Hogwarts is Free

[alt_sirius]

Tonight, at great - great personal cost - the Order of the Phoenix took back Hogwarts.

It was not a complete victory. There are still Death Eaters at large in the country.

I call upon all citizens who believe in true 'Freedom from Tyranny' to immediately and with prejudice aid in the capture of any former Councilwizard who does not turn him- or herself in peaceably and submit to a fair trial.

Parents, Guardians: We have - we have a great deal of work to do to sort out which students hid, who got away, and who made the ... the ultimate sacrifice. Know that no one was pressed into battle for our part, but some of your children did decide to stay and fight.

Please, everyone: Hogwarts is now free, but it is not fully secure. Allow us to help restore your children to you, both the living and the - dead.

Private Message to Sirius

[alt_alice]

Thank you.

Re: Private Message to Sirius

[alt_sirius]

I just can't quite believe

Well, you and Frank know the feeling. Harry's gone and I'm ... still here.

Seems wrong.

And Severus.

Let's get this over with so Padfoot can put in an appearance for a while.

Re: Private Message to Sirius

[alt_alice]

yes.

It is wrong.

All we can do is try our best to be worthy of what they've done, and be grateful for having what little time was

oh, bugger.

Re: Private Message to Sirius

[alt_alice]

Right. Back to work.

Re: Private Message to Sirius

[alt_sirius]

Yes.

Private message to Mrs Longbottom

[alt_sally_anne]

Ron wrote back.

He's alive. And he destroyed the last horcrux.

It sounds like Harry's dead, though.

Re: Private message to Mrs Longbottom

[alt_alice]

Was the rite successful?

Re: Private message to Mrs Longbottom

[alt_alice]

Was his death

Oh, please, Merlin please, was his death what he'd planned?

Re: Private message to Mrs Longbottom

[alt_sally_anne]

I think so, yes.

And --

Well, there was more to Ron's story but I don't want to try to transcribe it all right now. I'll report to you tomorrow. Right now I'm going to go apparate to where Ron is.

We're going to be finding the dead for a damn long time, I think. And we still have a bloody huge castle to search through and find anyone who didn't retreat before we can call things secure.

We should put up a list. In the Great Hall, for people we know are all right and people we ... don't.

Merlin, this is going to be a fuck of a lot of work.

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_nymphadora]

It is, isn't it.

Meet you in the Hall? We'll come up with a plan and assign people things to do.

Re: ORDER ONLY

[alt_charlie]

oh thank all the things that listen to battlefield prayers that you're alive

Yeah. Step one is going to be feeding everyone who's not hurt and treating everyone who is. And then finding a place for people to sleep. And then

Well. I'll talk to Poppy about what we can use for a place to bring the dead for now, until someone can come and claim them. I don't think I'm going to be sleeping for a while; I can do that for a bit.
