alt_lupin at 12:06am on 02/06/2013Right, so I imagine after Hermione's latest everyone wants an update.
Apparently Arista Selwyn wrote to Ron from her father's diary earlier this evening, telling him that she was being held prisoner somewhere in the Ministry. Ron promptly rounded up the bulk of the Institute from Aurora Sinistra and Rabastan Lestrange's wedding, and after a cursory attempt at finding an Order member (there were several present; apparently every single one was either hiding in the loo, or deep in conversation with Death Eaters) they decided this couldn't possibly wait and took off en masse by floo to break in to the Department of Mysteries. Disguised with masks left over from the Halloween party at Hogwarts last autumn.
It's worth noting that at some point in the last few weeks, Dominic Selwyn gave Arista a necklace with a tiny bottle and instructions to drink the contents if she were to find herself 'in the very worst possible trouble.' I think we can safely assume, both from those instructions and the results, that the bottle contained Felix Felicis.
In any case, after successfully breaking in, they were pursued by Antonin Dolohov and Barty Crouch, who -- doubtless due to the benevolent influence of Arista's potion -- focused on subduing the miscreants rather than killing or permanently maiming them (though Sally-Anne Perks came rather close to one or the other. Poppy expects her to recover.)
Having subdued all but a handful that managed to remain hidden, Crouch and Dolohov killed Chloe Selwyn and then inexplicably left, at which point our young friends bolted for the floo, where they took the precaution of flooing to a nearby corner and not straight here.
Hermione, does that basically cover it? I suppose I could list out precisely who went and precisely what Dolohov cast on each, if anyone's wondering.
Arista Selwyn, age nine, and Hector Selwyn, age three, are now in the custody of the Order. We're going to take them to 12GP for the night, rather than rousing Arabella. I don't expect anyone will object to bringing them to Moddey, despite -- well. Yes. They are innocent children, and deserve as much protection and care as any other.
