To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:

You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it - embrace it.

Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.

Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.



Bugger. Annoying, that.

Draco, Harry and Hermione have been reading their Galleons. The others are locked in their common rooms and there seems to be more Enforcers converging on the school.

MEETING AT GRIMMAULD, as soon as possible.

Hey, kiddo.

Just checking on you. I know it was a lot to absorb.

Hope you're coping all right.

I think he'd have been pleased to know that we know, actually. Probably not as pleased to know you've fallen in with dangerous criminals and blood-traitors, but pleased that someone will remember why he died and that he chose to use his death as some kind of strike against Voldemort.

He didn't succeed in what he was attempting. But you finished it for him. I know it was hard for you but you managed, which is all anyone could have asked and more.

And I know he would have liked how fitting and poetic it was that it all turned out as it did. The sodding girl's blouse.

Anyway. If you want to talk more, don't stand on ceremony.

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.

Right, so, I'm catching my breath a bit on my way up to Hogwarts for the third Task.

I know, I know.

But here's the thing: Harry sent me an owl a few days ago. Something's brewing with Voldemort and I don't know what. Harry's been told that once the Task is over, Voldemort has a 'special ceremony' that he's going to have Harry involved in. At Buckingham.

Of course, I offered to stay in New London so I'd be nearby there instead of Hogwarts, but his return owl came just before I needed to leave yesterday, saying that he's sure he'll be brought back to Hogwarts afterward and anyway, Buckingham's too dangerous for me to be hanging about there.

Which. Well.

The point is: He's terrified that Voldemort's going to make him take the Mark. I can't imagine that's what it is but I've no idea what else it could be. Harry said something about a 'chance to prove his worth' which sounds dead ominous. I didn't want to worry him worse, though.

Anyway. Minerva, if you know something, now would be a good time to tell me.

And Poppy. Just. Be ready. More than usual, I mean.

Hermione,

I think you'd better tell the rest of the Order what you told me yesterday. About Voldemort.

In case you can't get to it: She told me he's changing. Physically. I'd like her to elabourate more but I think she's right in guessing he's using progressively Dark spells to change himself. Trouble is I can't tell why. Macnair, you were close to him for a while. What's his purpose? Any idea?

And there's been a shift, she says, in his attitude toward Harry - and that's troubling as well. Well, not because I want the bugger keeping Harry all that close, but because if before he was concerned for Harry's well-being and that's shifting ... then it might signal he's less invested in keeping Harry safe.

Moreover Frank, I've been thinking: Now that you're back I think we ought to try again for Terry. I think we could convince him to come with us given enough time. I definitely want to make sure he's got enough to eat and that he's being looked after. Fancy a short trip next week?
