ORDER ONLY: Indisposition

Last night, as the chaos broke loose, I was unfortunately indisposed. The situation was well in hand by the time I was capable of doing anything to alter it.
This morning, as one might expect, my time has been entirely taken up by the aftermath.
It is hoping for too much to suppose that Lucius Malfoy might be removed from the Hogwarts board of governors. I almost think it is hoping too much that Amycus Carrow be removed. However, I shall try - and try, and try. I have an audience with the Lord Protector this evening. I believe, too, that now that he has seen the Carrows' insanity first hand, Malfoy might finally come round to actually supporting my position. Previously, he gave it lip service (as Poppy has noted) without ever actually taking the matter to the Lord Protector.
I am somewhat grateful to Alecto for her display of temper. Without it, we should never be able to prise the Carrows out.

Seriously, though, Minerva, I would keep a portkey ready for the boy. Obviously, you can't give it to him at this point without raising questions in his mind that you're not prepared to answer. But have it ready.

I can't see him just shrugging his shoulders and accepting it if Minerva shows him a piece of parchment saying he's no longer legal owner. And if we port him away, how would Minerva explain his disappearance? Carrow's had plenty of opportunities over the years to obtain a sample of the boy's blood, and Merlin knows he's a specialist in the sorts of dark spells that could be used to track him. For that reason, I don't think it'd be safe to take him to Moddey Dhoo. Not as long as Carrow's alive, anyway.
