Order Only

I just had an owl drop a letter on my head here in bed.

It was signed by Virgil Crispin, damn him, and it's a very official-looking document informing me that due to 'traitorous actions against the Protectorate on premises,' the Hope Emporium and all of its contents have been seized and my licence for doing business has been revoked.

I presume the twins will receive the same.

Oh, bugger. Bugger, bugger, bugger.

These can't be the only letters Crispin sent out.

Sirius, if we could get a list, it could be a basis for another Grim Truth? If it includes any other parents of children at the school, it's another chance to point out that the old regime lied when it called itself a 'Protectorate.'

First they murder our children, and then they destroy their mourning families' livelihoods.

And it's another thing to point out to the Hogwarts Board of Governors.

I think switching from 'they killed schoolchildren' to 'and also they confiscated our property' would make us look cold-hearted, like we think these things are comparable.

As it stands, we're launching a revolution. Thousands of people are going to lose their livelihoods. Hopefully when we're done we'll have an omelet.

You're right.

We do need more voices, though. Speaking up to support the changes we're going to introduce, That we hope to introduce.

Coming up with better arguments than I can muster with only three bloody hours of sleep under my belt.
