Order Only: Yaxley

[alt_bill]

Yaxley's dead.

Percy was abruptly called to the office at close to 11:00 pm last night by Lucius Malfoy with the news and has been there through the entire night. He just stopped by here at the Burrow to give me the news before heading home for a shower and going back in. No one's answering any questions about how Yaxley died; when Percy inquired, Lucius looked so thunderous that Percy didn't dare press.

Bloody hell, Minerva, do you know what's going on?

It was the Lord Protector.

Yaxley must have come to him in a towering rage, because when we were summoned he (Yaxley, that is) was Petrified mid-shout, spittle flying.

He (the Lord Protector, that is) began to speak about something—I must admit I did not listen very closely, as it had nothing at all to do with the Petrified person in our midst. After a few minutes he stopped. Then he killed Yaxley. Then he dismissed the meeting—rather, he left, and we were left with a body and no further explanations.

It was not his most coherent evening.

Percy was wrong; I've just heard.

Voldemort's named Cadmus Mulciber instead.
