Order Only: Private message to Ron, Justin, and Draco

[alt_harry]

That was an ecxle excellent afternoon. I wish we could do that more often.

[alt_ron]

Nic e to have that place to slip off to, yeah?

[alt_draco]

Hey. It could also save your life someday, son.

Son, how do you like that? Its my Kingsley impersonation.

Never seen F-F so pissed off his tits. Did he have to go lie down or summat?

[alt_harry]

I don't know, I mean he didn't come back to Gryffindor obviously. But probably. I mean he kept getting more and more careful not to knock anything over and his accent got even more poncey posh.

I like your Kingsley impersonation. Do Mrs Longbottom next.

[alt_draco]

"I see." Followed by a mountain of gratitude for all your sacrifices.

Seriously, though, you're sacrificing way too much. We've got to find you a girl. Too bad Daphs is over the moon for Creepy Crouch, cos I bet she'd be a good match for you. She fancies you gentlemanly Gryffindors, when she's not fancying maniacs.

[alt_ron]

What about Astoria?

She likes gentlemanly types, too, yeah? Was all gooey over F-F, wasn't she?

[alt_draco]

I don't know, was she? I haven't seen Astoria in yonks.

Speaking of Daphs though, how we going to tell her that we think Creepy Crouch's eagle-staff artefact-thing might be a horcrux?

[alt_harry]

Do you think we should ask Hydra first? I mean to make sure she's still

I don't know. I guess if she weren't on our side we'd all be dead, right? Or at least Ron would. Sally-Anne. Pansy.

[alt_draco]

She's on our side. She's making some truly questionable personal and romantic choices right now, but - it's not the first time she's done that. But Daphs is a bit of a Hufflepuff, for a Slytherin. She's not going to turn against us.

Pretty sure, anyway.

[alt_ron]

Can't hurt to ask Hydra, though.

Just to be sure.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Thas the question of the day, innit?

I mean, it could be dangerous if she doesn't know, but knowing it could make it dangerous for her, too.

We've gotta tell her, tho', right?

[alt_harry]

I think we have to. It's not like any of the rest of us can go poking round Barty Crouch's house.

[alt_ron]

Or Dolohov's.

I mean, where do you think he's even keeping it? For all I know, he's got other houses, too. Or other places he can store things. Doesn't Voldemort give them all manors and land and whatever they want?

[alt_harry]

Marlborough is his, but he almost never goes there. I think mostly he lives at Dolohov's house in London.

The other place he could keep it is Snowdonia. You know, Maebh Drumgoole's hunting preserve. Crouch actually asked for that land and then gave it to her as a gift, that's how she got it. I overheard people talking about that, years ago.

[alt_ron]

Didn't he almost marry her? I mean, she's the one Voldemort said he couldn't marry that time, right?

Cause that would be awkward. 'Listen, Daphs, I'll just be dropping by Snowdonia for a bit tonight. You know, to drop something off. With my ex. Don't wait up.'

[alt_harry]

Yeah, that was her. But do you think he'd even bother mentioning that to Daphne? It's 'Our Lord's business,' one way or another.

[alt_ron]

Ugh.

Why would she want to be with a bloke who treats her like that?

Yeah, alright. I don't understand Daphs at all. It's just what Zabini's like, too, and he's the best of the bad lot she's picked (present company excluded, y'know).

[alt_harry]

Gentlmenaly Gryffindors, or maniacs. Which one is Blaise, then?

Anyway, at least Daphne is an Order member. Too bad, yeah, she's pretty taken.

[alt_draco]

He's just a tit.

Well, I don't know that she's really THAT taken. Maybe Crouch will grow tired of her.

And go back to my Mother. Bloody nightshade I detest that maniac.

[alt_harry]

I still think our best shot at killing him is have Hydra do it 'accidentally' as a 'training accident.'

[alt_ron]

She owes him one, yeah?

I mean, whoa. What Justin said about it... how cold was Crouch?
