Order Only: Muggleborns

[alt_hermione]

Professor McGonagall gave me the names in the book. There are nine--that's rather a lot since July, isn't it?

Anyway, here they are:

Dorothy Harris, New London
Emma Jenkins, Dartford, Kent
Richard Marshall, Hartlepool, Durham
George McCalman, Armitage, Staffordshire
Ifan Powys, Llanfyllin, Powys
Curtis Reinman, Ely, Cambridgeshire
Gavenia Selvaratnam, Galashiels, Scottish Borders
Arthur Tanisbee, New London
Anita Williams, Manchester


Something must have upset her about this, too--because she didn't want to post about it herself. I think it's because of the Tansibee baby. Arthur. I remembered that Mr Weasley had to bring Jane Tanisbee back to the camps because she'd been assaulted by the son of the family she worked for. But then I thought, isn't that impossible, for it to be the same Tanisbee? Because Mr Weasley made it so she wouldn't have any babies for ten years and--well, it's only been six years.

Still. It doesn't seem like it'd be coincidence, the baby being named Arthur like that. Does it?

Private message to Padfoot

Bloody motherfucking murderous cold blooded reptile bastard.

Forget capital letters. There isn't enough profanity in the English language to cover this situation.

Right. I've half a mind to start planning an all-out assault on the Ministry.

Beyond that, though, there's a potential concern here: If they already have Sinclair, Harris, Tanisbee - we can't leave them out of the false book.

But we've no way to know if they know about the others. And if we leave them out, we risk exposing the book. But if we don't, then we hand them over the next time Lucius bloody Malfoy sticks his nose in it. Either way, it could blow Minerva's cover wide open - and potentially the whole lot of them at Hogwarts.

Bugger all.

I say we leave out everyone but the New London babies and hope for the best.

Has anyone other than Lucius Malfoy ever looked at the book?

No idea.

So far as I know, he looks at it because he sits on the Board of Governors and it's convenient for him to look at it. But it doesn't really matter who looks and who doesn't. Voldemort knows about it, so he could easily send someone else if he had a mind to do.

I mean, it's not like Bill could casually ask his boss if he knows there's a book that inscribes the names of all magical children, can he? As soon as he mentions it, even if Mulciber didn't know before well - he would certainly know it thereafter!
