Elle "hates thestrals" Abercrombie

You know what I want to know?

If I claim I was truly remorseful for killing Tabitha Pryce's beast of a husband Aaron (for which I am responsible), and offered to turn myself in to go to the Rehabilitation Centre - would it be accepted?

Or would they hand me over to their oh-so-tame werewolf lackey Tabitha and let her eat me alive? Given that she's obviously got a bloodlust still and they're going to need to do something to sate her appetite in order to get her to behave, I think that they would have no qualms about turning over a remorseful person to a sadistic murderer.

Here's the thing though. I am sorry that I took a life. That part will always haunt me.

But I am not sad that the motherfucker is dead. He deserved to be put down. In my eyes, I did the world at large a service.

{Warded to Albion minus Gina}

I know I came in last night to get healing supplies and left rather quickly, but I wanted you all to know that I am currently in residence at the bed & breakfast on the outskirts of town. I can't leave here quite yet, as I'm tending to myself and someone else who can't get into our Fidelius.

I have Gina.

She's shaken up and currently resting, but she looks relatively healthy. She was unsure whether or not to come with me, but I think that's because she thought it was a trick, not because she was brainwashed not to trust me.

Gina's alive. Gina's alive.

I think she's safe to allow within the Fidelius, but I'm obviously not the one to make that call. If you want to come visit her to check it out yourself, Rufus, let me know and I'll give you our exact location.

Also. Ow. I hate splinters. But totally worth it.

I hope you're proud of me. I wish I could have been bringing you and Alice home too.

{Warded against Purists and Death Eaters known to Albion after this}

Little victories. I have to revel in every little victory.

I don't believe in an afterlife. Never have. It doesn't make any logical sense to me. We have our consciousness, our being, and that has the capability of either staying... or dissipating. So either you become a ghost, or you're done. It's just always what I've believed. No heaven, no hell, no in between. Either you're dead, or you're a ghost.


But I found today that I actually hope there's a hell. A place of eternal torment and pain. Or muggleborns dancing around in tutus burning books. Just because... well? That would be justice.

Edit: Figurative muggleborns. Perceived ones to the people who actually are in hell. Obviously I don't think that muggleborns should be in hell.


I'm in the mood for fireworks. And champagne. A toast to the circle of life - for every child born a life must be sacrificed to maintain the balance of the world. How.... poetic.

{Warded to Kate, Aloysius, Kingsley, & Sam}

I'm good with wards, but I probably need more complicated ones here at Mum's place. I'm not going back to Gairloch. I don't even know if I can help with Albion anymore. If either of you could come by and help me ward this place, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'll do the research and do it on my own.

I will not be returning to camp. If my services are needed, go fuck yourselves please contact me via journal.

Do this quickly, get it fucking over with, but don't expect me to like it or to easily trust you again. I'm meeting Sam at the edge of camp and I'll be there soon.

{/End Ward}

{Warded to Frank, Alice, Rufus, Hestia}

I have the list - I don't know if it's complete - people were moving everywhere and people kept showing up and disappearing. This castle is too damn big and we didn't mandate that people needed to stay put. Hestia, I'll get you the list ASAP.

Also, I found the House Elves. They're our way to food, but nothing else I'm sorry to say. However, keeping people fed is probably up there on the priorities list. I gave them a list of how many and they're going to start serving food in the front hall - since the Great Hall is currently triage. They weren't thrilled about doing a "buffet style" - but it's the best way to work around things these days.

I'll let everyone else know.

{/End Ward}


{Warded to Everyone at Hogwarts}

Meals will be served 3 times daily, with a mid-afternoon tea time as well, in the front hall of the school. It will be 'buffet style' since there isn't really any room to eat in there, and the Great Hall is currently being used as triage. If you have any special dietary needs please let me know. Otherwise just be thankful that we have food, and shouldn't be running out anytime soon.

If a birthday is meant to celebrate a day for the ones we love, should we stop celebrating when they've died? Or do we stop celebrating because that person is no longer in our lives?

No one believes when you say the sky is falling, even when the pieces fall upon their heads.

You can't     die.

{Gairloch}

Given that our position and safety has been compromised because of the traitor Higgs leaving Gairloch, I think we're all in agreement that a Fidelius Charm needs to be utilised, and quickly.

