Order Only: Private message to Sirius and Draco

[alt_harry]

I went to the Hogsmeade safehouse last night to pass my cloak to Ron. He thought it might help a few more people to get out, if they all had to make a run for it.

There are Enforcers outside the safehouse now, watching it. In case anyone comes out. It's a little unnerving.

Anyway, I hope I didn't disturb anyone, coming or going. I was careful not to set off the portrait.

Of course now that I don't have it I keep thinking about how much I'd like to go flying.

So they finally stumbled upon the safehouse, eh? I wonder if we ought to move the colocation box to 12G or the Manor. The purpose of having a safehouse near Hogsmeade was to have nearby sanctuary in case someone had to flee the castle on foot or by broom, but that won't do any good if there are Enforcers guarding it.

I know what you mean, I could use a good fly, too. But if MLE are looking for you as vigilantly as they ought to be, they'll have air patrols near any location they think you're likely to be, which no doubt includes 12G and the Manor.

Could go to Moddey, though.

The other thing about the Hogsmeade safehouse was that since I was the Secret Keeper, I could tell Michael Corner or Edward Bones the secret if they needed it. But, I'm not there to do that anymore. On the other hand, I could write it down and give the parchment to Ron. (He got to the secret room in snake form. I'm not sure anyone anyone else can even go there right now.) If it gets into the wrong hands and stops being a safehouse, we've lost the Hogsmeade safehouse, which is irritating but it's a risk we can run. We wouldn't want to do that with 12GP.

I suppose I could give everyone the secret via the galleon, actually, that ought to work. As long as no one loses their galleon.

[alt_draco]

We can afford to lose the Hogsmeade safehouse, but we really can't lose the colocation box.

Should I move it?

[alt_draco]

Hydra's the secret keeper for Malfoy Manor and she's still at Hogwarts.

Maybe we should move it there.

[alt_harry]

Oh.

Yes, that's a good point. Yes. Let's move it to the Manor. (And let Hydra and the rest know, while we're at it.)

[alt_draco]

Why don't you tell them while I see about moving it?

And I guess I'll put this curse work aside for the day and we'll head to Moddey for a fly.

Fair warning - Arista will want to join us.

[alt_harry]

Well, how is she on a broom? She's not going to fall off or anything, is she?

[alt_draco]

She's pretty good.

Not as good as she thinks, though.

[alt_harry]

And yeah.

Let's go to Moddey and fly.

[alt_draco]

Can it wait til after lunch?

I just really want to see if I can perfect the timing on this curse. I feel like I'm getting close...

[alt_harry]

It can definitely wait until after lunch.

Especially as you're actually doing something useful and I'm just saying, 'let's go for a fly, I'm restless and bored because I feel useless.'

I'd rather eat here, anyway.

[alt_harry]

Even if every student at Hogwarts already had the secret to get into the Hogsmeade safehouse, it's utterly useless without a way to get there.
