[Warded to Moody]

I am copying you a list of names. These are the listed subscribers to the Quibbler, and these same names are also going to Inner Circle Death Eaters. I know you've only got so much that you can do, but if there's a way to get word out that Death Eaters might pay attention to who subscribes to the Quibbler in a 'it's a conspiracy theory, but a convincing one' sort of way, that would probably be good. And the writers of the Quibbler are in danger as well - but my guess is they're already aware of that considering.

Also so long as there are copies to confiscate from the post I can drop a confiscated copy at your flat if that would be helpful. That way you lot can continue copying them into journals so that at least those with journals will continue to receive the stories.

And on a non-Quibbler note, I dropped the healing potions I have made at the flat and you can let me know if there is anything else that would be useful.

Finally, I had one other thing I'd like to discuss and that is simply this. I want Agatha and I to come to Hogwarts before you're ready to call the Death Eaters into a fight. I'd also like the people on your side to know that I'm on your side. I've had enough fun trying not to get hexed in the back by any of them the past year. They "know" I'm a Death Eater and if they stumble across me fighting - they may or may not stop to notice that I'm hexing other Death Eaters not Order members.

This does not need to happen immediately, of course, in fact unless you're absolutely certain Lupin was your only spy it's probably best to happen just before, but I frankly don't fancy getting hexed in the back from my own side, so I would like for it to happen enough before that they have the opportunity to get used to the idea.

If that's possible.

I'm torn between being angry we're down two more fighters and being relieved that I don't have to contend with Black & Lupin's reaction to this news. At the moment I'm so exhausted, that I feel - perhaps selfishly because tactically the former would make more sense - all right with being the latter.

[Warded to Agatha]

Quibbler on the table, same instructions as before only with the extra warning of don't reveal the pictures - they're nasty.

~~I don't know if I'm growing immune, or if I'm just too weary to work up the energy to be angry or surprised.~~

You wouldn't happen to have any of that back salve would you?

[Warded to Lily]

You're doing all right?

The lies people will write.

Confiscated copies would be most helpful, as are the potions you dropped off. Thank you for both, Severus.

Additionally, I don't think it's such a bad idea for the two of you to come here. Fighting could break out any day, now and we're preparing ourselves for quite the battle. You'd be far safer and after I spoke with everyone, I doubt anyone would give you too much trouble.

	Your welcome. If there is anything else that you need and I can provide just ask. Good. When are you thinking? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Apparently we are now on 16 hour a day patrols in Tinworth, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade. I've done worse and can no doubt continue to do so, but I'm also fairly confident there are more useful ways for me to spend sixteen hours a day so if you come up with any, I will be more than happy to disappear from my patrol duty.

	Right now, we're mostly focusing on training and I think that once we get you settled in, you could certainly show us a few tricks of the trade. We can make arrangements for you at any time, so you just let me know when you're prepared to make the move. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I would be happy to do that if it can be helpful. I've already talked to Agatha about making arrangements. I would say we could be ready as early as tomorrow evening so I think it is more a matter of when you want us.

And as far as training goes I'd far rather spend sixteen hours a day training than sixteen hours a day patrolling. I'm fairly confident it would be a better use of time at this juncture and one can rarely practise too much.

I just want to help us win this Moody. I know most of your group won't have any reason to trust me or want me there, but I'll do whatever you need me to do so that hopefully they'll feel comfortable trusting me when their backs are turned. I've been training Agatha some, but she's not had any real training and if you're doing detailed training I know she'd benefit from that. I've not had near the time I would have liked to have had to work with her.

We're preparing for a battle. I'm not sure if there's much left that you could supply us with that would change our plan right now. Whatever they do, we will find a way to get them to Hogwarts and when they get here, we'll be ready.

I want to win this as bad as you do, kid. We're going to do whatever it takes. When you get here, I think we should wait until I've had a chance to talk to everyone before we move you in with the others. If you're ready to come tomorrow evening, then we're ready to have you. I can meet you outside and bring you in through the entrance McGonagall worked out. The place is kind of a hazardous work in progress at the moment.

Yeah. I understand. I don't really know what you've been doing and I know it's probably been quite a bit. I really don't want to be in the way so when I get there point me to what I can do and I will do it. And I know Agatha would say the same. She's a hard worker.

And that makes sense. Obviously when you've been calling me a Death Eater on the radio I don't want to walk into the Great Hall until you've had a chance to tell people that I'm not going to kill them - I don't particularly fancy being killed this week(!) Although - if it's all the same, I'd like - I mean, I think I'd honestly feel most comfortable in Slytherin house if that's a possibility - once you've told them all that is.

I will talk to Agatha about timing but unless you hear otherwise from me, we will be outside at around eight tomorrow evening.
