[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER AND ALBION.]We have two new guests in our not-so-humble living space that I want you all to be aware of. Severus Snape and his wife are now residents of Hogwarts and will be assisting us from this point onward. Severus has been an invaluable source of information to the Order for months, effectively working as a spy among the Death Eaters.
I expect you all to treat him with the same respect you would treat each other. He has had a difficult time of this, as you might imagine. Do not make it more difficult for him.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR.]I apologise for not having informed you of the fact that we had a spy earlier, but between the Snape and me, we could start a war of our own with the level of paranoia. I had to respect his wishes that no one else know.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO SELF.]And this is why the Death Eaters have been winning all this time. No discipline. No respect. Self-centeredness and complacency we all should have outgrown when we saw our loved ones die. God help us.

[WARDED TO KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT AND DORIS CROCKFORD.]I believe our post-rehabilitation members are in need of both wands and journals. Doris, if you have not had any luck, I suggest that Kingsley tries to match their originals as best he can with the wands that the Army of Albion had on them when they came. There is still the matter of proper journals and I would very much prefer those to the shit they've been given at this point. I am aware some have their own wands and journals, but if they could have new ones, simply to be sure of their security, I would much prefer that.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER AND ALBION.]Excellent work making this place a fortress. Let's not stop with the traps, though. I want the grounds to look like a bloody slapstick when those bastards finally set foot onto it.
We'll be holding training sessions in the Great Hall before the morning runs that Patty implemented. I don't care who you are, what your sleeping habits are like or how much you piss and moan while you're doing it, but everyone needs to be ready to train no later than 5 A.M. and after the training, you can do your running. If you act like a baby when you don't get enough sleep, I suggest you stay away from Rufus's and go to bed early. I'm not budging on this.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]If I put it off much longer, that room's going to bloody start to smell to high heaven. August isn't kind to dead bodies, no matter what enchantments they have on them. So tomorrow night, we're going to hold the thing for Remus. I've been informed that he wanted to be cremated, so that's what I'll do. Those who knew him best can determine what he would have liked done with his remains outside of that. But it will happen tomorrow evening, after dinner.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]I think we ought to give Remus a proper burial. I was too angry and hasty to consider doing much of anything, which is why the Defence classroom has continued to be off limits. But a near week has tempered my rationality and I think that in spite of what has happened, he deserves interment by those who thought they knew him best. Beth and Hestia, I'll need your help when the time comes.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER AND ALBION.]Rufus and I have talked and we are aware that some of you are already working on setting the castle up in case we are attacked. We would like for everyone to make this a priority in addition to training and other duties. We want defences of any kind laid out -- traps, wards, anything you can think of that will cause maximum damage to our enemies.
I want this place impenetrable by the time we're through.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]The Army of Albion will be joining us this evening. I expect you all to get along. Shenanigans will not be tolerated and remember -- I've got my eye on you.
Also, the Defence classroom is still off limits and will be until I say otherwise.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER MINUS FORMER REHABILITATION CENTRE PATIENTS.]Excellent work last night, all of you. We need to make sure that those who were in the centre are keenly evaluated before we know for sure that we can trust them. Who knows what they've been through or how their states of mind have been altered? Beth and Hestia, I ask too much of you, but we need your expertise in this matter. Please keep a close watch on their physical and mental well-being. We need our members back, not neutralised little girls like Savage.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR.]Have you given any thought to the idea of moving your people to Hogwarts? We've got an entrance readied up and I think it makes sense for us all to be together if we're going to be working with each other now. We also have two Healers present and I think they should take a look at your girl.
I also want to make plans and that will require all hands on deck. We need something big. Something catastrophic for the bastards to walk right into. Obliteration is the option I like best.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO JEREMIAH SMITH.]I've heard a great many things about you, Mr Smith. I'm sure a man with as much supposed intelligence doesn't believe everything he reads and certainly not everything he writes. You'll want to believe that Petra Podmore is a vigilante. That's one detail the Death Eaters got right. She was operating as a spy within the DMLE until her name was given up. You can trust her. Tell her what you know.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]I need a few volunteers to help me collect the Longbottoms' things. Their son is in their home, to which we have access. We need to move quickly, before the Death Eaters locate and destroy the area. I want to have a proper burial for him. I think it's what Frank and Alice would have wanted. I also have a large stack of papers I need to go through, so unless it's urgent, I'd like to be left alone to do it for the next few days.
On a less somber note, we need to get our members back. I propose another assault on the rehabilitation centre. We'll need more careful planning and more resources since I don't doubt they've heightened their security since the last time we tried to get in there. At least we have some idea of what we're up against and if we've got to blow the doors to their rooms down to get them out, so be it. Beth and Hestia, you'll need to be on stand by for when everyone gets back. Let's make this work.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]The Dark Lord is dead. Unfortunately, we have also lost two of our finest. The Longbottoms are no longer with us. I am aware this hardly seems like a victory at the moment, and I encourage you all to mourn however you see fit. We will take action after a respectful pause.
Do not trust anyone outside of the Order for the time being. It is possible that we have a spy among us. Whoever it is, he or she will be weeded out and obliterated. I have lost the patience for mercy. With so few we can trust, I will not risk the outcome of this war for another moment. We are through wasting time with niceties. If you find yourself among Death Eaters, aim to kill. They would like nothing more than to do the same to us and will likely try. I expect you all to be strong and vigilant in the upcoming weeks. The tide is turning.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR.]I've had enough of these purist fuckers. The Longbottoms are dead. The Dark Lord is dead. I want to hit them hard. I want it to hurt.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]It seems as though brainwashing 'criminals' is not enough for our new Ministry and their happy purist friends. With this new orphanage thing, it looks as though they'll be getting their next generation of mindless purist twits straight from the womb. Or close to it. Not saying I care about the children so much as I don't want to be stuck fighting the Manchurian Candidate when I'm ninety years old. So, I say we do something about it. It's been a while since we've burned anything to the ground.
Patty, can you tell me where our darling Mrs Greengrass lives?

