Patronus to all Order members

Public response is deafeningly positive. The entire country's either mad enough or desperate enough to take the Prophet's phony slant of everything being for our protection and not question anything they print. Registration will cost us every lead we've found and every suspect who has the means to get around this, and believe me when I say that's most every one of them. These Death Eater's have probably been using Dark magic most of their lives, nothing Barty or the morons in the courts do will change that.

This is a political blockade, pure and simple, against anyone wanting to defend themselves and anyone other than the Ministry who might take matters into their own hands when the job's left undone and shoddy. We can't fight, we can't defend, can't get word out or even escape in an incident, and all surveillance will be at a halt.

In a crisis most civilians would kill their pets if the law even hinted it would protect them. If we tolerate this, so will they, and Barty will keep playing his game of catch-up while those people die. If you do it and you're questioned, no word of any of the rest of us. It's time.

But that's fine, it makes it that much harder for them to pin anything to me - what's a few broken dishes while I'm getting used to it?

*Grinning now, he leaves the record on the floor and crosses to kiss Sirius briefly, but soundly, in thanks.*

Oh, you're brilliant. We should've thought of that months ago. And you? I suppose you're just - not going to do it, full stop, then?

Well, your regular Trace is just on you, but tracing just the wands makes it much easier to get around. I suppose I'll just have to make enough fuss for the both of us, yeah?

Oh. Please do.

*He sits by him, tucked back into the corner of the couch, watching him. He's still smiling, but there's a more thoughtful cast to it now.*

Really, though, what do you think the Department will do? It can't just be you and Moody who are refusing, among the Aurors.

Hm. Dunno. I don't hear any consequences in this mess yet, so who knows. I can't imagine the Death Eaters are too happy about it either, though. So that's helpful, I guess.

Well. We'll manage, whatever Scrimgeour does. I'm with you.
