Order Only

We've one child dead, as Minerva reported. Hannah Abbott. Aged thirteen.

We've one member of staff critically injured. Rabastan Lestrange. Apparently he took a hex meant for his niece.

And we've several who've been traumatised by witnessing murder. Young Miss Lestrange, for one.

Molly, that number may include your Percy, I'm afraid, though I've not examined him. I'm led to believe he's with Minerva, acting his part as Head Boy. He was, unfortunately, in the room with Carrow when it happened, when the chaos erupted. And it was Percy who summoned me. Well, perhaps you saw as much.

Alice, your children are unhurt. Not to say uninvolved, quite. Your son has been here, haunting my waiting room. I gather he was close to Miss Abbott.

That's all I'm able to tell you at this juncture, and I really must return to my tasks.

Thank you for letting me know they were safe, Poppy.

I'm sorry to hear about Percy, Molly. Have you been able to get to school to check on him yet?

[alt_molly]

Oh, Alice.

I just got off a Floo call with Minerva.

That monster killed that poor girl right in front of him.

And Minerva says he...oh, Alice! That Percy tried everything to try to get him to stop. Professor Lestrange came in partway through the fight, but got blasted aside. And Percy used ended up using Imperius. To try to get Carrow back under control. My Percy!

[alt_molly]

I simply cannot stop crying.

[alt_alice]

How terrible.

How absolutely terrified he must have been.

I'm glad he wasn't harmed. Given what happened to Lestrange, and the girl, it seems like that could've been a real possibility.

And he kept that awful man from hurting other people. Can you imagine him rampaging through the halls of the school?

It was Carrow, then.

Merlin, what a waste. After all the warnings and protests that he was still there, this happens.

Hope you and Minerva weather the storm. And Pomona, too? I gather the girl was in her House. What a dreadful thing. Give Pomona our sincere sympathies.

should've killed the son of a bitch when I had the chance.

damn.

That's hard, my friend. When one gets away, and you kick yourself when he then goes on and hurts someone else.
