Order Only Private message to Ron

You're on second wave, yeah?

Here's the thing, I've been talking to Hermione and we both have an inkling that Sirius and Remus are going to try to get into Buckingham and take Bellatrix out by themselves.

A suicide run, more or less, and based on some of the things Sirius has said, he knows that's what it is.

You see Montague's post? Where Sirius is asking how many people are left in Buckingham?

Yeah.

Thing is, I don't think it's something they can be talked out of.

Any ideas?

Nice.

I mean that's just rich after everything else. Mind you, I see what they're thinking.

Yeah, I expect you're right they can't be talked out of it. And I don't really expect they'd be glad if we volunteered to come with. But-

We've got loads of wands going to Penzance, and, yeah, our brooms could be useful there on second wave, but seriously, we've got enough, I think.

What if you and I shadow them to Buckingham? As their second wave. We can apparate into the safehouse I set behind Buckingham in Green Park and access Buckingham from there. I mean, we've got the password, too, yeah?

And if they don't know we're along until it's too late, they can't stop us.

[alt_draco]

Yeah, I was thinking something along the same lines. If we try to openly interfere they'll only try to send us back.

So we've got the password, and we've also got an invisibility cloak. We're too tall to both fit, but you can be your snake-self, yes? And curl around my neck or

Pockets, maybe? Cloak, not trousers.

Never mind, doesn't matter.

[alt_ron]

Or something like that.

Yeah.

The cloak's good. Glad you have it, actually. So do we have any idea when they're going? I'll tell Sue to cover for me, anyway, and meet you down at the gates, maybe? If we're under the cloak, we'll see exactly when they leave.

Unless they're not apparating. Damn. Did they get a Portkey made after all?

[alt_draco]

They won't Apparate. It utterly does Sirius in. Saw it for myself last night.

I don't think portkeys are reliable just yet, especially at that distance.

Maybe we should beat them there. We've got cover, after all.

[alt_ron]

Alright. On my way, then. Meet you at the gates.
