Order Only: the current crop of babies

[alt_lupin]

I was looking back just now at Arthur's list of babies from the book. There were thirteen, yes? I'm trying to remember who isn't yet safely at Moddey.


There were Mary Ashton and Puneet Kamathali, both in London. Sirius and Dora went for them, got Mary, and had to wait on Puneet. Did you make another (successful) try or is Puneet still out there?

Abby Harrison of Leeds. Frank and Steve fetched her.

Jack and Branwen from Scarborough; Branwen was from a mining family who was glad to see she'd go somewhere she wouldn't have to go to the mines at age five. Actually, was Jack her parent, and Alice mis-wrote? Because I count fourteen, otherwise.

Ethan, the Leap Baby. I know we haven't fetched him yet.

Jane Briden, Abbotskerswell in Devon. Dora and I went for her.

Walter Cousins, from North Yorkshire. I know someone got him, but I can't remember who. Kingsley?

Ivy Lovell and Sirius Maxwell, who we still haven't found.

And then I wasn't able to spot if these four had been tracked down and their parents contacted:

Gillian Fitzhugh, from Saltash, in Cornwall.
Heather Flockton, from Burnham-on-Crouch, in the Maldon district in Essex.
Jason Baker, from Banbury in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire.
Tavis MacNichol, Argyll, Scotland.

I feel like perhaps we need a checklist.

Well, WE can put your mind at rest. Sally-Anne Perks was at the Burrow today, to play Quidditch. She said she's going to Cambridge tomorrow (Neville's going, too.)

[alt_gredforge]

And of course she's going back to school soon and so hopefully won't have much more time to come around and maybe ask awkward questions.

[alt_alice]

It is rather too bad that she'll have to think that one of the children she worked so hard to save died.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah, that WILL be hard on her. If she finds out. She was real worried about those kids. She talked about it a little at lunch.

With any luck, the Strettons will keep her so busy she won't have a chance to go back to check on them before she leaves for the train.

Oh! And before I forget.

A Safehouse for the Order is located at 12 Grimmauld Place.

You should be able to get in now to look at the books and things. It can be written or spoken, but I've never tried through journals before, so it might be different. If it doesn't work, let me know and I can pop down there or send a quick owl.

When you come to Moddey Dhoo, that's under a different secret-keeper. So that will have to wait until you come for a visit and she can give it to you in person.

Thanks, Allie.

Lads, come along anytime. The Floo's open. But mind you come quietly; Dora's sleeping and if you're too loud, you'll set off the portrait.

And we don't need that. Trust me.

[alt_gredforge]

Great. We'll be along shortly. Thanks, Sirius.

[alt_gredforge]

Uh, what portrait?

[alt_alice]

Let's just say you want to be quiet.

Sirius's mother left a rather indelible version of herself behind, and she likes to yell.

[alt_gredforge]

We were going to say, 'Just like our mum!'

But now we've met the portrait and we're glad we didn't. They're nothing alike.

(And sorry, Sirius, hope Bea got back to sleep all right.)

[alt_nymphadora]

Oh, straight away. (After forty minutes of shouting. Can't think why she's so cranky when her nap gets cut short...)

You find what you needed here, then?

[alt_gredforge]

We're still looking.
