Order Only - What should we do?

[alt_hydra]

I've spent the last two days tracking down all the candidates so that I can legilimise them. I will write more about that later, but for now..

Yesterday, I talked to Dean Thomas. It was short, he's not particularly friendly. But I picked up from him that he is determined to succeed in the contest, no matter what it will cost him. I saw two images in succession, first - a camp. It wasn't nice. The second was of the Lord Protector. Both images made him feel disgust.

And then, today I spoke with Padma. She thinks she can occlude but she's not very good. I got a few things from her but right now what matters is that she was thinking about Dean. She's worried he's done something massively stupid in response to a fake challenge she gave him. Her challenge was to give him a challenge, I think. Maybe to hurt his standing.

Is this of any use?

Right.

So if Thomas and the book are both missing

I guess Dolohov knows more about tracking the book than we do. Maybe we can ask the ghosts to see if they saw anything? And we can see if anyone on the Galleon saw him this morning or last night or something.

We should go off on our own to help search the castle, too. Long as we're careful, I mean.

I can track down Peeves. He likes me ever since I gave him dungbombs last term.

And Nev's on good terms with Nearly Headless Nick.

I'm a prefect, so is Draco (also Sue and Ginny). You're not but that doesn't matter. We can be out and about if we need to, even if it will be curfew soon.

Right. Let's split up in teams and start doing a sweep, see if we can't help them cover some ground.

And anyone who wants to help can come along, as long as we're in a group, they shouldn't be too fussed.

I'm on my way.

Hermione, do you want to come along under the cloak? Or are you busy?

Barty Crouch is on his way to help Dolohov with a more complicated tracking ritual. The single person rituals he tried earlier in the day failed. He was startled by this. The case was designed to be tracked by those specific spells, so something is interfering.

Hydra, could you stop by or write to myself or Dolohov with the information about Padma and Dean. If this ritual fails, maybe they can track Dean himself.

Could someone in Gryffindor snatch something of Dean's with his essence on it, appropriate for a tracking spell and bring it down?

If he's been alone with that book all day, he's

Alright, I'll write him. I'll include Barty. If Mother sees I've written to them she'll probably be impressed.

Sorry.. I shouldn't be thinking about that, at a time like this.

Can do, yeah.

Maybe you could write me and Ron a PM, so we have a reason for bringing you something.
