chamberofsnogsWho: Ora Yang, Alison Mallory, Lysienne Aldrern, Kahvi Sidhe
Where: Hogsmeade Village
When: A Saturday in late November
What: The last Hogsmeade trip of the school year--Dean Thomas makes a run for it and Khavi joins the rest of the girls of the Chamber of Snogs
Ora didn't like the way they were all ushered to Hogsmeade as if they were a flock of sheep, or worse, a group of suspicious children liable to get lost or stir up trouble at the drop of a hat. That latter bit Ora was quite sure of, but it simply wouldn't do to have the Carrows barking rules at them. This was supposed to be a Hogsmeade trip, and wasn't it supposed to be fun? Walking in file with the rest of the Slytherins, Ora shot Alison an exasperated look. Trust the Carrows to be the ones to turn something good into something unbearable. Pansy walked beside the students, as Head Girl she was responsible for keeping order amongst the students and reporting directly to the Carrows. She shot Ora an imperious look as the group of Slytherins passed her, and Ora did her best not to slap Pansy across the face. She barely managed to contain herself, her fingers curling angrily in a fist at her side. She was never going to forgive Pansy for giving that "those who get detentions deserve what they get" speech she'd given at the beginning of Dark Arts the first day the Carrows had dragged Neville, Luna, and Ginny to be made an example of.
The students managed to make it into Hogsmeade with little trouble, being that the Gryffindors were trying to cooperate somewhat, though the absence of Neville and Ginny from their group made them a somewhat silent, if not less sullen lot. Ora felt bad for them, it was difficult enough for them to have Potter, Granger, and Weasley gone, and being branded as the new social outcasts of the school was hardly easy to deal with. Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan walked a little apart from the rest of their House, the only Gryffindor boys their year in the group.
Ora noted as she and Alison split off from the rest of the Slytherins once they entered town that all the main streets and intersections had at least some prefect watching it, especially any street that led outside of town. The street from whence they came, leading back to Hogwarts was ostensibly left unguarded.
"It's nice to know there's only one way out," Ora muttered to Alison sarcastically. They plodded slowly on their way to the Hog's Head, ostensibly swinging by Scrivenshaft's first to purchase some more rolls of parchment and some new quills to avoid suspicion.
"All right," Ora said after they had their merchandise bagged up. Ora tucked her things in a bag she had slung around her shoulder. "I'll feel better once I get that information to Fred and George," she said quietly to Alison, who nodded. Hidden deep in Ora's bag was a list of all of the known places the Ministry of Magic was holding Muggle-born wizards and witches for interrogation, and at the top of the list was Azkaban. That made feel Ora feel a little better. Azkaban meant those Muggle-borns might still be alive. Well, most of them anyway.
Looking over their shoulders, the girls headed down the small, deserted path to the Hog's Head, where they would be able to meet up with Fred and George, at least for a short period of time.

Date: 2007-12-16 02:48 am (UTC)Fred leaned over, taking the parchment from Ora and discreetly unrolling it enough to glance at the first few lines before handing it to his brother; both of them nodded their thanks to Ora. "Thanks," George added aloud, as he put the parchment safely in one pocket. "This will help out a lot, you know." Alison and Ora nodded. The twins knew better than to mention where Ora had gotten the information, but the looks they gave Ora indicated that they grudgingly conveyed their thanks to him, as well.
"I just wish we had something better to give you," Alison finally murmured; Christmas was looking rather bleak this year, really - she knew her father wanted to see her, but she was worried for his safety. Not that staying with the Weasleys would be a much better idea, as they were a part of the Order and while she might feel safer with them, it might not be a good idea. She sighed, frowning, wishing the circumstances were different - anything had to be better than this. But she and Ora were helping out, doing something, and that felt much better than doing nothing.
A foot nudged hers again and the frown lessened a bit; after all, if the twins weren't letting this get to them, why should she? Everyone knew things were bad, but caving in the face of the opposition only let the other side win. And no one was about to do that. "Your sister's all right, by the way," she put in, nudging back with one toe. "The Carrows aren't kind with detention, but you know Ginny. It won't get to her."
Fred and George nodded, grinning at that news, at least - Alison knew they were worried about Ginny, but she was stronger than the Carrows, even if not in brute strength, there were other, more important sources of strength. She and Neville and Luna were holding up rather admirably, even if their plan had been... a little less than the best. "She'll be all right," George said, though the tone beneath his voice said he'd rather be making sure of that personally.
[OOC: Were Fred and George going to help us come up with the idea of the Death Eater Map, BTW? My memory is failing me on that one. D:]
