For one hundred years, nothing grows in the patch of Forest where BARTY CROUCH, JR's remains were strewn. Unicorns avoid the spot. Thestrals cluster there.

Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortális, miserére nobis.
Agios o Theos, Agios ischyros, Agios athanatos, eleison imas.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy-
Sviatyi Bozhe, Sviatyi Krepkyi, Sviatyi Bezsmertnyi, pomilui nas.

Blessed are your gods, Batya, now and forever and to the ages of ages.

Rowle confirmed intel re. movement into Ipswich 289. Estimate 3,500 arrivals.

So it's Go for tonight.

Protectorate Defence contributing three units. (Reserving the rest for NL or resupply, should circumstances warrant.) Rowle to hold his orders close until T-30.

Re. last night. Penderyn's debrief of relevant personnel confirms our assessment. Phoenixes arrived shortly behind us. Suggests mole is in a unit, not leading one. Still. Travers taking point on that.

All MLE units remain on Protocol 17 for duration of Freedom festival (@ which, nothing to report). All units ready for short notice call-out. Braithewaite will issue Ips orders to our units @ T-30.

Will go personally to alert Rod. Said they'd be Thameside this afternoon.

Bella. All unit leaders stand ready to issue orders at sunset. (9:09 pm, target site)

Tosha and I will be in position @ Ips 394.2 and Ips 393.8 to direct arriving units.
alt_crouch_jr: (Alert)
Batya: Just home. See you're not yet.

Productive day out there?
alt_crouch_jr: (Amused)
Am coming home early.

Bringing take-away curries. Ale in bottles.


Dust off the chessboard, Dedushka. We're staying in for the evening.
alt_crouch_jr: (Intent)
Know I said I'd be home tonight, but I'm wound tight. Am going to make the rounds of our 'friends'. Check their wards.

Want to be sure of them.

Don't wait up.

Unless you're up anyway and want to come with.

If I'd had any expectations of what would happen after His removal--and to be honest, I had no expectation it could ever be brought about, so I had no expectations for this eventuality--but if I had, they would have been disappointed by what has followed and continues to unravel day to day now.

Because it is unraveling. A bit shorn off here. A bit shaved away there. And order unspools with each loss.

And yes, we make them pay daily for their incursions, but we need to find a strategy to stun and then destroy them absolutely. Each gain of theirs has the bonus of undermining confidence in Rowle and Bella's leadership, and in our ability to protect and enforce. Our wins gain only the territory or infrastructure at stake, but fail to re-secure the goodwill and loyalty of the people.

I know you've always seen that we cannot win this through terror and force, but we know nothing else. Our rule's been built on that, and there's no time and no sufficient means for changing that.

It's not that Bella is failing. In fact, she has shown remarkable talent for orchestrating and creating and communicating vision. Authority is her métier.

And MLE is more cohesive than it's ever been.

But that's not enough.


Hope your project is going well. Or at the very least that it's proving enjoyable.

Contracted with Ashton-Scripps to collect corpse. Understand Pelton has it now. Expect a report soon. Obv no real reason to doubt id.

Have Corbyn in my office now. Reconstructing what's known of D's movements yesterday (and prior).

You're welcome to join in if you've time. Otherwise, suggest we meet at noon.


Batya. Open to any new thoughts you may have re. eradicating the French pox.

Managed to catch up with Tosha. Quite willing to set aside other things for this project. Diminishing returns on his other work--I'd say a break from that is in order, at the least. Can attest that it's making him pensive. (I'd say 'morose', but know he'd deny that.)

In any case, he perked up at the thought of this opportunity. Believe you'll hear from him or see him there soon.


Continuing to give thought to Brodie's fox. 28 May. 4 June. 8 July.
alt_crouch_jr: (Angry)
Buckingham. Now.


Boyle. Wait for Pelton to collect the corpse.

Bring physical evidence with you.
alt_crouch_jr: (Smirks)
Batya.

Not sure what your tasks are today, but have just seized a property that will interest you. Floo: Crosby Hall, Chelsea.

