faked his death to draw out treason in his own ranks?

[alt_alice]

That was my thought too. That it was some sort of test.

Merlin. I have no idea what he put Harry through, but we can't let him go off like that again.

[alt_molly]

Oh, Merlin.

Bill's hand on the clock is now at Mortal Peril.

[alt_lupin]

Did it move there AFTER he wrote the note to Crouch?

Get out. Fast. Come to 12GP, both of you.

[alt_bill]

No idea when it moved there. But it hasn't budged yet.

Right. We're flooing now.

[alt_bill]

And thank you, Tonks. Thank you.

I owe you, seriously, big time.

[alt_kingsley]

Merlin. Where did you overhear this--at the Ministry? Who did you hear speaking?

[alt_lupin]

She said she heard Yaxley. And someone she didn't know.

[alt_lupin]

Normally I'd let her answer for herself but she's on shift right now. (She traded shifts with someone.) And given that the Ministry is crawling with anxious Death Eaters I imagine she's trying to look busy.

[alt_bill]

Good lord.

Now Selwyn is posting.

Could we possibly keep straight, just for one minute, who's supposed to be actually dead around here?!

[alt_kingsley]

Someone else could very well be using it. MLE springs to mind.

Especially given the theory that this week's events may have been a plan to smoke out traitors.

[alt_charlie]

I don't care who else is dead as long as it's not YOU.
