Order Only: Any News?

Any further word, any of you? How has the Ministry been today, Bill? Charlie, have the dragons settled down?

If something large is occupying their attention, maybe we could turn that our to advantage somehow. Could we stage another large breakout like Derby? Maybe get Davidson and Turner into position somewhere in the south?

Or ... has anyone checked the wards? Frank, fancy a sail? I'm sure we'd have known if suddenly the country became accessible to the outside but if the anti-muggle charms weren't affected then perhaps no one's noticed.

But there must be something we can do.

Well, that's annoying.

I'd really like to know.

Well, whatever's going on, I think we can safely assume that the Death Eaters want to keep it hushed up. The Prophet's been known to print things Lucius Malfoy didn't want to see -- Sirius Black's picture, for instance, after the QWC -- but it seems to have generally been accidental.

And the ones who did it met with accidents shortly after, too, I'd bet. Which explains why it doesn't happen more often.

Oh, I don't know if they bothered to pretend it was accidents.

But yes.
