alt_lupin at 03:27pm on 01/02/2015I am a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Today, after sending an army of Inferi against the muggles and muggleborns who'd been sheltering in Sherwood Forest, a group of Death Eaters lined up every man, woman, and child who lived in the village of Ollerton, arranged them artfully into tableaux, then murdered them in cold blood. I saw it happen, but was powerless to intervene.
This was done on the Lord Protector's orders, on the specious grounds that if they were close to Sherwood, they were doubtless in league with the outlaws.
This could have happened to any one of you. To your families. People you love. No one is safe from 'Our Lord.'
NO ONE.

Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
Peter and I have been having a chat. Well, a rather one-sided chat; I'm not letting him out just now.
But before that, Harry and I talked a little more. He's still utterly lost for a way to bring about Voldemort's actual, physical death. We talked about the Horcruxes and all that, but when it comes to it, how is Harry mean to kill him?
I suggested drowning him in a butt of malmsey. He didn't seem to think that was very realistic. Funny, that.
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
Which is really not one of my talents, if you've ever wondered.
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
It's not the sort of potion that's spiked with Old Ogden's and has a dollop of whipping cream on the top, is it? Because I could use that sort of potion, quite honestly.
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
But yes, that is exactly the sort of potion I'm in the mood for, although I'm not supposed to mix it with wolfsbane and despite everything, Hermione turned up with a steaming fresh mug of the stuff about five minutes ago.
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
But there she was with it, so. I couldn't very well say 'no thank you, decided to go without this month,' not at that point.
Re: Order Only: Private message to Padfoot
Anyway. I'm waiting for dark to head back, but it should only be...oh, three or four hours after that. I'll want one of those potions, if only to unfreeze my hands and feet after flying that long in this miserable weather.
Oh, and we'll have Peter to entertain us! I've been looking forward to this reunion.

I want to hear him say it. Those things he said to Harry. I want him to admit to us what he did. Even though I know it won't change anything.

I'm going to show my father the footage I captured on my omnioculars. He won't be shocked by what unfolded, but I do think he'll believe it's a shockingly stupid public relations move, on Voldemort's part. Who knows, it might make a difference.
