Yes, sir.

Order Only

[alt_neville]

Well, then.

Thanks for warning us, Hydra.

Re: Order Only

[alt_evelyn]

Yes.

And I'm glad you'll be there, Hydra. Truly.

Re: Order Only

[alt_alice]

This is for the writing on the walls, I gather.

I'm sorry to hear it.

Please let me know if things escalate. I know you all are quite capable, but if MLE gets thrown in the mix, it could lead down a path we'd want to avoid.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sinistra]

I'm in my rooms. Not the office. If any of you need somewhere quiet after - whatever he's intending.

Wasn't intending to be at supper anyway.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sally_anne]

Pansy and I are in the corridor by the stairs to the Headmaster's office.

About half of them just came out, including Evelyn and Artie. They're looking sort of unsteady but otherwise okay.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sally_anne]

Madam Pomfrey, if you're reading, they're all on their way to you.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sally_anne]

Everyone's out.

And okay. I mean, okay-ish.

Re: Order Only

[alt_alice]

Thank you.

Order Only

[alt_molly]

...
Please check in afterwards. All of you. If...if you can.

Re: Order Only

[alt_ginny]

I will be FINE, Mum. And so will Ron.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Of course. Still. Humour me, please, and just set my mind at rest after you've...you've talked with him.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sally_anne]

Ginny asked me to write and let you know she's okay.

Re: Order Only

[alt_sally_anne]

Ron didn't ask but he's okay, too.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Thank you dear. Tell them both I'm proud of them.

Tell Ginny I'm glad she's all right. And you can tell Ron that, too, if you don't think it'll hurt his pride too much.

Re: Order Only

[alt_ginny]

I'm fine.

Re: Order Only: Private Message to Ginny

[alt_alice]

Ginny, love, I've heard about Honoria. I'm so very sorry. Is she feeling better?

Re: Order Only: Private Message to Ginny

[alt_ginny]

I don't know, Madam P kept her in the hospital wing. There were a few she decided to keep there over night (Neville, too).

Re: Order Only: Private Message to Ginny

[alt_alice]

I'm glad she has such good care. That must have been terrible to see, Ginny.

I know you two are very close.

This is a far from ideal time to talk about things, but know that I haven't forgotten your hopes for her, and am planning fully on seeing what we can do over hols.

[alt_molly]

You miserable monster. I'll meet you wand to wand yet.

Gideon and Fabian. And Arthur, wherever you are...watch over them.

Watch over them all.

ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Kitty and Artie

[alt_evelyn]

We'll get through today. I promise.

All they're looking for is to punish. They aren't going to be digging any deeper than that. And the only Leglimens in there is Hydra, who is on our side.

I love you both.

[alt_luna]

Yes, sir.

Private message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_luna]

Is it a special assignment then? Is there anything we need to bring?

Re: Private message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_antonin]

Just yourself, Miss Lovegood.

[alt_ron]

Yes, sir.

[alt_evelyn]

Of course, sir.

Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_poppy]

Twenty-eight. I am brewing calming draughts, but if I should expect a need for any other items in large quantity, it would be nice to have a collegial warning.

I've two second years and a fourth here, vomiting, in the last hour. Possibly luncheon did not agree with them.

Re: Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_antonin]

I am less fond of the use of corporal punishment as a form of student discipline than some, and I am attempting to make allowances for last week's trauma, but the graffiti that has been appearing does skirt dangerously close to treason, and that is one subject upon which I cannot afford to be lenient. They will not thank me for it, but Our Lord will not look kindly upon more treason from Hogwarts' walls, and I am dearly hoping we can get through at least one year without student casualties.

If you are short on lemons, I do have a supply, should it become necessary, though it ultimately depends on what they have to say for themselves.

Re: Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_poppy]

Lemons will not be necessary, thank you.

ORDER ONLY

[alt_pansy]

Anything happen of note after everyone left, Hydra?

Do you think that's the last of it, for now?

What did Professor Desai and Patil and Finnigan have to say?

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_harry]

I'm at supper now and so's Finnigan.

He looks sweaty and sick and like he's off his food. But not like he got cruciated himself, like he's been

Hydra, did they make the three of you do it?

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_hydra]

Yes.

Except it was Dolohov who cruciated Justin, and Desai for Ron.

Re: ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Hydra

[alt_alice]

Gracious.

I realise you've been mentally preparing for this sort of thing for a while now, Hydra, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Although I can't imagine how difficult it must be to face friends, it will not be the last time, and I do fully appreciate the strength that it took to do what you had to do today.

Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_justin]

Antonin,

Thank you for the potion. I do sincerely hope that your lesson sends the message you intend and we may dispense with further nonsense, what.

I say, do you require any further assistance this evening? Have any of the others asked their parents to write or--howl?

I might be able to write a statement that would appease a few troubled minds, if you think it would be helpful.

-F-F

Re: Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_antonin]

Thank you, my dear. I am most sincerely sorry for the necessity.

With a bit of luck there will not be a need for further parental calming -- discipline is within the Headmaster's purview, and all. I will keep your offer in mind, however. In the meantime, I suggest a hot shower, a cup of tea with lemon -- which I can provide, if the elves are unable to do so -- and an early retirement. From experience I can recommend that you be up and moving in the morning as usual, but if you'd like to sleep in a bit in the morning, I would not be adverse to delaying our usual exercises for twenty or thirty minutes; I could use the extra sleep myself.

Re: Private Message to Headmaster Dolohov

[alt_justin]

Oh, I say, twenty minutes ought to be more than enough. Luckily, the homework I'd intended to complete tonight is mostly reading. I'd already decided to take it with me to bed, what.

The elves are most accommodating, thank you. I'm quite all right. If only one could say the same for Smith. I say, I do believe that might have been the first time he'd ever personally experienced the Cruciatus. Almost hard to believe, what, that any of us could reach eighteen years without having felt it.

At any rate, I've already had a hot soak and recommended he do the same. I hope he'll keep his curtains open so I can keep an eye on him overnight.

Until morning, then.
