Order Only: Percy's flat

[alt_bill]

We've received an owl from his landlord. His lease was up because he was planning to move anyway. The bloke is giving us a few days extension, given the circumstances. I'm planning to go there late this afternoon to start the clearing out. Magic makes the job easy, at least.

Dunno what we'll do with it all. I guess I'll miniaturise things and keep them in the shed at the Burrow until we decide.

...

I'd welcome some company. Mum doesn't want to go, and the twins are keeping the store open tonight for the festivities planned for Marvolo's birthday. Ron, will you be on duty late tonight? Ginny, Charlie, let me know, too.

Anyone else?

I've got deliveries this afternoon, but I should be done by half-five.

More wands, lighter work, yeah?

[alt_pansy]

I can stop by for a few hours before the party.

I'll come, Bill. Happy to do whatever's needed.

Er, yeah. I'm working all afternoon and tonight. Sorry.

I never realised how much work it takes to make sure Freedom Day doesn't go pear shaped in some major way. MLE have been working on this for weeks, really, making sure the area's cleared of threats of any conceivable sort. That's what the whole business with the train tunnels and underground places was all about.

Oh, speaking of that. I just heard they did get some really important breaks as a result of that. I mean, you read in the papers about the raid on that farm that was growing fluxweed. You can bet that got MLE's attention. They really do stamp that out whenever they find any. They're super anxious to keep anyone but them (and Mysteries) from being able to brew Polyjuice. I didn't know how mad illegal it is. I mean, who cares that the Order steal Muggleborn kids out the camps, give them wands, and teach them magic? The big crime is growing fluxweed!

Anywiz. They also caught a bunch people hiding down in the old underground and a stockpile of stuff that could've been used for explosives. They're keeping that really quiet because they aren't sure which group's behind it, and it doesn't seem like they maybe arrested anyone that was involved with the explosives. Or maybe they did and I just don't have the straight story. It's not like they sent a memo round on that.

Actually, I heard it from Catchlove, and I'm partnered with him again today. (Well, not partnered, exactly, but I'm his extra pair of eyes and ears and we're in a detail with three enforcers.)

So, yeah, everything's going well for now, but we're out here watching in case anything happens. I'll see if I can't get Catchlove talking again if it stays slow.
