So. Tosha and Barty are definitely on the trail of the Order.

My theories on codenames:

Sophia: Acton
Mary-Quite-Contrary: Pomfrey or possibly Sprout?
Iphigenia: quite clearly Minerva
Fox: ...my money here is on Brutka (though obviously Tosha doesn't know just how close he is)

Have we figured out who The Leak is yet?

I have this lurking suspicion that the upcoming Order meeting is going to go Very Badly somehow.

Mary-Quite-Contrary is almost certainly Sprout - "how does your garden grow?", after all.
I agree that Iphigenia is probably Minerva, but I don't think Fox is Brutka, if Fox is one of the two that Minerva is "most charitable toward" - that would seem too obvious, to me. On the other hand I can't think who else would be new to staff and as close to Minerva as Sprout! Snape-as-Milland, maybe?

Has Acton been there since the time Dumbledore was not in hiding? Honestly, if Iphigenia didn't seem more likely to be Minerva from context, I would say Minerva was the best fit for Sophia, both because the pseudonym fits her name so well and "has been burning the candle at both ends for quite some time" seems to fit Minerva's post-bracelet public attitude pretty well.

*sheepish face* I somehow completely missed the rhyme ref. Definitely Sprout, then.

Agree that Brutka=Fox is not a great fit. Milland is...definitely a possibility.
