Order Only: Private Message to Draco and Hermione (and Sirius)

[alt_ron]

Let me know if you see this, yeah?

Are you still here?

Sirius and I are just beyond the perimeter. Disillusioned. The werewolves haven't spotted either of us. Sirius is on the south side, where there's a stone out of that retaining wall. I'm up the biggest of the oak trees. Just high enough.

We've got line-of-sight on Mr Dumbledore. Plan is to take him out. Spells from both directions on my signal. If you're here and can take a third line, that would be ace. The more directions we can get them looking, the better chance we can split, right?

We'll wait to hear from you.

Signal will be obvious.

I can shoot but Draco's going to have to put the omnioculars away to fire, and anyway we're on the same broom.

Maybe I'll shoot and he can fly us away at speed.

We're aiming for Mr Dumbledore and not Bellatrix?

[alt_ron]

Mr Dumbledore. Point is to put him out of his misery. That's a horrible way to die, that curse is.

Mind you, if your aim goes wide, make sure it skews to her side.


And, yeah. Then fly for your lives.

Don't worry about us.

Meet back at Grimmauld.

Oh, I might be able to get off two shots.

But you should not take that chance. Aberforth's as good as dead; the only thing we can do is rob Bella of the horrifyingly painful end she devised for him.

I wish we could do more but with everyone else's focus (appropriately) elsewhere, there's just no sense in trying to take them all on. We'd never get everyone out. But if we can get them looking for us, maybe some of the villagers will escape on their own.
