*They have put up tents half a mile from a werewolf camp. It's probably the most idiotic thing Fabian has done in years, which is truly saying something, but Alice was right - all they can do is use this opportunity to try and get to the bottom of things for the Order, even if the Ministry is barking up a seriously wrong, cannibalistic tree. Greyback's folks are a problem either way. Fabian isn't happy about being here - there'd been another uncharacteristically serious conversation with Gideon this morning, and a goodbye that'd hedged on a little too final - but if they're here, they're here. He's going to do a good job of this even if Umbridge is a sadistic cow.

So. They're going to make this work. He's left Sirius and Alice to finish setting up camp while he goes to get water from the nearby river, which he's just now coming back with. They're a few miles from the village of Halkirk, but if they can stay out of the Muggles' notice, that'd be best all around. They've got a few hours left to nightfall and, Fabian's hoping, they can maybe get some poking around done before dark. As he re-appears up the hill levitating about five buckets of water with him, he flashes the pair of them a smile that's nearly up to his usual standards.*

Everything coming together alright?

*Alice is walking faster now, a little ahead of the men. She looks over her shoulder, eyebrow cocked and smile widening.*

Then let them eat cake.

*Sirius' head just catches the nod, and he barely acknowledges it, looking further. He could have sworn he heard something rustling, out there, somewhere in the brush, but it's probably just a rabbit. Or a deer.

Or a werewolf.*

--Did you hear that?

*Alice doesn't stop, she doesn't want to make it look to obvious if there is someone out there. She gets her wand at the ready under the cloak, treading more softly.*

*Sirius keeps walking, treading carefully, and finally shakes his head.*

It's probably nothing.

Not sluggish at all. Snappish. Hyper-aware, kind of, like you are when you're annoyed and hungry but not tired.

*Or, at least, Remus is, and that's why Fabian is asking anyway.*

They get sluggish after the moon, not so much before. But it takes everyone different, so I can't say for sure.

Maybe next time we can invite her along to join the party.

Oh, you know she'd just spoil the fun. I would bet five Galleons she was the kid who cried at other children's birthday parties because she wasn't getting all the attention.

You mean the most pure and honourable house of Black?

You forgot noble. They like to stick noble in there too.

*Alice laughs and puts her arm around Fabian.*

That, and I actually did bring cake.

You did no such thing.

You're brilliant. Not already full of serum, I hope?

I'll never tell.

At least, not until after we've started eating it.

Then it'll have to be Sirius.

Eh. I don't think there's much to get out of me.

*Except Remus, and about the deal with Bella, and--*

Besides, you give me a slice and I'll take the rest, and we'll need the rest to feed to them, if it comes to that.

Domestic bribery turned to weaponry. My, how I have grown.

*Alice follows Fabian, her eyes taking in any clues she can find.

At the centre is the firepit, with some still-burning embers. Alice squats, not looking down but instead using her hand to feel the heat. People have been here, but it's been at least an hour since someone was using this fire.

Alice jumps up, looking from tent to tent. The hair on the back of her neck is rising - she could swear someone is watching.*
