Order Only

[alt_hydra]

In the loo don't have long. H looks bad, I made it worse. H told me what to say via legilmns.

H is in D's office, D is in R's.

T.N. set all up. Had evidence.

B found wand, bracelet, ring - portkey in bracelet. Bracelet in cabinet in D's office.

I reported to B that H's wand was stolen from buckham. They think D was teaching H magic, but H told me to say that H was learning in secret, D not involved.

Ron's just slithered away.

It was a determined sort of slither, not a scared one. I think he's got a plan. We tried to get him to tell us what it was, but he's gone into the walls again.

[alt_molly]

Oh, no.

[alt_molly]

And the clock just reports that he's 'at school.'

This clock is USELESS!!!

[alt_terry]

no

[alt_terry]

no

no

no

[alt_lupin]

Look, I hate to say this but: What reason have we to think Draco won't take this deal he's about to be offered and sell us all out?

Perhaps we should all be ready to fall back to Moddey Dhoo.

[alt_severus]

Mr Malfoy will not betray the Order.

[alt_lupin]

Much as I respect your opinion, Severus, how can you be so sure?

At the very least, you or someone ought to ensure he can't speak out.

[alt_poppy]

It was, after all, scarcely a month ago that he was threatening to leave the Order.

[alt_severus]

I have spent the past six months working with Mr Malfoy on Occlumency; there is little of his mind unfamiliar to me.

He will not betray the Order, and you ought be ashamed for thinking it.

Private Message to Severus

[alt_alice]

At this point, it seems as though they're focusing on Hermione's learning magic, and Hermione's relationship to Draco rather than a larger plot.

If that is the scope of their focus

Draco may have to make some difficult choices. But I have every faith.

Re: Private Message to Severus

[alt_alice]

Bloody hell.

That changes things.

He's not leaving without her, is he?

[alt_macnair]

Have to agree. His family will protect him and he knows it.

[alt_poppy]

Severus tells me he has every confidence in him.

Which is to say that I had the same question, and I cannot say that I'm vastly reassured.

[alt_molly]

It's strange for me to say it, but...I believe he won't, actually.

I don't know exactly why, but I just think he won't. His pride won't let him. I know all about teenage boy pride.

He'll want to die, first. Unfortunately, that may not be an option.

[alt_alice]

We should be prepared for a security breach regardless.

It is common sense to do so.

But Draco Malfoy will not betray us.

[alt_alice]

I believe that Hermione is attempting to take the fall here.

They are both fully aware of what is on their shoulders.

Merlin help them both.

Harry, is there any movement at all within the castle?

[alt_harry]

No. It's not doing a damn thing.

[alt_severus]

I have seen Hermione, when I went to attempt to pull Dolohov out to deal with the distraction. (Unsuccessfully.) She is in extreme duress but is still alive.

I was unable to reduce the number of people in the office to make a full-on assault practical, but if there is no further movement and we are unable to recover Hermione's portkey to enable her escape, I will not allow her to continue being tortured.

[alt_alice]

Yes.

I see.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, since Hydra's busy I suppose I'll say it.

He won't betray Hermione or the Order. Because he's in love with Hermione.

[alt_justin]

Sally-Anne,

Yes, he is. It's true. Unfortunately she doesn't feel the same way about him.

That can turn someone quite bitter, what, but in his case I don't think it has done.

[alt_jeremy]

He WHAT?


...

[alt_jeremy]

Sorry, just woke up and looked in here and found the world had gone mad.

What can I do to help?

AND HE WHAT??

[alt_alice]

Get to Hogwarts. Meet up with Kingsley.

[alt_jeremy]

On my way.

[alt_cedric]

Do you want me? I've just now finished with the Cannons.

[alt_alice]

Yes. Make sure you're disguised. Remember, the goal is to distract, not to fully engage.

[alt_cedric]

Recovering from apparation. making my way toward caslte. disguised.
