Order Only: Hogwarts Floos CLOSED

[alt_poppy]

This is becoming truly serious.

I do not want anyone going prematurely, but we DO all need to be ready.

Cedric: are you able to tell us anything at all?

There's still the portkey, right? in the trophy room?

How many people can the portkey take, if it has to?

[alt_justin]

Sally-Anne,

I've been thinking about that portkey, what. It belonged to Ellie, didn't it? From before Laszlo's Limited was raided.

I'm not sure we ought to use it. MLE might have redirected it by now.

But I say, does everyone know the route to the newest safehouse?

-Justin

[alt_alice]

Yes. I would avoid the portkey.

Keep in mind there is the passage to the Shack as well.

[alt_sirius]

Either way, you've got to cross the grounds somehow.

Harry, do you have your cloak?

[alt_harry]

Yeah, I have my cloak. But it's not like I can hide everyone in the Order and all the galleon holders under it.

I've been trying to get to the quidditch sheds to nick the brooms there and put them near the front door but I keep getting delayed.

[alt_sirius]

No, but a few at a time, to the tunnel entrance, could be managed.

Use the cloak and get the brooms. I'd put them near the door at the base of the hospital wing stairs, that way if someone can't get to the tunnels there's still a broom nearby.

And be careful. Please.

[alt_harry]

I put three there already but I'll get the rest. Summoning them will be obvious if anyone's looking, though. And carrying them six at a time will be slow.

[alt_rachel]

Do not use that portkey. If you're lucky, it's just been de-activated. If you're not, it'll take you straight into a trap.

[alt_cedric]

One closed, obviously magically silenced door.

Nothing. No word.

[alt_poppy]

Thank you.

[alt_susan]

Bloody hell.

[alt_susan]

Is there another escape route from the infirmary? Pete & Carrie are already on their way to you!

[alt_poppy]

Yes, we'll slip down my stairs. And out through the grounds.

And, look, Mr Marvolo has brought us brooms, so as many as can, may use those.

[alt_susan]

Who else is with you?

[alt_susan]

Besides my sibs I mean.

[alt_harry]

Okay.

Just so you know, I've put three brooms from the broom shed at the bottom of the stairs leading down from the infirmary. And I'm putting three more by the front door. That was all I could carry. I put the rest outside the shed, though, so if you can do a summoning charm you could probably get one to come to you.

Honestly if we have to evacuate we should probably take everyone to the quidditch shed, we'll be a lot faster on brooms than we would be running.
