Update from the front
Mood: *Wibble*

Oh dear. I think they have found the second year Hufflepuffs. A couple seem to have shown up on the list with injuries. But those three Snape mentioned? I hope funeral clothes won't be needed, even if they are unknown entities.

In other news: They found Collin. Although he doesn't seem to be doing well. Creevey, Colin, fifth - Major head injuries, multiple lacerations to face, broken clavicle. Currently unconscious. Being worked on by mediwizards.

So the only missing N_A players to date are Harry and Blaise. I think? I hope they're alright!

Has the theories behind Ron and Draco's altercation been posted somewhere and I missed them? And what about the theories behind missing Harry? Hermione seemed to think it was possible he might no longer be a Hogwarts.

I'm so worried about the second year hufflepuff's. First four of their parents are called. Then those four are removed from the missing, but they haven't shown up as injured or found. *wibbles*

Yes, it looks very bad. ;_;

theantimodel @ June 24 2003, 23:20:17 UTC

yes. I'd say the fact that they aren't listed as injured or found unharmed is significant. *frets*

And those second year Hufflepuff's that have been found, are in terrible shape, as is Flitwick.

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 22:57:56 UTC

theories behind Ron and Draco's altercation been posted somewhere

Err.. it was discussed some in this thread.

I think what it basically was about was that Ron had one of his panic and sleep-deprivation induced manic attacks, accused Draco of being a DE and being involved in the incident, and attacked him. I think.

(parent)

tiamet_nox @ June 24 2003, 23:21:49 UTC

Thanks^-^

I was busy thinking that Ron was upset with Draco for keeping Harry out of bed late *cough* thus making him sleep in and be directly in the way of the attack... he he he ^_~

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:29:17 UTC

I don't think he would blame Draco for that part of it. Seamus reported that they (him, Ron, etc.) were letting Harry sleep in that morning.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:00:37 UTC

Remus sounds worried and a bit urgent. He's usually more loquacious that that.

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 24 2003, 23:32:48 UTC

I'm not surprised. The school is racing against time to find the missing students and dig them out while they are still live.

All the teachers have held up quite well in front of the students.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:35:09 UTC

Mm. But they've all been so reassuring before now that it shows how frantic they're getting about Harry. (Hermione's post too.)

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 24 2003, 23:41:42 UTC

Children are wonderful about feeding off and picking up the emotions around them. If the staff shows visible signs of panic things may get worse as people rush off to find Harry, or other students, and get hurt or lost themselves.

Someone needs to tie poor Ron down until Harry is found.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:46:13 UTC

I think Seamus did get him to take a sleeping potion and take a nap in the hospital wing.

It also means Harry's the only Gryffindor still missing. ;_;

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 24 2003, 23:26:36 UTC

If Harry hasn't been taken prisoner and has indeed left the school, I wonder if he didn't floo home. In times of trouble people seek out safe places and Sirius and Remus have always tried to make Remus's Estate has close to a family home as possible (and, IMO, have done a wonderful job).

He might also feel like this is his fault and has taken to hiding so people won't be mad.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:31:24 UTC

I don't think Harry would leave everybody worrying about him like that. And it's never been his style to run away from resposibilty.

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 24 2003, 23:36:02 UTC

And it's never been his style to run away from responsibility.

No, it isn't. If Harry stays true to form, he might be in the thick of the mess with some scared younger students. He'll be scared himself but won't show it and won't talk about it afterward.

(parent)

1anonymous1 @ June 24 2003, 23:40:15 UTC

Looks like Hufflepuff is taking most the casualties death wise.

Unless all those Ravenclaws arent so lucky.

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 24 2003, 23:52:15 UTC

I'm surprised that while Lucius talked about the terrible condition of the school, he didn't mention anything about donating money for repairs. I would think that this would be a grand opportunity for him to really get his thumb into the pie.

But there is lots of time for that to happen and I'm sure he has a plan.

(parent)

portkey @ June 24 2003, 23:56:33 UTC

Speaking of Lucius. Did the comment about his funeral outfit seem almost.. boastful to anyone? There's a kind of subtle arrogance to how he worded it, that he seemed to almost be reminding everyone that 'their' goal had been achieved.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 24 2003, 23:58:35 UTC

It seemed such a cold thing to say. *brrrr*

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 25 2003, 00:01:18 UTC

Either that or he's bragging that his Heir isn't dead, MIA, or (Goddess forbid) DOA. All of Draco's injuries can be taken care of with a minimum of fuss. Sans the nose, of course.