Had no idea Moran was a collector. (Has risen considerably in estimation as a person of interest this morning. Sure he's less keen on that score than we.)

Books. A wing full of them. Bring containment cases. You're welcome to all you want.

Imagine the search will demand at least a day. Suggest we summon the elves to cook for us here: his larder's rich in things that've gone short elsewhere. We could make an evening of it. You owe me a rematch at gobstones, anyway, and that would be more entertaining on his terrace, watching the boat races on the river.

Trouble at Snowdonia. Overnight. Phoenix.

Have one of the maintenance staff here. Doesn't know much. There was an attack. Heavy fighting, but over quickly. Have a call in to Penderyn to have a look.

Mord: Ips 490. Now.
alt_crouch_jr: (Calculates)
Finished your 'visits' yet?

Next of kin secured?

Want that leverage.

Thought I was going to have more for you, but the last pair have reported now.
alt_crouch_jr: (Service Photo)
Unit report overdue.

Check in.

Now, unless you're in a firefight.
alt_crouch_jr: (AK)
Protocol FF999. (Alert: possible ambush.)

Ips 47.

Now.
alt_crouch_jr: (Barty)
Updates:
    * Op. Restoration proceeding well. Have personnel in the villages seeing to it that curfew observed, peace kept, eyesores repaired or replaced, distractions eliminated, difficult memories altered or eased.
              ** Penderyn, Voire, and O'Clare are proving useful in identifying which of the local watchers have made themselves obnoxious enough to pay dividends when we relieve the locals of their presence.
              ** Need Runge to see the Prophet gives more attention to this
    * Op. Perpetual Rest continues. Catterick cleared last night. White Lund and Basildon underway.
    * Core Assets: security enhancements implemented as discussed. Now embarking on extended list.
    * Travers, Braithewaite, Chambers and Knox report only minor hits as yet (major targets keeping their noses below the parapets so far). Have informants and snipers deployed at primary locations. Grts, Hgsm, St M, perimeter of null zone.
    * International on alert.

At first opportunity, need to discuss:
    * Aix2
    * Portkeys (default broken, abnormalities)
alt_crouch_jr: (Really?)
Keeping up your training?


You'll need to be sharp.
alt_crouch_jr: (Direct)
Address damage reports to me. Will reproduce them here to collect/disseminate information.

    * Triumphal Arch, Protector's Park, NL. Fallen to rubble.
    * Protector's Viaduct, Cumbria. Ditto.
    * OL's New Span, Edinburgh. Ditto.
     
     
    * Protector's Pavillion, Puddlemere United Quidditch Grounds. Significant damage.

    * Visitor's Centre, Leeds Battleground Memorial. Structural failure.
    * Protector's Pier and Arcade, Fleetwood. Ditto.
    * Cardiff Castle Pleasure Grounds, Memorial Wall. Vanished.
     
     


Other reports:

    * Stornoway--dragons rampaging; inspectors dispatched
    * Greenwich--successive lightning strikes
alt_crouch_jr: (Ouch)
Batya.

Check in.

Cottesmore's secure, but you're not there.

Eton, still?


Avoid Hwarts!

FYI private messages secure.
alt_crouch_jr: (Explain Yourself)
How is it that you have always disappeared by the time I fight through to your location? Have the feeling you're avoiding me.
alt_crouch_jr: (Dammit)
Truncheon: hospital wing. Search and secure.

Travers: great hall.

Braithewaite: library.

Catchlove: secure kitchens. Search for vermin.

Evan, Painter: dungeons. scour them.

S-P: G Tower secure? Check in.

X G: Check in.
alt_crouch_jr: (Default)
Where do you need us?

Have Travers, Painter, Gupta, Braithewaite with me.
alt_crouch_jr: (Service Photo)
Davies.

Saw your signal. Check in.

Gupta, Painter. Go after D. North-west quadrant.

Ipswich 702 quiet now. Following up next on report of fire at Camp 8.

Do either of you need back up? Fresh enforcers? Updated list of hot areas?
alt_crouch_jr: (Default)
To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:

You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it -
embrace it.

Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.

Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.


Report as soon as you are able. OL expects briefing.
alt_crouch_jr: (Direct)
Just left Bham.

OL exceedingly displeased at certain public displays in the journals. He is most interested to hear what reaction has been there amongst students and staff. Naturally you're watching for signs of sedition. Any reports along these lines should be made to OL via Broome or myself.

Would be particularly unfortunate if there were any defiant acts at this juncture. (Vandalism, e.g.) Given the resourcefulness of the young, do not entirely trust the enforcers to have eliminated all opportunity for such acts.

Believe it possible that I may be sent there as early as tomorrow. Need I say that you ought hope otherwise?
alt_crouch_jr: (Profile)
Narcissa,

Had imagined there would be time to see you before I changed my position in life, but things have not gone to plan in that regard.

Our Lord has declared that tonight is a fine night for a wedding.

Sure it will prove so. And yet, this day lacks something of its promise for missing you.
alt_crouch_jr: (Direct)
Have to cancel for tonight. OL's decided he will do the honours and wed me to Daphne after supper.

First act of tonight's entertainment, I suppose.

Uncertain whether He'll see fit to invite the Council or whether it will be merely the school witnessing our binding. At any rate, hope I'm the first to deliver my own news.

Apologies re. Pseudonymity. Expect we'll need to delay Snowdonia as well. Bad form to leave one's bride on the second weekend.
alt_crouch_jr: (Eyes You)
Sorry to have missed saying goodnight. Have got used to that.

Interesting debriefing with OL, however. Believe He was reasonably impressed with some of what He saw today. At any rate, He's not grown bored with the project of examining the best of Hogwarts' current crop.

Is, predictably, holding His judgments close, but He favoured me with a compliment in regard to you:
"I believe you've chosen well."
Unequivocal approbation. And quite personal. Neither are hallmarks of His.

You've captured His attention. And I believe you amused Him with your imaginative strategy for dominating your opponent. Shouldn't like to be Crabbe, Sr when He reports how entertaining his son's failure was.

In any case, darling, you were a stunning success. I hope you're already asleep and dreaming pleasant things.
alt_crouch_jr: (Eyes You)
Have been thinking of you all day. How completely delightful you are.

Supper again tonight?
alt_crouch_jr: (Glares)
Go clear the salle for us. Will be there by 8.

Suggest you warm up.
alt_crouch_jr: (Picture of Sanity)
Am home. All well.

Our Lord is most pleased with the prizes returned in this latest foray.

Plan to sleep, but will come to Hogwarts this evening.
alt_crouch_jr: (Default)
I'm for Leics 587 tonight. Very credible informant. More than usually so.

Fancy a bit of a hunt? Bring your pack, if you like. Assuming they're willing to play with mine.

Should be plenty of sport for all.
alt_crouch_jr: (Huh)
Batya.

Just at Bhm. OL's in a gracious mood. Didn't even wait for me to raise the question.

Don't intend to let the approval go stale.

Believe I'll go now for a conversation with the Gs. Trust they'll be amenable. Or will see reason without too much argument.
alt_crouch_jr: (Really?)
Thought I'd come up for supper. Believe Tosha would lend his private sitting room, and I assume the elves will accommodate us.

And I understand the meteor showers should be spectacular tonight. Perhaps we could find an out of the way bit of rooftop to view them from.

I'll have to leave by half-two, regrettably, but until then maybe the Head Girl can defy curfew?
alt_crouch_jr: (AK)
Need wands.

Leic934

Fidelius, but like Saltash. The place disappeared. Pawns inside are unresponsive. Cannot bring them out. Have half a file outside and six aurors. No response from Calder, Forest and Wunsch since the F went up.

Still fighting the perimeter. Need to clear it and set siege.
alt_crouch_jr: (Service Photo)
Get your kit. Meet me at NL72 asap.

Unless you're too tired after the day's first work.

Can't predict what time we'll finish.
alt_crouch_jr: (Sees)
Not likely to be home until very late.