Jo brought me all the books we had gathered from different sources about the Fidelius, as well as how to increase the potency of Charms, though the Fidelius is one of more complicated, complex, and strongest charms I've ever had the pleasure need to study.

Unfortunately, because of its complexity, there are a multitude of ways that it can be cast. I suggest we cast it as strongly as can, but also have a bit of flexibility if others are to join us here - they need to be able to be protected under our Fidelius as well.

Some of the books suggest that the strongest Fidelius is based on place rather than on the basis of the people within an unplottable spot. There's a lot of argument between the two - they even dispute whether making a place unplottable is even necessary. Personally, given our situation, I think as many precautions as we can take, the better.

Damn, this light is horrible and squinting isn't helping this headac

However, all of the books agree on the fact that the Secret Keeper is the only person who can divulge the secret, even if they were to die. So say I was the Secret Keeper, I told all of you, and then was killed. You all would know the secret, but you couldn't tell anyone.

This does change, however, if you make the Secret a place - if the place is destroyed, then the secret no longer exists. It's extremely complicated, and it's a very old charm, so a lot of the wording is confusing.

There is a lot of contention and I'm trying to make a cohesive plan for us to cast it, but no matter what, we will need the following things:

1) Strict boundaries that we can protect under the charm. We need these defined on a map or some other illustration - unless we want to cast it at ever foot of perimeter.
2) A complete list of those living here. Anyone who will be coming and going will have to be told the secret and not included in it. If they're included in it - if I'm understanding this correctly - it could get a bit hazy and mess with the strength of the spell.
3) A Secret Keeper who will not be someone who leaves the encampment often (as this increases the risk of capture, torture, and revelation - or even accidental revelation).

The subject of the spell (unless, of course, it is a place) is who casts the majority of the spell, with the Secret Keeper to finish the spell. I can do my best to outline what needs to be done, but someone who has a skill in Charms would be preferable. We also may need to give ourselves an overarching, inclusive, identifying name in order to make the spell stronger. Adding each additional person can be tricky and there are all sorts of provisions that have to be made depending on how many variables are involved.

In regards to Higgs, with the Fidelius Charm in place - it appears that while Gairloch won't be wiped from his memory (like Obliviation would have done) he will become muddled on the location and details. So he'll remember that he was here, but he'll not be able to pinpoint where we are, and the name will be consistently on the tip of his tongue, but he'll never be able to form the words. Unfortunately, unless we can get ahold of him, this is the best that can be done.

I will edit this entry as I gather more information (I will admit, I am attempting to do this quickly, as we need to do this now) but if you have any questions, I will see how I can answer them, and if I can.



If anyone is extraordinary in Charms work... now would be a good time to speak up.

What happened?

I killed the wolf.

{Warded to the entirety of the DMLE}

We have a Muggle girl who has been captured and is currently being tortured and dismembered. Body parts are being sent to one Sirius Black. He has made an official report that his cousin, Bellatrix Black, has made the threat.

We need to trace owls immediately as well as try and pinpoint the location of the girl. Proudfoot and I are on hand to log any and all body parts (coming in on 15 minute intervals) as they arrive.

Girl is missing from Islington. I imagine trying the outlying areas from there and moving out is our best bet.

I can't decide which is worse. The fact that it happened at all... or the fact that I liked it a lot. Thank Merlin for turlenecks...

{Warded to Pepper, Grady, Ted, Sirius, Kingsley, Frank}

Gentleman, I have an incredible favor to ask of you. I am sorry for the late notice, and if you cannot help, I understand.

Alastor's funeral is tomorrow, and I completely forgot about the need for pall bearers. I need six men to arrive early at the church in Godric's Hollow and be a part of the ceremony. You'll be instructed what to do, but I just...

I know some of you may not have known him well, but it would mean the world to me to have people I know either cared about him, or cared about me, to help me.

Please let me know ASAP, I barely have twelve hours to fix this grave error on my part.

{/End Ward}



{Warded to Dedalus}

Dedalus, I was going to ask you to be a pall bearer for the funeral tomorrow... but I think that I need you by my side.

Would you be willing to escort me tomorrow?
