Order Only: Private message to Alice, Remus, Sirius, and Poppy

[alt_rachel]

Hermione and Charlie are both still missing. Ron's combed Fradswell and checked the regional hospitals. It's possible -- likely -- that they're at St Mungo's. Ron's asked Molly to check the clock and see what it says about Charlie; that'll give us more information, though it was the most gravely wounded who were evacuated to St M's, I think, so 'mortal peril' could mean 'still wounded' and not 'in the hands of Death Eaters.'

How much do we trust that neutrality agreement, Poppy?

Also, I'm fairly certain I killed Antonin Dolohov last night.

There were a lot of people throwing curses. It may have been someone else's. But I think it was mine.

Bless.

Thank you. For all of us. For Albion. And for the younger ones who came under his sway and have been at risk because of it. They may not bring themselves to thank you, but I most certainly do.

I wish I could be certain. And I wish we'd been able to test the proposition without its being sworn members of the Order at stake.

Much depends on who took them there. If they were already prisoners, the treaty won't be of much help. Any. If they were transported by our affiliates or by neutral parties, then that's the circumstance the treaty is meant to address.


I've sent owls to three people I trust, who might be in a position to know. Or to check for us.

If necessary, I'll go myself. With due precautions. At least I know my way around the wards.

Hermione's journal got left behind last night, just so you know. Ron found it.

We haven't found Charlie's.

I've heard from Healer Behm. Not quite what we hoped, but some good news.

He's able to tell me that a group of twenty-seven evacuated from Fradswell triage last night in rather dire circumstances. They chose St Mungo's out of desperation, essentially. Two of the Fradswell Healers are still openly on staff at the hospital, and the Fradswell staff had on hand a set of St M's casualty Portkeys. With so many to evacuate and too few staff to side-along them all, they made the decision.

Lost two in transit. Deceased, I mean. Not sure if it was due to the... issues we're seeing with Portkeys.

Charlie is accounted for, definitely. At that initial point. Behm says he was recognised, however. But Behm isn't able to say for certain where he is at this moment. Which is worrying, admittedly. I think he'd be able to say if DEMLE had come and taken custody of him. I'll send back to him and hope for clarification. And perhaps he'll know more soon.

About Hermione, he's even less certain, but from his description of the patients they received from the camp, I'd say she could well be among them. He mentions one female with 'brown hair and slender build' who is being treated for head injuries. Another 'young adult female, dark hair, shoulder length' suffered crushing injuries from the fall of a wall. And a third, 'young woman, dark brown hair, medium height' is said to have suffered curse damage of a serious nature.

I will let you know if I learn more, Rachel.

What do you know about Behm? What do you think of him?

[alt_poppy]

I trust him.

I tried recruiting him, but his family situation is complicated and he wasn't willing to put them at risk. In the end, he asked me to Obliviate him so he would not remember that particular conversation and meeting with me. But I would say without hesitation that he is one of ours amongst those remaining at the hospital.
