Extraction and Diversion - all staff are headed to Bum's office. Clear out and return to common rooms as discreetly as possible.

Draco,

I say, wouldn't that be the same as murdering her?

-Justin

[alt_draco]

Plates get dropped all the time.

[alt_terry]

And there are all those stone floors at Hogwarts.

[alt_justin]

True. But seeing as we've been discussing ways to accomplish our goals without furthering the Lord Protector's agenda, perhaps we'd better not drop this one, what?

-Justin

[alt_draco]

Better keep it somewhere safe, then.

Buried in a pile of Dragon dung seems a good option.

[alt_sally_anne]

It would be safe in a nice sack at the bottom of the lake, I bet.

[alt_sally_anne]

Or we could give it as a gift. I can think of someone who'd truly appreciate it and keep it very, very safe for ever and always.

Professor Dolohov.

[alt_pansy]

He would keep it safe.

I say we wait to see what Harry wants to do with it, but it's a thought.

[alt_draco]

I just thought of something.

Bumbridge is a toad in a plate and Raz still hasn't been cleared.

[alt_pansy]

We'll figure it out. I'm sure of it.

Now that she's gone we'll have more time to talk to Cassie and sort out what happened properly.

[alt_sally_anne]

Did she find anything out that she really shouldn't know? Umbridge, I mean.

[alt_draco]

Hermione's wand.

[alt_sally_anne]

Mmm.

She'd better stay in the plate, then.

[alt_susan]

Do we need to make a decision about it tonight?

[alt_neville]

True. The option is there, but better not to take it.

Leaves other options open.
