alt_leeI hate to bring this up right now, with things at Hogwarts, but there's this other thing that's sort of urgent.
So, Mrs L asked me and Tonks to see if we could sort out getting Mrs Birdwhistle out of the Doncaster Camp and to Aldrich. She was an old Minister of Parliment, before the Protectorate, and she's real organised and on top of things, and made Doncaster basically a lot less awful than it could be for people there.
Aldrich wasn't thrilled, but said they'd think about it if she had useful skills. And then she wasn't thrilled when we asked her, because it'd mean leaving people she felt real responsible for, and she was all suspicious about how Aldrich is run, and she wasn't going to go anywhere she couldn't do some "meaningful and lasting good". And I think she doesn't know what to think of me and Tonks sometimes, but Tonks has met with her enough that I guess Mrs Birdwhistle has decided she means well (and Mr L, she asked after you too, this morning.)
So we kept going back and forth a bit. But then I guess she heard some of Dr Harris's radio bits, and got interested in how she could organise supplies for that. (She isn't a doctor or anything, but I guess she knew a lot about Muggle hospitals and how they ran, and all the kinds of things you need if you can't use magic to clean things and take care of people and that.) And there's another thing, where there's some new staff at the Doncaster camp, and they realised people listen to her, so she's now off on work details by herself, and at odd times, so she can't talk to people in camp easily, and not able to do as much there to help as she could before.
Between the two, she's willing to come give Aldrich a try. And they're more willing to have her. So the next thing is how we get her out. The new staff's being really difficult, but if there's some way to fake her death or something, that'd be best, she thinks. Make things safer for the people still in there. Or if there's a way to transfer her, and lose her on the way.
She'd like it to be soon. She wouldn't say why - she's a fierce old thing - but I think she's scared of something.
