ORDER ONLY: ISS business

[alt_harry]

What should we do with the people who didn't want to stick around last time the next time we have a meeting?

Should we keep Obliviating them? I don't know if that'll work long term. I don't want Daphs to give hers up though. I think we ought to give her a bit of a chance. Maybe we can work with her more one on one or something. I'm not sure about Chang and Edgecombe, though.

Gryffindors, any news on what Honoria and Ginny thought about the meeting? They both had stuff to say, so that's good, I guess. Evs, Luna, what about Artemus?

We shouldn't keep Obliviating them. It could be dangerous to do that too many times or too often.

I think we should either always only use the Galleon to call meeting that really are for anyone with a Galleon--or we should come up with a code that sounds like something Edgecombe and Chang won't want to do, but really means one of the secret meetings for everyone else.

Or we could just get their Galleons back from them so they don't have them anymore--tell them that if they missed that meeting, we need them back for the new people who are still interested.

[alt_harry]

Maybe what we could do is tell them that we're planning on talking about the Protectorate from now on, and that if they want to keep the coins because they want to help if an emergency happens, they can, but they can't tell anybody what we're talking about.

And if they don't want to keep them, we ask them to give them up and then obliviate them one more time?

[alt_sally_anne]

We could steal them back, or something like that. Then confund them or modify their memory so they think they lost them.

[alt_harry]

You think we should do that to Daphs too?

[alt_sally_anne]

No, I don't want to do that to Daphne.

If we make sure it conflicts with her schedule -- there are other Prefects, so we wouldn't want to do it during Prefect meetings. But she's got revising groups and clubs and so on, we could probably make sure she just couldn't ever make it.

Is anyone else reading what's happening?

I can't stay in my room. And I can't be in the common room. Can we slip away somewhere, Pete?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private Message to Neville

[alt_neville]

Right. I'm with you. Let me grab my robe, and then I'll be on my way down.

Mr Severus might let us sit in his office.

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

[alt_sally_anne]

Bloody hell I wish they'd let us help.

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

[alt_pansy]

I'm not sure how much good we'd be.

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

[alt_sally_anne]

We'd be better than nothing.

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

[alt_ron]

Too right.

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

[alt_harry]

This might be the start of it. Everything, I mean.

If the other camps start doing the same thing, we're helping.

And if they try to do what they did in Ireland and start rounding everyone up, I don't think we can sit out either.

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

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

I'm not sitting out if this is going full on. We can't. It's not as if sixth year NEWT lessons are important if the world's coming to bits.

Listen. Promise me. If you go, let me know. I'm coming with.

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

[alt_harry]

Okay.

[alt_justin]

Harry,

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the Galleons (and I think that was Summers, who posted, what--he's been peppering me with questions since Saturday!).

I just.... Dash it, does everyone else feel bally well helpless while they all go off to that camp? Or the farm, what?

[alt_ron]

Bloody right.

Private Message to Justin

[alt_harry]

I've just said on ISS that if another camp starts up, we've got to do something to help.

And if they round up everyone and try to kill them, like they did in Ireland, I'm not going to sit around and watch them do it.

Re: Private Message to Justin

[alt_justin]

Quite right, old chap.

Particularly those of us who can Apparate. There's no reason we can't ask Matron to tell everyone we're in the Hospital Wing and we can go to Hogsmeade to Apparate wherever we're needed.

I say. Good form, well done.

-Justin

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah.

[alt_hermione]

I'm used to it. I mean, I've been around that sort of thing for a long time.

But it doesn't really get easier.

Terry, you're not with one of the groups that left Sherwood, are you? If you are, please be careful!
