[Private to the Order, minus Sirius, plus Pepper]

Now that things are back to normal (after breaking two toes, almost losing a finger, burning off an eyebrow, and getting lost in the Welsh countryside) I've finally completed my work on a scent-altering charm that Pepper requested. However, it's not perfect, and it needs to be tested on a werewolf before we attempt any sort of field use out of it. I'd also like someone who is skilled at charms to look over the work as well. I'm not that confident in my charms, especially after being cursed for a week.

DAMN. FOILED. Where are we going to find a werewolf on such short notice?



Otherwise, I believe that there should be two or three people other than myself that apparate into the area, and we should scout it out beforehand to see what kind of range we're dealing with. Then, honestly, we do what we can to find Percy and get him back. It's not a perfect plan by any means, but it's something.

Bloody comedian now too, yeah?

Sounds good to me. Don't think we're ever gonna have a perfect plan.

I try.

We'll have to make sure that that charm is as strong as it possibly can be. My senses aren't as developed as someone like Fenrir Greyback's.

Agreeed. Which is why I want a second opinion. Makes me wish I paid more attention at Hogwarts.

Hell, possibly Moody. Or Alice. Hey, she's pregnant too, aren't pregnant women supposed to have a heightened sense of smell? Please don't kill me if you read this, Alice Don't mean to sound so blunt...

I don't know if that's so much when you're due any day. More like the first, second trimester there, Dung. Anyone who's got a bit of a aptitude for building charms would probably do the trick. We'll have everyone roll in something particularly disgusting so the sent is obvious and then mask it to see if I am blissfully unawares.

Right. Makes sense, I suppose. Fuck do I know about being pregnant? Shot in the dark anyhow.

But yeah, that was sorta along the lines of what I was thinking, far as testing it out goes.

I'm pretty decent with charms. I'm sure there are others who're better but I could take a look. Or if you want to use me as the one who gets their scent altered or...

this is a really fucking weird conversation.

Anyone who goes anywhere around there will have to get altered. But still, I would welcome a second opinion.

Yeah.... it really is.

Oh I'm not going anywhere near that camp without the charm. I just meant being the test subject for... letting Pepper sniff me? To see if it's working.

And it just gets weirder and fucking weirder.

I still think I can help. With the scouting.

Dig's got to be the one to give you the okay on that one. I don't disagree that you'd be useful but I also have no idea of how heightened your own senses are.

The scent stuff should be used for the scouting too. We don't know where it is in comparison to wherever they're staying, so. He'd definitely smell you and I, Dorcas.

Yeah, I figured. But we've been doing duelling practice and stuff so he should be okay with me sneaking around the woods or wherever. I think. Besides if he doesn't let me go make myself useful I'll probably just throw myself out the window in a ridiculously dramatic way and no one wants that.

The smell thing is... I don't know. It's definitely more than it was before although I don't think it's anywhere near what yours is. But I'm definitely picking up smells I didn't before. It's something at least, yeah? Just haven't had much of a chance to test it beyond figuring out who's in the house.

And again with the creepy. I mean I know I'm like leftovers for him or something but still. Ew.

If you've up and about more, I really don't think it'll be a problem. But just scouting, not the actual "attempted rescue" bit because we honestly have no fucking idea what we're going to be staring down. (Has anyone talked to Molly and Arthur about what happened? I know there was a vampire and apparently a rather illiterate hag, plus Greyback, but anything else?) Also, Dorcas, anymore dramatics with this Order of Flailing Vigilantes shite, and I'm moving to fucking Monaco. Seriously, patching people up for being idiotic loses it's flair after about the third go around.

That's about what it starts as. I can smell Al's feet from about 10 miles away (which says all sorts of fucked up stuff about his personal hygiene) but when I was first bitten I nearly went fucking nuts in the hospital just from the smells in my room alone. And it's constantly changing. We'll do a few tests.

Yeah, well. Look up "Creepy Fucking Twatwaffle" in the dictionary and I'm about 105% sure you'll find a picture of that fucker.

Are you going on the rescue mission then? Because if you're off chatting it up with Greyback all I'm seeing is a bunch of Order members wandering blindly through a camp filled with Seriously Fucked Up People as they try to find the kid.

And I was actually joking, you know. About the throwing myself out a window bit.

So that's what that smell was. Fucking hell, someone's got to talk to the man about soap. But yeah, test away. It'd be nice to actually figure out just what I'm able to do these days anyway.

Can we like poison his fucking water or something while we're in there?

Well. Ultimately he's probably going to figure out what the fuck is going on, so I figured distract him, get everyone in there, ambush and then. Well I was hoping I'd be able to sniff the kid out in all honesty.

Well yeah, I figured. Doesn't change the fact that you're all fucking nuts.

Good. I'll come over a bit later.

Fucking go for it.

Run in blindly, wands blazing and hope for the best? Spoken like a true Order member there, Pepper. Are you sure we wouldn't be better off with a plan more along the lines of distract Greyback, keep him away from the camp and sneak in? Seems like we'd be less likely to end up fighting off a whole pack of werewolves that way. I'm actually not all that eager to go running into a fight (shocking, I know) but if I pass your tests and shite, I may be able to do the sniffing out while you keep Greyback the fuck away from there? Or I guess we can figure that shite out after the scouting part when we have a better idea of what the fuck we're walking into, but still. Sneaking is good.

Don't think we don't already know it.

Sounds good. Fair warning though, if you try to make me smell disgusting French cheeses or anything like that I'm likely to throw up on you.

Actually-
What's it take to poison a werewolf?

I talked to Molly and Arthur. Putting together who they saw and who Fabian and Gideon saw, we get four werewolves (including Greyback), one vampire, one banshee and one hag. It's probably safe to think that he has more people with him who didn't come to the Burrow - better be ready for worse, I say.

Do you think that we could do serial Apparitions in the area to scout it out? Apparate to one point, quick check, disapparate and Apparate to another area, etc. We'd cover more ground and they'd have more trouble catching us, no? They might also think there's more of us, as they'd smell people all over the place. The scent wouldn't be constant, but it could be confusing, right?

Fuck, that's nuts. All those creatures?

And Stu, that's fucking brilliant. Confuse them. Maybe even switch it up a bit with that charm. Make them think they're surrounded. Ah, great idea mate.

For the scouting? Not a bad idea. Maybe send someone in at first to get a look. Does anyone have invisibility cloaks, or can anyone cast fucking epic disillusionment charms?
