[Ten] Break-in

[beater-serpens.livejournal.com]

I just ran into Ginny on the Quidditch Pitch. She passed me a note saying that she, Neville, and maybe one or two other members of the DA are going to try to sneak into Snape's office and steal the sword of Gryffindor. She said she wants me to know as more of a backup than anything - if anything happens to them, at least someone will know what happened.

It doesn't sit right with me to just let them go in blind - not when we essentially have the headmaster's office bugged and we can tell when he's usually there or not. I think we should offer to help if we can. What do you think? I'm good at playing lookout.

I'm with you. They'd better have a sound plan, and it had better be worth whatever punishment they're going to get if they get caught. I suppose they think it is, but that doesn't mean they're right.

If their plan is only half-baked, we're either going to have to tell them they ought to abort, or fix it for them. And I'd rather the former than the latter to be completely honest.

I hope Potter's doing something useful out there and he really needs that sword, or I am going to wring his neck and see if he lives through that.

Unfortunately, I don't think they'd listen to us. though I agree with you. Hopefully we're just not giving them enough credit.

He'd better be - though I don't know if the Order has really heard from him. Maybe that's for the best, though...

Is there anybody that Gryffindors ever listen to besides themselves? Seriously. And think we Slytherins are self-absorbed. I really hope they've thought this through more than it seems they have.

If Potter's really gone, I hope he has the sense to stay hidden. If anybody--anybody at all--knows his whereabouts he is in serious danger. Worst of all, I can't help but think this may be an elaborate trap set up by You-Know-Who and Professor Snape and they're falling right into it.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

From what I've learned, not really. I know Ginny's a smart girl, but she's also a little reckless (well, I guess we all are sometimes) so I do hope she's thought this through.

Well, he's seemed to manage that so far. I just hope he hasn't been caught and it's been covered up or something - but I do think the Order would hear something, right?

I think I trust Ginny to have the most sense of those three. Mostly because I've seen how Neville's been acting recently, and if he hasn't already, he's going to end up on the wrong side of a Carrow's wand sooner or later.

Oh dear, it's true...what if Potter has been caught? Why would You-Know-Who bother covering it up, though? It's the only thing that's keeping the Order going. I would think that if I were You-Know-Who, I'd trot him out the moment I got a hold of him, just to take the life out of those who are opposing me. He better still be out there, somewhere. Hermione knows better than to get caught this early, I hope.

He really is being too reckless. I wonder if he'd listen if we tried to talk some sense into him. Ginny does at least seem to be a little more cautious.

Hm... I suppose you're right - it would be a big deal if Potter's been caught, so I guess no news is good news, right? He'd better stay under their radar and come up with a plan soon!
