Order Only: Craig and Edna
Nov. 5th, 2014 12:14 pmI thought you'd all like to know that Edna Parsons and Craig Cantrell were picked up by the Sherwood band on Monday night.
They'd been camping in the forest for nearly a week. Ms Parsons had a go-bag ready and she said she'd read the papers on the 3rd and suspected she had to run. She was just waiting for the anti-apparation wards that MLE had put over the area to be lifted. Before she could leave, though, Craig showed up.
He'd cared about Ellie, you know. He also read the papers--well, I mean, he said Mr Parritt likes to have his paper brought to him at breakfast, and since Craig puts together their meals and sets their table, he likes to read the paper quickly ahead of time. That way if there's anything that will upset the family, he's prepared.
So he saw that Doughty Conduit had been raided and he read about the arrests. And when it said that the Ponds' muggleborn had been among the casualties, he said something 'snapped' and he knew what he had to do. He put together breakfast and made up a list of groceries for Mrs Parritt. Then he told her afterward that he would have to go to Harrod's for the shopping, since he couldn't go to Laszlo's anymore. She gave him the money and he just left with it. Just walked out. He knew he'd have a couple of hours before they realised he wasn't back.
Somehow he got to Edna. I think maybe he and Ellie had had some private conversations, about what to do if he ever needed help and we weren't available for some reason. Edna lived right round the corner, after all, so if he'd come to Doughty first and couldn't find Ellie or Dora or Mr Lupin, she wasn't too far away. Well, he found her just before she was about to set off, so she side-alonged him away.
They've been warding their campsite, that's why Sherwood's people didn't scout them until a couple of days ago. They were being held and questioned in case they were impostors, but when I got here, Tim asked me about them and I vouched for them. Craig in particular knew things about Ellie that he couldn't have learned from your Grim Truth, Sirius. So they're safe now, for now, and they're supposed to talk to Mr Davidson sometime today or tomorrow about how they can contribute.
We're off to have a spot of lunch but I wanted to let you know they're here.
