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.

ORDER ONLY

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.

It is, isn't it.

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

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.
