alt_rachelHeard from my contact.
It sounds like Bellatrix is contemplating exit strategies. They're trying to lay hands on Cedric Diggory (apparently Ginny told them he's the secret keeper to Dover. He's not, is he? I'm pretty sure he's not. Serves them right for expecting good intel from someone they've cruciated repeatedly) to get them into Dover, and considering some maneuver involving sacrificing Seamus Finnigan because they think it'll bring the wards down.
So.
This is an opportunity. In several directions.
First off, I'm going to talk to my Aurors (the ones who are on their feet and not sitting vigil for anyone) about baiting a trap with someone PJ'd as Cedric. (Justin would be ideal for this, but he's a bit distracted at the moment.)
But here's the other thing to consider.
We could offer them exile. I know that's not what we'd prefer, especially for Bellatrix. But they're clearly ready to give up and let us have Albion. Certainly some of them, if they're willing to swear an oath never to return, we could just let them out.
And, the other thing to consider:
Aurora's in the process of taking down the wards. When she's done, they're going to scatter. So if we DO want any of them to see the inside of an Azkaban cell, we'd better act fast to get our hands on them.
Oh, and finally, just for the joy of sowing dissent within their ranks, I think we should have Haruman tell Padma Patil what they're planning with Seamus, and encourage her to write to him. He apparently agreed to this plan of theirs, but surely he's not happy about it! Given what happened to his mother, maybe he just desperately doesn't want someone else to die for him again.

I think he has to stand trial, but we can guarantee that he will not receive a death penalty. Exile could certainly be the sentence, provided Ireland were included - I don't want him going back to Belfast or Dublin and stirring up trouble there.
