We're creeping up on 50 comments on the last one.

So, Bella looks entirely too calm here. I really hope she didn't take out Dolohov to deal with her frustration.

You beat me to it. I was going to post a link to Bella's death announcement with the caption, "OK, now what happens?"

Seconding the hope that Tosha's survived so far.

From:

stormyhearted

I'm wondering if Seamus will tell Bellatrix about Padma. I strongly suspect he's going to go down fighting- Ron, Justin, maybe Hydra?

From:

aedifica

And now she has said he's just sleeping. Yay! I'd miss Tosha. Though if she had killed him I was hoping for some "Hello. My name is Barty Crouch. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

From:

teceler

That would have been kind of delightful, in it's own way. I was thinking when this went up 'if she did, she is so very dead. she just hadn't realized it yet'

I find I prefer this outcome though, yeah. (At least at the moment.)

From:

teceler

Apparantly not! (unless she's lying, but)

From:

stormyhearted

Didn't expect to hear that from her. Wow.

From:

aedifica

WOW.

From:

teceler

I was about to say, oh, that's why she seems so calm. She's having a different kind of breakdown.

(also, yeah. Wow.)

From:

keshwyn

She has to say it, or her whole world falls apart. Rather like Finnegan.

From:

stormyhearted

Speaking of Seamus- he just realized something. I wonder what he'll think of Draco's reply.

From:

teceler

I'm going to guess, either,

a, scornfully

or

b, by asking how the hell did he cope with that? (probably in a pm)

From: (Anonymous)

O_O

Whoa. And now.... I can see Bella taking voldies place as Lord Protectoress.
-les. Who really ought to be cleaning.

From:

teceler

Oh. Oh.

That's what she's planning, isn't it?

Oh, wow.

From:

ursamajor

And she'll have Rigel - admittedly young, but still with some significant powers.

If Rod and Lana have any sense, they're under Fidelius right now, and possibly planning to leave the country post-haste.

From:

stormyhearted

Auuugh I forgot all about Rigel.

From:

ursamajor

Also! Her icon keywords: must know how to command

And did we establish - Rigel basically can make people and animals do whatever he wants - that includes the Inferi, doesn't it.

Well.

Hydra seemed to be able to handle it with wards pretty easily once she figured out what was going on.

And I don't know if it would work on the inferi. It took waving a horucrux at them earlier, and they seemed to test pretty exhaustively (abet not actually with Rigel himself, probably)

On the other hand, I don't know how their stuff interacts with Voldemort being actually-for-real-this-time dead.

From: (Anonymous)

.... I wondered at one point if Riegel was a horcrux...but now I wonder if he's actually Voldemorts kid. Which is scary... And probably completely impossible.

From: (Anonymous)

-les. Who really hates autocorrect.

From: (Anonymous)

I wonder if seamus is sealing his own coffin by going to Buckingham. If the wards are shaky Bella might use him to stabilize them.

-les. Who can not stop thinking through potential plot lines and outcomes. And really needs to get on with cleaning.

From:

ursamajor

That ... would be just like Bella. And if he persuades Padma to go? She doesn't know occlumency, does she.

From: (Anonymous)

Ugh these idiots were never going to be ready for the Council. Padma hasn't had quite the fall I was hoping for and if she's smart she'll stay as far away from Seamus as possible and stick to family. Seamus turning in his best friend as traitor and being used for the wards would be rich.

I really want to smack those two. Really really hard.

-les. Who has all but given up on cleaning.

From:

ursamajor

(Ha, I'm at the point where if I refresh both alt-fen and the game twice and see no new comments or entries, I make myself get up and tidy at least one thing before I try refreshing again.)

(Use the UFYH app (UnFuck Your Habitat) and the random 5 or 10 challenges. You get lots of little things done, with auto F5 breaks.)

From: (Anonymous)

Ooooooooh. I like that app for the name alone! I'll have to check it out! Thanks! - les

From: (Anonymous)

I've been doing that too. Except when I stop to check my cat Mimi commandeers my lap and then I'm stuck for 20 minutes.

I did clear out my old mail and sort through my library books so there is that.

-Les. Cat in lap.

From: (Anonymous)

... What if Rod and Lana took Rigel? Bellas been well distracted in the last 24hrs are we even sure she's checked on him?

-les who finally cleaned and showered and even brushed the cats

From:

stormyhearted

That would be interesting!

My brain is saying that Rod was uncomfortable around Rigel because of his unique skills, but I could totally be misremembering that. Though Rod might take him anyway, just to spite Bellatrix.

From: (Anonymous)

Well Rod and Hydra were quite the pair in terms of personality so I can see Rigel being monopolized by Bella if she saw he took after her. Bella always thought Rod and Hydra were weak in comparison to her, I wouldn't put it past Bella to teach that to Rigel. I wonder if Rigel can control Bella...? That would be interesting.

-les, still f5ing.

From:

teceler

Oh, hell.

/also forgot about Rigel

From:

kiya

"Oh, Linus. I am so glad you had the sense to find safety."

That, there, that's Linus in a nutshell, isn't it?

From:

stormyhearted

Also the fact that he would never think anything of that comment!

From:

elisem

Oh, man. Charlie on Snape and dragon's blood.

Right in the feels, man.

From:

ilyena_sylph

That was my *heart*, damnit!

From:

stormyhearted

Is there anyone besides Lupin and Lavender that we haven't heard a definitive status on yet?

From:

ursamajor

I think Lupin is okay, given that Sally-Anne has offered him up to play courier, but the lack of update on Lavender is concerning. :(

From:

annia

http://alt-lavender.dreamwidth.org/24245.html

She's alive!

From:

ursamajor

"ugh bad mem ories but gooooood pain potionsss." Hee.

Also, of course Luna has questions. :)

From:

kiya

My guess from the icons is that Lav's got scarring from the fighting.

And Luna wants to know much more about werewolves, of course. I was assuming that she wasn't going to catch it because it's new moon, but now I'm wondering what the freaky potion might do to the transmissibility....
