ORDER ONLY

[alt_harry]

So what should we do next? We've got the Distance Flying Club on Friday, don't we? Is there any particular way we should take that would be useful? I mean, I guess just flying around is okay too, because it's good cover for when we do have somewhere important to go.

I really need to work on Apparation, and I know other people do too. Could we do that at Tea Appreciation next week, maybe?

Wherever we go, I hope we can get some ley flying in. I was hoping we'd cross one of them on our way to the farm, but we didn't.

I mean, I want to go wherever we need to. It would just be a bonus if we got to do some ley flying, too.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah.

Ley flying is cool.

We can definitely do recon, though. There's hardly anywhere we could go that would be particularly suspicious. We'd just be doing long-distance flying to train for CCF, you know?

(Has anyone heard from CCF yet? They said they were dropping people this year from the programme but who knows, I mean with Umbridge gone...anyway.)

No. Nothing.

Ugh. What if they drop me and keep you?

Re: Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_sally_anne]

They're not going to do that. They're more likely to drop me and keep you, and Pansy, and the other purebloods.

Re: Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

Maybe they'll drop us both.

Or maybe they won't have CCF at all. I mean, maybe Umbridge really did muck it up so badly they can't get the details worked out in time for summer. That'd be all right.

Re: Private Message to Sally Anne

I suppose. It was sort of fun before Umbridge got hold of it, but we can have the Order help us train now, we don't need it as much for that.

Perhaps you could start surveying for the location of the Octoboros? I'm fairly sure that once one is found, the location of the rest could be extrapolated, but that's from what Cecelia's told me -- it's all one big guess at this point. There's some rather tricky Arithmancy involved, of course, but we'd need to find one first.

Perhaps the railroad the Octoboros we captured was traveling along would be a good start -- I'm not sure if it was headed in a straight path to its ultimate destination, but if you were to follow the train tracks, perhaps see which route it might have taken to the coast, that would be useful.

Well it's good to know she's got confidence in us.

Except wait, there's a horcrux out there she didn't ask us to find while we were at it. It has to be around here SOMEWHERE -- it's certainly not going to be outside the wards!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Heh. Yeah.

I mean if it was as simple as flying up the railroad tracks to find where it was headed, they'd have done that already. Wouldn't they?

Do they think the Ministry've put another one wherever the one we captured was meant to go? I haven't read all of-

Oh, who am I kidding, I haven't read much of anything from before.

What do they really know about the one they found? And is that what it's really called or just a name we made up for it?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I've read loads and loads but it's impossible to keep track of it all.

I think maybe one of your brother's Analysts found out that's what it was called? But I'm not sure. It came from the Department of Mysteries and maybe it IS that simple, I mean, flying up the railroad tracks. Half the Order adults are fugitives and most of the rest are people like your mum, they have stuff they have to do most days. We're on holiday, so...we have time, maybe.

Mind you, if they thought it was that important, and that easy, they'd have done it by now.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Well, then. That's easy. We'll fly there on Friday. No problem.

If it's there, they'll think we're brilliant, and if it's not we'll just start looking under cabbage leaves in all the fields we find from now until we leave for school. Or CCF. Whatever. We'll work on it.
