alt_sirius | Order Only: Private Message to Remus

I know you told me to kip before the Order meets in full this afternoon but I can't.

Do you and Alice know how many are coming? We should really get everyone, if at all possible. There's a lot to discuss.

I'm so glad I went up there. Was there for him. Needed it, poor kid. They brought him to that ritual, made him watch that - made him think the whole time he might be next in the cauldron - and why? Albus said he had a theory but wasn't sure.

There's another thing. Surprised the pants off me - even Albus seemed not to have realised, either. I assumed they'd killed off all the royal family. I think he did, too. But ... that would explain loads about the wards, if they used royal blood to seal the spells.

Merlin. Horcruxes.

I think all we can do for now is focus on what else we can do to shore up our position while they all react to the news that their leader really can't be so easily deposed.
