My sleep schedule's all thrown off. I don't know if I'll be tired enough for bed earlier than four. There was all that frantic running around for what seemed like approximately three days and then once we were done and I was home in bed -- well, back at HQ, in bed -- I was too wound up to sleep.

And then of course everyone very considerately didn't wake me. So now I'm very well rested and it's almost midnight and I'll probably be tired enough to sleep at around sunrise. Maybe I should make myself stay up through the day again. Or possibly there will be another 4 a.m. crisis and my odd schedule will come in useful.

I know what you mean. I didn't wake up til after two myself. All that Apparating yesterday.

I'm working on reports for Rachel - and Hydra, I suppose, once she's back on Legilimency duty - on the Enforcers who defected to us over the course of yesterday.

How many turned themselves in today? Three? Plus the six teams from yesterday. Not bad, I suppose.

Shame it took so many lost repositories of Sleepers to change their minds.

Well, at least you managed some useful work today.

What did she have you ask them?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Mostly I think these were questions to be double-checked when Hydra's able to ask again, or when Horace has resupplied our Veritaserum.

We started with what sort of work they did as an Enforcer, meaning what tasks were they normally assigned.

Then we asked about family members and anyone else who needs protection if we accept their surrender or decide to put them to work.

Next were the interesting questions, or at least, the interesting answers. How many wizards (of any blood purity) did you kill in Voldemort's service? How many Muggles? How many people did you arrest or turn in, and what did you think or know would happen when you did?

And of course, the really important question, which is why did you decide to cut ties with MLE and join us now?

Sorry I wasn't around to help.

What sorts of answers did you get?

[link] [parent] [reply]

No, you needed your rest, too, and it was good to have something to do (that didn't involve hopping about the country).

The answers came in a fascinating range.

There was the one who started to weep as she tallied up the lives she'd ended. The one who tried to tell me all sorts of 'secrets' like Wakefield Prison or things about the Department of Mysteries - things we already know. The person who expected us to rescue nearly every relative regardless of how tenuously connected.

Mostly it was the ones who'd lost count that bothered me the most. I'm pleased to say I think it bothered them a bit, too.

Oh, and I asked (though it wasn't on Rachel's list) just what they would do, if our positions were reversed? What sort of mercy would they have meted to us if we were the ones asking for it. Most of them didn't even know what to say.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Lost count.

~~I wonder if any of ours~~

Yeah.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I know.

I - Was I snappish with Rachel, earlier? I should apologise tomorrow, perhaps.

[link] [parent] [reply]

No, I don't think you were. And I don't think you need to apologise.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I should probably go find Alice or Rachel, if they're still awake, and get some useful thing to pore over while I burn the midnight oil. I'm sure there's plenty. Maps of resources or files from the Ministry or who knows what.

Are you going to be up for a while yet?

[link] [parent] [reply]

A while. I'm on my second wind, I think.

Though I could use a sandwich or something. Maybe some tea.

Oh, that reminds me, we should make sure Cedric gets hold of Aleks. I'm sure he'd be able to get us crates of the stuff as soon as we're able to import again. If that doesn't win us the 'hearts and minds' campaign I don't know what will!

[link] [parent] [reply]

Good thought on the tea!

I need something to eat, too. Whether it's properly lunch or a midnight snack. Meet me? It feels like six months since we've been able to sit down together, awake. Longer.
