Order Only: Getting Ready

[alt_sirius]

Frank, I was out Wednesday celebrating my birthday (a couple of times, actually) and had a bit of luck. André has a small sloop - nothing that will attract notice, I think, but definitely able to get us up to the channel. I've also been laying in wands and more fluxweed. I've not as much of the plants as last time, but I've managed to store up a dozen wands.

I'm happy to report that I didn't see anyone of note at the Quidditch match this week. I'm still keeping an eye over my shoulder, though, and I even Apparated out of the stadium, though it meant a little recovery time. So it's still a mystery, but the wizard hasn't shown his wand yet. I'll be sure to take extra precautions before we head out on Monday.

Poor Harry. I've got his Christmas present, Frank, if you don't mind getting it to Minerva? I've got to admit it'll be much easier having him at Hogwarts than Buckingham, but I admit it's hard to see the kid out of sorts.

The smaller the crew and craft, the better, Frank. I'd like to do this with as little magic as possible, actually - I think perhaps our use of magic is what tipped them off last time.

André and I are heading out tomorrow night, hoping to cover most of the distance under cover of darkness. I'll see Allie at the rendez-vous point just after half-past two. If you're lucky, she'll decide not to run off with me.

Two wands for Davidson sounds good, but I want to make sure that Hermione can have her pick. There's got to be some way to protect her from being discovered, but it's high past time she had her own wand. I think we ought to save one out for Terry Boot, as well, once Poppy and Pomona are able to revive him. He'll need to be able to protect himself as soon as Carrow has him back, I fear.

Oh, how I hope this works! Arthur, Charlie, Bill and I will all be waiting anxiously for word that everything has gone off without a hitch.

So many wands? Wonderful! Perhaps Hermione and Terry could keep their wands for safekeeping in their secret classroom? I believe Hermione mentioned that there are wards up protecting that space for them. Or I suppose Terry can keep his in Minerva's office. (It would be utterly disastrous for Terry to let Carrow catch him using it, of course, but I'm sure he's very well of that.)
