Order Only: ISS Business

[alt_sally_anne]

I was thinking we could make a list of things we find usefully distracting.

1. Christmas gifts. I've been working on knitting things and so on.
2. Someone left behind a catalogue from a book shop and I've been going through it and writing down the names of books I'd like to try to borrow from somewhere.
3. I was thinking maybe I'd re-read 'Pure Hunger' and 'Pure Power' seeing as the sequels are coming out soon and perhaps tonight would be a good night to do that as I don't expect I'll be sleeping much.

I don't even want to think about what they'd do if any of us turned up at Saltash. Other than knock us senseless and haul us back to Hogwarts.

Anyway, I can't apparate.

Harry thinks there might be more outbreaks. If that happens, they'll need every wand we can muster, what.

And there are Floo points, too--I mean to say, Sirius gave a Floo address for people at his friend's farm so there might be others nearby wherever we'd need to go.

If you asked Matron, she'd tell people we all came down with some sort of flu and we're all in the Hospital Wing. It might not fool Professor Dolohov but then he's out there with the others, possibly.

If it comes to that I agree. We should go. Whether they say 'yes' to it or not.

It's part of why I don't think I'm going to sleep much tonight. I don't trust they'll TELL us.

I can side-along you.

But only if you want to go. Do you? I mean, I think we can at least wait for tomorrow and see what's come of it. This could just be a camp thing and it may be on its way to being put down already. And if that's true, then we're not needed yet. But if it catches and other camps go up, they'll need us. That's what Harry's talking about. If this is more than just a single camp. If it's all out rebellion, we've got to be in it. We can't hang back and think that other people will fight it for us.

Anywiz. I don't want to talk this out in front of Evelyn, yeah?

But we should talk. Are prefects back from rounds yet?

We could meet.

Yeah. That would be very distracting That would be good. Ours are back, so it shouldn't be hard to slip out in a little while.

Justin said the same thing and yes. If it comes to that I think we should go, all of us who want to, whether the Order says 'yes' or not.

And yeah. I'd want you to side-along me.

But not tonight. Right now -- we don't know enough about what's going on to be useful. And the last time we went up against Councilwizards we didn't do very well. I'm afraid what would happen is that instead of helping people we'd wind up taking up resources because the Order would have to rescue us.

Justin said the same thing?! What would Hydra say about that? Heh.

Sorry.

No, you're right. If we go, we've got to do it right. We can fight and we know better than to run straight into chaos with no plan. So, yeah. We should wait for the reports overnight and see what's coming of it. I mean, if this is really going to be war, they'll need us tomorrow and the next day and the next.
