I don't know who ought to lead. Bill, Charlie, and Molly are all grieving. Alice -- well, like you said, she's already got Moddey, along with Frank. Poppy and Pomona are stuck at Hogwarts, like Minerva, which may have been our original reason for appointing Arthur a co-head, back when Minerva wasn't drowning herself in firewhiskey to the point that she could barely string a sentence together.
Macnair's not trusted enough -- I trust him not to betray us, at this point, but I don't trust his judgment to the point that I'd want to see him leading us. I'd just about rather see Snape lead us than Moody -- paranoid git, and he's just about as helpful as Albus when it comes to participating in day to day decisions.
There's Kingsley and his lot -- though that's the problem right there, isn't it. It's sort of the same problem as Alice, he's already got enough responsibilities I'm hesitant to dump more on him.
She said, given all the considerations I listed, that our best option is probably Lee Jordan.
Which means we should probably swear in the Jr. Aux at our earliest opportunity. Maybe one of THEIR lot has the sort of leadership skills we're looking for. And if not, at least they'll make Lee Jordan look mature and experienced.
Well. Jr Aux (we think) who aren't already in the Order: Perks, Parkinson, Finch-Fletchley, Weasley R, Longbottom, Longbottom, Lestrange. Based on who was at the Burrow over the weekend. Unknown if that's the whole of them, of course.
We could put Bea in charge and we'd have a much simpler mission!

But yes, you're right. (Looks like Sniv's taking care of her, at least. Or if he's not then maybe we'd better go?)
All the same I hate to saddle Alice with the responsibility for all of us. She's already got Moddey. And Frank.
Wonder if we could get Poppy and Pomona to frog-march Albus to the meeting?

And there's us -- you, me, Dora.

Not me, I'd be rubbish.
I'd rather have Kreacher than Snape, any day in the week.

Do you want to tell her, or shall I?

It would be completely impossible to put a current Hogwarts student who's not even reached wizarding maturity yet in charge of the Order.
Too bad.
