The Tonks Home

Susan: "But... but what if we're captured and tortured for information?" I asked anxiously.

Lupin: "It's highly unlikely." I looked at kingsley, "As a precaution, we could always use the Tongue-Tying Curse."

Kingsley: "Yes. I think I should be able to cast it so it will only go into effect if a certain word is said, so that if anyone is captured all they have to do is speak the word, and no one will get any information from them," I sighed. "Of course that will have downsides as well,"

Dedalus: "I think it will be well worth the side-effects, Kingsley..." I said taking in the idea. "We will work around them when the time comes. Not everything can be set into a plan."

Kingsley: I nodded. "All right. I suppose there is no alternative. We can't risk the Death Eaters getting any information from us. And it's also best if none of us know every bit of information, in case there is something that goes wrong." I began walking slowly through the room. "As we all know they are ruthless. There are no means that You-Know-Who will not go to, to achieve his ends. We've lost many friends today. I know how difficult it must be for all of us. It's difficult for me as well, believe me." i sighed. "Okay. We need time to mourn. I believe now is a better time than any, we don't know when the next chance will be, and the peace we have after the past two confrontations is not going to last long, so I urge you all to take the time to mourn those who have been lost."

Lupin: I nodded, "We won't have very much time to do that, so we'll need to use our time wisely."

Dedalus: "Yes, Lupin is right, Kingsley. We've already lost so much time just trying to find our heads in this mess. We need to act soon before it's too late."

Kingsley: After a moment of consideration, I nodded. "Then we need to split into groups. I don't think as many people who were originally planning to stay here will be able to. For whom is it most crucial to remain here?"

Lupin: "The youngest need to stay."

Dedalus: "So that would be Gabrielle, Ginny, Disnie, Amber, Hannah, and Susan. And I'm assuming Andromeda will watch over them."

Andromeda: I nodded. "Of course,"

Hannah: "I'm of age. So is Susan." I noted.

Lupin: I nodded, "And you're staying here."

Hannah: "But... I want to do something to help. Not just sitting here. My parents are dead. What do I have to lose?"

Lupin: "Your own life? You could be needed later on. Right now, There's nothing you can do to help on the outside." I looked at Kingsley.

Kingsley: I nodded. "We need everyone, you will be able to help, but at the moment we need to assess the situation."

Hannah: I sighed, and sat down. "Fine."

Lupin: I looked at Hannah, "Thank you."

Hannah: I nodded.

Kingsley: "All right. Those who are leaving need to split into smaller groups, no one travels alone, and if possible, we need to set times for checking in. Another pressing matter is a new headquarters."

Lupin: "Any suggestions for a new headquarters."

Fleur: "Zere is always anozzer country,"

Lupin: "Such as...?"

Fleur: "Somewhere ozzer zan 'ere!" I snapped.

Lupin: I shook my head, "The best place to have it is right under his nose. He's less likely to find it if it is there."

(Oh the irony of mentioning a nose xD)

Kingsley: "Remus is correct. We must stay here, if not only to protect those who remain at the school, or those who are less able to defend themselves otherwise. Perhaps we need to shift the place of the Headquarters, as well as the Secret Keeper, on a regular basis,"

Lupin: "For now, until we are able to find a more permanent location, we should use this house as the main Headquarters, if Andromeda is willing."

Andromeda: I sighed, and nodded after a moment's consideration. "As long as it's temporary,"
