Be Vigilant

( Alastor F. Moody )

Warded to the Order
Said I was going to do this, so here goes. Took the ones I remember - probably missing some. Input and proof is good. I'll update as you tell me more.

Confirmed Death Eaters

Dieter Lestrange
Fenrir Greyback - in league; was seen with them
Murdoch McTavish

So, what else do we know about these people? Who's missing from the list? Rather you mention someone you're unsure of than leave someone off that turns out to be a Death Eater.

Update: (Nov. 4, 1978) Reorganized a bit. New categories. To move from Possible to Probable some sort of proof needs to be given. To move from Probable to Confirmed, we need a sighting in a mask, etc.

Update: (Jan. 2, 1979) Added info from Nutcracker, NYE. Reorganized a bit more.

Update: (Jan. 20, 1979) Added Greyback to confirmed; Added Lestrange info re: Gamp list.

Update: (April 10, 1979) Added McTavish and Jugson to confirmed.

Update: (Apr. 14, 1979) Added Avery to confirmed.

Auror Trainees

Check in and let me know how you're doing. Questions, comments, concerns before your yearly exams? Ask now.

For the record, there isn't now and hasn't ever been a wit-dulling potion in the Ministry's water supply. Trust me, I'd know.

Also for the record, I'll be cancelling my subscription to Witch Weekly based on the absolute tosh it's choosing to publish in order to sell magazines. Anyone who believes the rubbish they're printing needs to have their head checked. Quibbler's got more believable articles these days, in my opinion. Pity they don't have recipes. Might have to subscribe if they did.

DMLE

Don't much appreciate getting Howlers from citizens insisting we investigate Witch Weekly for Death Eater activity.

Should I find out who decided I should get the blasted things, I will hunt you down and hurt you. we will be having a chat.

Crouch, Scrimgeour

Summaries of said Howler are on your desks. The concerned citizen in question seems rather sure that it's the head of St. Mungo's - that Doge woman - who's writing the blasted article.

Aurors

Anybody read Witch Weekly today? Article entitled 'My Life as a Death Eater.' Can't tell if it's rubbish or real. Bit of both, maybe.

And yes, I read it. Good biscuit recipes.

Order

If you can get your hands on a copy, Witch Weekly has an article in it that might be interesting. Happy to lend my copy if you can get it back to me. There's a biscuit recipe I want to try.

Private

Bloody hell

Gideon and Fabian

You're now suspected of being Death Eaters because you've missed work. Didn't both think to quit before you went off on your jaunt? Would still look suspicious, but it'd be easier to explain your absence if you said you were on a world tour to deal with the loss or some such. Now you've no choice but to lay low for the foreseeable future.

If you've told your sister where you're going, tell her to lie when Williamson and/or I come by to ask.

Order

DMLE is considering the fact that the Prewett idiots twins may be Death Eaters. If you're questioned by Williamson and/or I about their whereabouts, lie and say you haven't a clue. You haven't heard from them in a few days. Unless someone mentions the suspicion about their "true" allegiance, don't bring it up.

Williamson

How do you want to split this? We could do the rounds together or we could split the list of the Prewetts' nearest and dearest. Can't say I'd have ever thought they'd be Death Eaters, but it's looking likely. Might want to ask their friends if they've noticed anything, too.

Fabian and Gideon

Alright. Since I informed your sister, no one's going to realize she knew ahead of time. I also "informed" you. You were at McKinnon's, the both of you.

Speculation is that your parents were blood traitors, like the Gamps, and had dinner with their attackers. Robards came up with that and I'm supporting it. Also suggesting kidnapping to explain away the two extra plates. Did anyone see you go into the house?

I'll be doing follow-up and with your parents, no one will expect you at work. Still, heal quickly. I'll be by after shift. Now's not the time to discuss your habit of fleeing when you should just call the DMLE as the injured innocent parties. But we'll have that talk soon enough. Can't have you come forward now because it'll look dodgy as to why you didn't go to St. Mungo's. Besides, think it's best if you both just take a step back from public life. They've gotten too close to you.

And I'm sorry for your loss, boys. You need anything, you know where to find me.

M. McKinnon

The Prewetts were with you at your flat when I informed them of the death of their parents. Understood?

