alt_frankwe spent most of the night sorting out whether the device had any tracking charms, and testing whether we could get it to re-activate once we figured out it couldn't be traced. it can't be, at least not when it's inactive. at least as far as we could tell.
we had a debate about bringing it in. tested bringing it with a small warded area to see if that'd set it off, and it didn't, so we figured we'd be okay and we brought it inside moddey this morning. still hasn't activated, as far as we could see. we put it in one of the potting sheds we aren't using and Remus secured the shed so the kids wouldn't climb all over it.
the writing on the device was matched to a book Remus brought. it's an ancient text used by unspeakables. makes sense, because the shipment was from the department of mysteries, but we still don't know what it's used for. something we didn't know about the sleepers, maybe?
it sort of felt like a wave of magic when we were around it the first time. a pulse that you could feel in your chest. and like sirius said, fu felt it too. he's going to be okay, by the way, thanks to poppy.
Dumbledore, we could use a consult to see if you can make heads or tails of it. Bill is going to see if he can pick anything up coming from the ministry about it, but right now we've got a fancy statue of a snake and no idea what it does.

Date: 2013-03-25 09:49 pm (UTC)There was a small notice in the Prophet this morning about a train being robbed, but nothing specific about what was taken. Buried rather far in the paper, no by-line. They do mention the Muggles being freed, and warn readers to be on the lookout for Scary Rampaging Riff-Raff.
The 'pitiful remnants' of Sirius Black's terrorist network is to blame.
We're not doing so badly for a pitiful remnant.
