Hit a squad of Auror goons just as we broke camp. Sandoval was there. And Montague's older brother. There were loads of them, and they had us surrounded.
They got Pansy and Finnigan. So we're down numbers.
Good news: Malfoy and I are loads better this morning. Bad news: they've been gone since 7:00, and if they've fought their way loose, they haven't made it back to us yet. So I guess they're well and truly caught.
We're not making much forward progress now: we think we must be getting closer to destination because we're spending so much more time detecting and clear-triggering traps. Landscape's thick with them.
How are your lot holding up?

We're clear now, but you know how I thought we'd surely get some resistance if we got close?
Sometimes I hate when I'm right.
Oh, and it's not just trainees out there. Auror Crouch is here. And some others. Some bloke called Mort? With a wicked stinger--he can make it hook around things like trees or boulders. Crouch is using this hex that punches all the air out of you--a concussive hex of some kind. He caught Draco bang in the chest.
In the end, our only choice was Apparating back to the spot where we
stopped for lunch. Everyone knew where it was, and it's got good cover while we pull ourselves back together. Didn't lose anyone, though.
