Order Only: Buckingham

[alt_sirius]

Right.

How close are we to restoring portkeys? Could we create a number of them to get into Buckingham?

Or perhaps Montague or Clearwater have ideas about how to get in. They're with us now, might as well use the advantage.

Remus and I think if we can take about 20 able wands with us, and wait until the full moon, we could mount an assault directly on their headquarters and take the fight to them.

This festival thingy in New London this weekend - they'll all be distracted by that, correct? So we get in, get to Bellatrix, and end this whole sorry business.

Knew you'd be in. Good to have you back, mate.

Private Message to Frank, Remus, Alice, Poppy and Molly

Based on what Alice, Remus, Rachel and I discussed last night, I'm not going to tell any of the younger members of the Order that they can't fight - that would be useless and insulting, and deprive us of able wands, in the bargain. But what I will insist upon is that they are not in the vanguard. They can come in after we've borne the brunt of the attack, as reinforcements. They'll still be able to play a critical hand in the battle but with any luck, it will be at far lower risk to their lives.

I just ... I don't think I can live with myself if any more of them throw their futures on this altar. And we don't need them to do it, either.

Rachel's right that not being on the front lines doesn't necessarily protect them. Poor Honoria Sandoval died last night and she's barely lifted her wand against anyone. Still I think it's high time we did what we're meant to do and put ourselves between our young people and danger, as much as possible.

Agreed?