Order minus Prewetts

For the record, if you're attacked by Death Eaters while not on Order business, don't bloody well go to the safehouse. Defend yourselves and once they've gone, call the Aurors. You're the innocent bloody party and have done nothing wrong. Best to get as many attacks on record to show the public. This one's all wishy washy since there wasn't a Dark Mark. Unless you've got something suspicious on your person or are in a suspicious location, don't bloody well hide from the DMLE. Go to St. Mungo's. Death Eaters aren't going to speak up and explain why they attacked you. Their word against ours in those cases. Hiding makes us look dodgy and makes it harder on Frank, Alice and myself.

Speculation is running toward the Gamps being blood traitors or a kidnapping, both of which explain the extra dinner settings. We need the boys healed up post-haste, though I'll be doing all follow up.

Any questions?

Order

It would benefit us greatly if we could stop purposely arsing off the Head of the Aurors. Accusing him of being one of Voldemort's is ridiculous. At the moment, he knows the office doesn't have the time nor the resources to stage a campaign against us. Let's keep it that way.

Minerva

The children That lot of yours are becoming restless. It's unnerving. Pushing forward is all well and good, but this isn't one of them. Scrimgeour nearly turned purple when he got the bloody t-shirt. And they can deny it all they want, but I don't believe it wasn't one of them. Only ones who'd do it without checking with the rest of us. Don't appreciate that at all.

Potter, Pettigrew, Evans, Black, Lupin

Alright, which of you sent Scrimgeour a t-shirt? And more importantly, why?

Aurors minus Trainees

That was fun. Suggest we all do more hand-to-hand training in the future. Can't rely on our wands all the time. Thinking like that gets you eaten.

Trainees

Report in. Things going well? Anything troubling you?

G. Prewett

Alright?

F. Prewett

How is he then?

Order

Nothing new on Crockford.

A. Longbottom, Scrimgeour and I tried capture Greyback. We're alive. So's he. One of his friends isn't.

Anything going on?

Augustus

Fancy a pint sometime? It's been too long.

DMLE

Whoever was responsible for the balloons needs a hexing. In thanks.

Order

Wouldn't have thought this needed to be said, but clearly it is.

What the bloody hell were you lot thinking when you made t-shirts? T-SHIRTS. Are you trying to get more people killed? Might as well have put a target on the damn thing instead of the phoenix. Are you lot thick? Perhaps you were dropped on the head repeatedly as children? That's the only damned reason I can think for you to give the Death Eaters more targets. I thought going out and getting pissed in public this past fall was daft, but this takes the bloody cake!

There are ways of swaying public opinion! This is not one of them, especially when it's done without the consent of us all.

And honestly, THEY GOT JUGS? Only half-wits find that clever! Puns are the lowest form of comedy.

Now who's responsible. Speak up now.

DMLE

Two in as many months. Not bad. Could still do better though. Need to be proactive about this.

Remember: CONSTANT VIGILANCE. You could save more than just your own life.

Proudfoot

Eye's been returned to the Committee. Sorry it saw through your clothes. Asked them to make it so that I can only see who I want to in the altogether because Minerva Maybe you ought to try out the next one.

Good work yesterday. I've time if you want to do it again soon. Think it's good for the both of us.

Scrimgeour

Had my interview with Meliflua. Trust that one as far as I could throw her. She's little but that still wouldn't be very far.

Vance

Do you have to do an interview with someone?

Prewetts

Report in. Doing alright?

E. Avery

I'm sorry for the loss of your father. Let me know if your scheduled return date changes.

The Committee on Experimental Charms has a regrettable sense of humor.

Alice, Frank

If Benedict was, so is Elliot. He'd want his son to follow in his footsteps. Thoughts? Can't tell Scrimgeour, but we need to do something.

Order

Full confession. And he can't describe either of you. He admitted to the Death Eaters having healers, but wouldn't say anything beyond that.

Good job, Podmore and Pettigrew. Pints on me next time.

Scrimgeour

Full confession. Some interesting bits - he confirmed, in a roundabout way, that they've got their own healers.

A. Bones

Transcript of confession of the Death Eater we arrested tonight should be on your desk momentarily.

Ministry

There's a Stunned drum major by the lifts. That damned baton looked like a wand to me. He's accompanied by a marching band, some of which are still in the Atrium. Auror trainees - go escort them all off the premises before they find a way to fit the sousaphone on the lifts.

Order

Now that we've had time to lick our wounds, who did you fight? Any distinguishing characteristics? Will add to our list.

Order

How are we?

Order

Dorcas is dead.