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]Since Abe has also fallen victim to the Rehabilitation Centre, I think we ought to start considering whether or current safehouse will be permanent or whether we'll try to continue with what Abe started at Hogwarts. If we do continue, I'll need to know if any of you have goblin contacts. I'm under the impression they are our best option if we want a tunnel constructed efficiently and correctly, and frankly, since I'd rather not have the thing collapse while I'm in it, I'd rather not take my chances with a second-rate digging job.
It is my opinion that we should continue with this plan and that we need to make the move sooner rather than later. Even after the STRONGLY SUGGESTED move to the safehouse, we are still losing track of our members. Do not be foolish. Do not take unnecessary risks and DO NOT go anywhere without a portkey. I do not need to tell you what the consequences for carelessness are.
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR.]Does your lot get wireless out there in the wilderness?

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]I want all of you to move to the safehouse. I realise it's an inconvenience but so is death, so until we figure out a way to get into Hogwarts safely and undetected, I want everyone in one safe place. If they ever find us there, at least we'll be in a large enough group to fight them off but I propose we decide on an alternative meeting location in the somewhat likely event that such an ambush takes place.
After what happened to Peter, James and Marlene, I don't want to take any chances that another of us will end up arrested, rehabilitated or worse. There is a possibility that we have all been sold out, that the Death Eaters know both our locations and our identities and I think we should take this very seriously. Without Dumbledore, much of the information that was previously under his protection is no longer safe.
An additionally and potentially crucial matter is that of Tabitha's absence from Alice's check-in. Has anyone seen or heard from her? I would hate to think that we have another victim on our hands.
I urge you all to practice the utmost caution from now on -- moreso than before. Now is not the time to be stupid. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
[END WARDS.]
[WARDED PRIVATE TO STURGIS AND PETRA PODMORE.]I understand that this is particularly trying for the two of you, given that you have not yet had to resort to life in hiding. I expect that you will not be pleased with this decision, particularly you, Patty, but it is in your best interests. If I cannot convince you to move, then I urge you to go to extreme measures to keep yourselves safe. Carry a portkey with you at all times. We cannot lose you two.

[Wednesday

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]We have reason to believe that James is being held in the Rehabilitation Centre. This has been a potential target of ours for some time and I think that now is as good a time as any to set our plans in motion. As soon as we plan them, that is. Our main objective should be to release the prisoners if that is at all possible. We don't know much about how the security detail is inside the building and while we can scope out the wards beforehand, we're not sure what kind of opposition we will meet once we are through them. Should we find that there is no possibility of getting to the prisoners, then I propose that we cause as much damage to the facility as possible. Either way, we should hit them where it hurts. Personally, I can't wait to see them flashing their family jewels around when they've got an entire building to pay to rebuild.
As always, we need to keep a steady head going into this, no matter how close to home the possibility of James being in there hits. We need a plan -- now to try and gain access to the building. We should take no unnecessary risks and we need a clear exit strategy. I think it might also be useful to have our Healers on stand by at the safehouse for when we come back in the event that anything happens.
Who's with me?

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]Remus, Lily, Beth, Marlene and myself will be returning to Knockturn to survey the scene. The rest of you, try to remain calm, make sure you are safe and DO NOT do anything rash. This is how we make mistakes and I will not give them the pleasure of catching us disorganised.
Patty, if you hear anything about this circulating the DMLE, let us know IMMEDIATELY.

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]Before we get down to business, I would like to say happy birthday, Tabitha. I hope that you're enjoying yourself, which sounds like something from the inside of a card, but I mean it most sincerely. And now. I hope that you have all had time to recover somewhat during the course of the week. It is a bit late, but I will cite what Marlene said nearly a week ago and reiterate that now is a prime opportunity for us. We are not affiliated with the Army of Albion and do not need to honour their negotiations with the Death Eaters. Now is the time to strike -- hard and fast -- while they are weakened. There are still Death Eater homes left standing, institutions to be returned to their proper conditions and shops that still refuse to cater to Muggle-borns. Anything we can think of, now would be a good time to put our ideas to good use. So long as we are careful, whatever we do. We want to have something to add to our reasons to celebrate this weekend, not some one to mourn.

[Sunday

[WARDED PRIVATE TO THE ORDER.]Everyone check in now.
For those of you who can get to the Safehouse and are not already here, do so immediately. We need to regroup. The Death Eaters may have retreated for now, but I am certain that as soon as they are able, they will attack again. Unless they plan to give in to the Army of Albion's list of demands, which I find unlikely. We will all need to be prepared to fight again at a moment's notice.
Oh, and. Good work in there last night.