(parent)

quixotic_sense @ June 25 2003, 00:50:38 UTC

He certainly seems more upset by Draco's nose than the deaths of the students. He could simply be in shock and falling on the ingrained Malfoy behaviour, but I winced when I read his comments to Narcissa's post: No one wants to think about innocent children being hurt but these things do happen and it's an excellent opportunity for Draco to show off his leadership skills and Malfoy upbringing.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 25 2003, 00:01:31 UTC

Snape's calling for the parents of Soblessa now and she's not listed among the injured. ;_;

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 25 2003, 00:09:31 UTC

Snape has started a "Death List." Soblessa is the last name as of now.

(parent)

portkey @ June 25 2003, 00:12:19 UTC

Soblessa is officially listed as dead.

I can't find it in myself to feel sympathy for Colin, but I'm not sure how Ginny will handle this. Let's just hope they find Cho's arm soon, and she can console Ginny.

I just know that someone will have posted this before me, but that's my fault for waiting the five minutes without checking the new comments in this thread.

(parent)

theantimodel @ June 25 2003, 00:08:53 UTC

Well it seems that they've found all of the Hufflepuffs. Snape has updated their status, looks like our fears were right :(.

They've also finally admitted that Crabbe was right and listed Nott as having successfully apparated away.

So all the Hufflepuffs are accounted for, if not all alive. We're just missing the 4th yr Ravenclaws, 2 Slytherins and Harry.

I wonder how people are going to respond to the deaths?

(parent)

theantimodel @ June 25 2003, 00:16:35 UTC

seems like everyone wasn't really prepared for people to have died, what with Ernie's remarks and all. I'm wondering if this will make Draco freak out a little more. Before he was so sure that harry was okay, maybe he won't be so much now.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 25 2003, 00:19:27 UTC

I bet they all won't be so sure now. o.o

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ June 25 2003, 00:22:44 UTC

The poor Hufflepuffs. The older ones still remember Cedric and this can't be good for the little ones.

However, death brings people together and it reminds people that while our loved ones are gone, they aren't gone unless we forget them.

We might see new couples popping up and the disappearance of present couples for lots of "We're alive" sex. ^_^

Okay, just to clarify... were the Hufflepuffs in the area that Sirius & co. are searching, or is it a different area entirely? I'm terrible with directions and layouts and such.

(parent)

Anonymous @ June 25 2003, 00:20:18 UTC

All the damage seems to be limited to one wing, where Charms is, and they seem to be going at it from the bottom up. So I gather from what Sirius and Sinistra have said that they're all on the third floor now, which is where the Charms classroom is. Sinistra said that it was the floor with the most damage.

Now we know why the Fat Friar was so upset. :(

This feels entirely too real. Half the second year Hufflepuffs dead, the rest severely injured except one. And no news of the fourth year Ravenclaws yet. *obsessively refreshing*

I don't like to imagine what Ginny is going through right now. I hope that Cho gets her arm back -- it would be a terrible irony is she can neither be a Quidditch player nor a dragon-tamer now. T_T

theantimodel @ June 25 2003, 01:05:09 UTC

See the thing is Draco said that before they knew that anybody died. I'm not sure that it had really sunk in that people could be dead at that point.

That said, I still trust Draco on this, both he and Hermione have said that he's not dead. Between the two of them they've gotta have enough empathic connections to the boy to know.

(parent)

notapipe @ June 25 2003, 01:12:14 UTC

Draco also cares very much about Harry and you know how he is when bad things happen to people he cares about (cf. his parents' maritial problems).

(parent)

theantimodel @ June 25 2003, 01:01:15 UTC

I was thinking that myself. Harry can't be dead. He just can't.

(parent)

dragynville @ June 25 2003, 01:02:40 UTC

Depending upon how many dogly abilities he has as Padfoot, he should be able to tell whether he's alive at least. (Dogs can tell a certain amount of health status by smell.)

(parent)

notapipe @ June 25 2003, 01:13:33 UTC

Probably, but he'd holler either way, wouldn't he?

(parent)

dragynville @ June 25 2003, 01:28:27 UTC

Yes, but I think he would've signaled Remus somehow, and from Remus' post he seems to think he's alive. He wouldn't want to be getting their hopes up for a big crash. Plus I don't think he'd want everyone (students) to come running to help dig.

(parent)

notapipe @ June 25 2003, 01:30:24 UTC

Point conceded. That would be great, get Ron to come and help dig, and then reveal "Harry is dead" then see how well that goes over.

notapipe @ June 25 2003, 01:15:34 UTC

You know, if Harry were trapped with Blaise in that hole, we could have to start coming to terms with isolation!Harry/Blaise, which I can't imagine would make Draco very happy and/or receptive to Harry as more than a friend.

(parent)

hobaggins @ June 25 2003, 01:18:18 UTC Re:
