Order Only Private Message to C Wright, A Longbottom, and R Lupin

Am holding to my orders for Hyde Park/Bham backup. Leaving in :05 unless I hear differently.


Will be in and out of transformation, I guess, so I can check for notificio.

Jason Montague says his contact reports the whole lot of them, from Bellatrix on down, are going to try to make a break for it tonight through Penzance.

We're thinking we'll send all available wands to Penzance. Stop them there. This is a strategic nightmare, though, since they know we know they might try it (though they don't know we know they're going to). They'll come ready for a fight.

Come to Campanella's office when you get back to the castle, we're trying to figure out how to make this work.

On my way.

Sorry. Just-

We're sure about that intel?

Because you're right: they know we know they might, and they know we might bury our dead. What if they send some decoy units out to Cornwall, draw our units there, and then mount an assault on Hogwarts while we're doing funeral rites for Justin? Or later than that, maybe--just after we send the rest of our units west. They might think we'll be leaving Alice and other command and coordination behind. Target rich. Defence poor.

Needed to tell Sally Anne where I am, but on my way up now.

I can see that as a possible strategy if their goal long-term were to re-take the Protectorate. The numbers are decidedly not in their favour, however.

We might see what we can do in terms of security here, on the off-chance she attempts a strike, though.
