Order Only

The sodding Lord Protector is coming to Hogwarts tomorrow and staying through the weekend.

Just what all of us needed the weekend before NEWTs, to settle our nerves.

The rumour I heard is that he's coming to scout more prospects for new Death Eaters. Like he did last year with the contest, except this time he's just going to come check people out directly.

The Headmaster told us at supper and everyone tried to look pleased.

Sally-Anne,

I can jolly well tell you the elves are going spare. The head elf from the kitchen has been up to see the Headmaster three times already tonight.

I say, I think we might want to hold a Galleon meeting tomorrow after lessons, before he arrives. Harry, we probably ought to send out a message warning everyone to avoid eye contact and control their thoughts while he visits. I mean to say, they know that already, what, but it bears reminding.

Will that just make things worse? Whatever you do, don't think of a pink elephant or your personal disloyalty to the regime!

'Keep a cool head' if you prefer. The point being to warn them and tell them to help warn other students to school their thoughts in directions that will not get them killed.

Because it's just possible that it will be His pleasure to make me, or Ron or Hydra, do the killing.

'Keep a cool head and don't look in the LP's eyes' is excellent advice.

[alt_sally_anne]

Mind you, 'don't make eye contact' is always good advice.

Done! Hope I projected the right sort of tone; I tried anyhow.

Still, I feel badly for everyone who's not studied Occulumency. Hope my own's

Sue,

I say, thanks for doing that. I hope that's all we'll need, what.

Me too! With exams coming up, maybe we could encourage people to think about those?

Has Dolohov told you anything about his timetable?

[alt_justin]

I wish I could say I've any information, but I know as much as you, I'm afraid.

So there's still no word as to why he's there, then?

[alt_justin]

Mrs Longbottom,

Sorry, no, none at all.
