Order Only: What on EARTH?

[alt_molly]

I went out to feed the chickens this morning and I almost stumbled over a sack, sitting on the doorstep. It had the official Ouroborus seal on it, so you can imagine how startled I was! And I detected a charm on it, so that only I could see it. It dissipated as soon as I opened the drawstring.

I opened it, and it was FULL of Galleons! I haven't counted them yet--

Is this some sort of set up, so that I can be accused of theft? I can't deny I opened it, because the charm is gone.

Why in Merlin's name would someone at the Ministry give me a SACK FULL OF GALLEONS?!

Dunno.

I think he may. Or, yeah, he could totally not do anything tonight but marry Crouch off to Daphne. I hope that's it. I mean, what's the hurry on Marking people, right? But then again, why did he bother coming all the way up here right before exams?

None of it's making anybody feel very comfortable.

How's George? Any tingles of the magic yet? I mean, I guess it took Frank half a year or more, didn't it? So I imagine it's getting annoying having people ask. Sorry.

Real glad you're an animagus, Ron. If you get Marked, well, guess you'll have to spend more time hanging out with his Ponciness, but you'll be more in a position to help the Order, anyway.

Know you can't say No, thanks, but I admit George and me can't help but wish the Ponce would put it off for a little while. Maybe we can take him down entirely before it gets to that point. I mean, we're getting close, right? Now that you lot have spotted another Horcrux, and he has to be running out of them. Don't reckon you can break your soul into an infinite number of pieces.

George hasn't felt anything, no. But we haven't given up hope. Anyway, don't ever worry about annoying us by asking. Merlin knows we've annoyed you enough over the years with all our pranks.

I'm glad he's able to help Severus. It really does help keep his spirits up to be able to do something to help, and waking up the Sleepers is huge.

No lie, if I weren't an animagus, I'd've been done for.

They're all certain it's eight Horcruxes. Harry and Draco and Sirius and Snape and all. They've been looking into that, and they're certain that eight is the LP's notion of the perfect number. Immortality sign in its shape and all. The Octoborous wards. All of it.

They're putting a lot on that theory, I know, but Harry's certain they're right about it.

Anywiz. That means we're down to the last one. And we know where it is. Just. No ideas yet how to get it off him. I mean, of course, he'd be wearing the bloody thing.

Well, THAT'S easy. Surprised that you haven't thought of it already, seeing as you've been our brother for so many years and seen so many of our pranks.

You just vanish all his clothing and the bloody thing would fall the ground and then you Accio it to you.

The only problem with that idea is that then you'd all have to see his bloody bits. And he'd probably kill everyone in the school before you could cast the Fiendfyre.
