Reckon we all got a bit more than we bargained for on Bonfire Night.

-Private to the Order-
Is everyone all right? Did we lose anyone? What's going on now? What's the plan? Is there any?

Macnair got the better of me at the Ministry, but I'll survive, and I'm with Bones at Hogwarts for the time being.

-Private to Aurors-
We lost Robards and Proudfoot? Who else?

-Private to Horace Slughorn-
What would it take to get your permission to use your classroom after hours to make some potions?

	What do you mean, lost? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	-Dawlish- smokyiris 2011-11-06 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	Dead, mate. The Ministry's in a bit of a turmoil right now, in case you couldn't tell. Reckon it's time to choose sides, and unfortunately the true Ministry isn't one of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks thelowestplace 2011-11-06 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	What? No. I was there just last night - there's been some change-ups, but choosing sides? It's a new administration. There's nothing to choose. ~~I don't~~ Are you sure? How did they die? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	-Dawlish- smokyiris 2011-11-06 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	I was there too, after dark, when the fighting broke out. It isn't a new administration. It's a takeover from the Death Eaters. I don't know. I don't know details, just a few of the names. Watch your back, all right? And do what's right if you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks thelowestplace 2011-11-06 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	~~There wasn't any fighting~~ ~~I'm pretty sure~~ Pius Thicknesse isn't a Death Eater. I know him, I've worked with him. That's absurd. No one in the Ministry would ever stand for that. You can't just throw that name at people, not when they've spent their careers fighting against them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	-Dawlish- smokyiris 2011-11-07 12:03 am UTC (link)
	I'm not saying he's a Death Eater. Merlin only knows what's going on, exactly, but you know as well as I do that some Ministry members harbour more than just sympathies for that lot. Do whatever you feel you have to do, Dawlish, but don't discount this just because you didn't witness it firsthand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks thelowestplace 2011-11-07 12:09 am UTC (link)
	I was there I don't know that, and neither do you. Members of this Department - Heads of this Department have died, have given up their own children to fight the Death Eaters. To suggest that there could be sympathizers sharing an office with the likes of Alastor Moody is just crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just watch it play out with an open mind. That's all I'm asking. For your own sake, not mine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was worried I might. No. I'm not. Herman is. Do we need to start hiding him? If so, I guess we'll have to find somewhere not with us. Mostly because everyone would look there first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know if they'd go after someone so public, or if we're even getting to that point. I've just heard they're turning Muggleborns and other 'undesirables' away from St Mungo's, and Merlin only knows what else.

Just be careful, yeah? Keep your ear to the ground, and don't do anything rash. If it comes to it, Herman's welcome to crash at my flat. It's warded to the nines, and it's listed under another name.

	Tonks \| Heath barbaryfloats 2011-11-06 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Right. Well, it's lucky we've got Penny at our beck and call, then. Now if he hurts himself, he'll be alright. I'll be careful. Keep me updated if you can. If you need anything let us know...and I'll be sure to direct Herman to you if anything comes up and he needs to. You sure are a clever girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks \| Heath smokyiris 2011-11-06 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Brilliant. She's a good one. I will. And same to you - if you need anything at all, let me know. I wouldn't call it 'clever' so much as the survival instincts I got at birth from being related to the likes of Bellatrix Lestrange. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You just might want to reconsider warding something to the Auror department, is all I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	-Dearborn- smokyiris 2011-11-06 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty sure I got myself canned last night, if I wasn't before the whole thing happened. The Death Eaters know who I'm affiliated with. Doesn't matter. Besides, they have a bloody right to know who they're going to be working for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks caradocdearborn 2011-11-06 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	For all we know, the Auror Office was already crawling with Death Eaters. Which is why you should probably watch your wards. From what I can tell, this wasn't something that just started last night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	English would be loads better than veiled threats and warnings, Dearborn. And I repeat: the good ones deserve to know what's going on. Doubt it was, but like I said, I haven't got a job or a reputation to protect anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tonks caradocdearborn 2011-11-06 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	~~I was speaking English, you~~ You still have a life that you might want to protect, and the 'good Aurors' I'm sure, probably have means. Address people by name or address the Order, but it's a bit of a crazy to paint a target on your head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	-Dearborn- smokyiris 2011-11-06 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	There. All crossed out. Anyone who dies because they weren't warned before showing up to work tomorrow morning is on your conscience. I've already got a target on me. Every single one of us does. It's trying to help people in spite of that that's important. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank god. Dad's all right too, and they're behind wards? Bellatrix will come after them if she gets a chance, you know she will. Dammit. How bad is it?
