Order Only: Private Message to Alice and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Well. A lot happened in the last few minutes.

Stephen McGivern's dead. I'm so sorry. I didn't see the whole thing happen - I can't go into details just now; I'll give you a full report in a while.

As near as we can figure, the spell to protect this area of the camp has affected its magical field and nothing magical works inside it. Including the journals.

I think I managed to gravely injure Corax Mulciber but then his brother drew a bead on me when we fled further into the woods. He put up quite a fight. Nearly got me before I managed to hit him with a wasting curse. Not sure I got him square on, though. But he dropped anyway.

Turner's with me; the others scattered and will make their way back to the Fidelius entry point. Dora was all right the last time I saw her.

Alice, I'm going in to find Frank and figure out what our next move is. And maybe get something for my arm.

We'll write back in an hour or two once we've regrouped.

He's with me.

He's alive.

I'll tell Laura about Stephen.

We need to fall back - should we pull out of Saltash altogether, then?

I've just found Kingsley and Dorcas, too. Kingsley's hurt but we're all okay. We can make it to the safehouse.

Get the hell out of there, Padfoot.
