Sirius and I are all right. Well, Sirius will be in a bit. We're at Bedford. Thought it better to go somewhere else, I mean, to split the group of us just in case.

Ellie's dead. Threw herself in front of Sirius when Bellatrix cast the killing curse.

She was the one who cast the Dark Mark. To warn people. Anyone who might be coming, to stay away.

Remus is right: if they'd had any idea at all, they'd have had the floo reset to send anyone coming through straight to Truncheon before you had any notion of what was happening.

They got loads of leads from that Crimson Company bust, most of them the sort of very dull dead end you want followed up on by someone you keep around for precisely that sort of thing. If it looks interesting, you send for backup, which is precisely what the Enforcer who came tonight did.

Fortunately.

Fortunate.

Anything you can glean in the next few days which will help us with damage control, we'll be mighty glad to hear it.

Without blowing your own cover, naturally.
