ORDER ONLY: Children

[alt_mcgonagall]

We have a situation with regards to infants.

Lucius Malfoy had not asked for the book in ages. I didn't look at it. He asked me to view it after the next Governors' meeting, and I looked at it. There are six new names.

Baby Lee, Hampshire (Not named yet, apparently. Extremely unhelpful. Not even sex indicated.)
Honour Miliband, Kent
Robert Pigott, Lincolnshire
Michelle O'Neill, Devon
Bellatrix Peploe, Essex (One wonders about her parents - I suppose we will find out.)
William Somerville, also Devon.

I have no earthly idea how long they have been there - since last time I checked, some of them, perhaps.

I hid them all. Then I thought better of it: we can hardly save them all by the meeting-time, when Lucius sees the book, and if we fail to save one, they'll know I've falsified the book when the child begins to manifest their powers.

Merlin. A pretty puzzle.

Stephen has been told, and is assessing how much polyjuice we have at Moddey Dhoo, as well as starting a new batch in case we run low.

I regret now that when Pomona and I travelled south last month, we delivered some of our latest batch to Remus. We were supposing that Sirius would be headed there soon.

Nonetheless, we have some on the shelf here, and Pomona volunteers that she could deliver it wherever it's wanted.

Good, Poppy. At this point we aren't in crisis, but it does take a while to brew, so if we do run low before the next batch is ready, we will let you know.

I was there for a brief visit, Poppy, and restocked myself.

And I can leave tonight if necessary.

[alt_alice]

Easy, love. We can't do much right this minute. Once we have the paperwork, though, be prepared for all speed ahead.

No, I don't mean that I've already got two paws out the door, Allie. Just that I'm ready whenever Bill is.

Well, good then!
