Order Only
Dec. 28th, 2014 03:05 pmAll right. So our lot's got to Buckingham. I reckon it's a couple or three miles from the Tower to here. Midgen sounded like she thought she was going to die before we'd got past the Ministry. And just now when they told us to walk back up the Mall to some stands they've saved for our group, Bulstrode looked ready to smack someone.
Anywiz, they're all headed off to sit down, and I'm supposed to do crowd duty in St James park. That's where I'm starting, anyway.

Did you see the captives? In bloody chains.

At least you've all got iron-clad alibis.

Date: 2014-12-28 10:46 pm (UTC)I'm not sure where they've taken the prisoners off to. I can't see them any more, but the Inferi are still marching up the Mall.
There were werewolves. I thought there were a lot of them, but that was before. And some goblins and centaurs. And some others I'm guessing were vampires, but I'm not entirely sure. A pair of veela. I didn't know there were any in the Protectorate. Maybe Voldemort keeps them as pets?
And I told you about the troll and the giants.
The werewolves, though. They looked like they were half-transformed. I really wouldn't want to meet one of those in a dark alley. Or a street in the daytime, either.

Date: 2014-12-29 01:06 am (UTC)Only, they were all under a compulsion that had all the prisoners marching in perfect step. So they all looked completely blank, y'know?
I think all the students got sent inside the arena. So you know. And if I had to guess, I'd wager they'll have another look at Moody before it's over. Judging by what we're seeing on the projection screens out here.
I'm still out in the grounds on crowd control, and I'm not exactly begging to get sent inside. If you take my meaning.

Private Message to Mrs Longbottom
Date: 2014-12-29 02:12 am (UTC)They were out on the bridge, the people we caught. One of them fell in the water while I was detaining him. I'd pinned his arms with a limb locker, and then Crick hit him with Crucio and he went under the railing. We got him out, but I don't know if he was all right or not. Fenton and Crick took them away.
And Desai's sending me inside now, to help watch things in there.

Bloody horrifying.

I keep feeling certain that I'll be sick. The smell and sight of it all is so ghastly. I hope I'm doing a convincing job of looking suitably impressed, instead.
I sort of am - in all the wrong ways, I mean.
How did we ever, ever let this happen?

I'm not well sure how soon or what sort of opponent I shall face, what. But if it's someone we knew, I shall put them out of misery as jolly well quick as can be.
