So far on today's Alternity: WTF and Triple WTF

[ladyrelaynie]

Hmm. Several interesting things coming to light today!

First WTF: As if we needed further proof how much Corax Mulciber resembles an integral part of male anatomy; that bouquet takes the cake. Belladonna and oleander are poisonous, the red rose is obviously her, and the black ones are her dead husbands. The scary thing is that Corax doesn't strike me as the kind of person to bother with flowers and condolences, unless to send a message. Maybe he was involved?

What do you reckon Blaise's stepdad was killed because Blaise's solution for his latest task wasn't up to par? Throwing money at things is kind of lame after all. If he was, that makes me worry for a lot for Molly.Or even the Malfoys, or Rod Lestrange (because let's be honest, no one is going after Bellatrix). Or the Patils (even though I don't like Padma, I don't wish her family dead.)

Second WTF WTF WTF: This. Seriously.

ETA: Oh, I didn't think of that!

Oh shit.
"Even more suggestive: I had lunch with Percy today who confirmed that Broderick Bode is not just sacked, but dead. I am not sure whether this is the only way Unspeakables may leave their employ under our present regime."

The odds that Percy didn't AK him are... not good zero. It explains why he might have sounded different and get the rest of the day off: the high from the Dark Magic.

Confirmed.

Ulp.

Just what I was dreading. I'm not looking forward to Molly's reaction, as she will surely find out eventually, although it would be a good time to slip in the news if Tonks and Charlie do get pregnant.

Poor Bill. How awful to have to hear about that and hold in your reactions.

[ursamajor]

She thinks she wants to send a Howler *now*, I suspect they ought to have calming draughts at the ready for either of these news items reaching her ears. Which they will, at probably the worst possible time. >_>

[ellemir]

They should take her to Moddey and give her babies to hold. She has used that to calm down before, and it has the added benefit of occupying her wand arm.

[ladyrelaynie]

I know, right? There goes any chance they had for getting him clemency after the war's over.

I agree; I am so glad Mr. Weasley won't ever know. But poor Molly!

[ellemir]

I think it's the comment about ritualised execution that bothers me the most.
AK could be merciful in some guises but he has actively participated in some ritual, killed, and then thanked the person who got him involved.
Bills report implies he is pleased even proud of his actions.
Hopefully Percy won't now be asked to take a more active role in enforcing boundaries in the candidate challenge. My twisted mind thinks it would be a perfect way of bringing his new proclivities to light.

[ladyrelaynie]

Me too, definitely. And the way he speaks to Siz here makes me think that if you're right about a more active role, we can expect Percy to be as insufferable as ever, but with an added murderous edge.
