alt_aliceWe've moved forward in our full disclosure of Order activities with Maghnus, and so far, it's proven quite useful. To catch the rest of you up, Remus, Maghnus, and myself just had a rather fruitful conversation this evening. We were introducing him to our laundry list of current plans and strategies. When I mentioned Prince William as a possible key to bringing down the wards, he immediately recognised the name as a person of interest from his work with Selwyn, and furthermore, had some ideas as to where he might be located. He immediately brought up Mysteries, of course, as well as Eton, but he also mentioned two sites we hadn't really heard mentioned before -- The Galleries, and Wakefield. Apparently, both are considered 'secure holding sites' for Muggles. He wasn't very knowledgeable about the residents -- but he strongly suspected that someone might be kept in secure isolation in either place in such a way that very few people would know of their existence.
This is the first we've heard about those specific sites, which suggests that they're meant to be low profile. I think it's slightly more plausible that a long-term prisoner would be held at one of those places instead of Eton, for example, as unless he was in stasis of some kind, he would require regular care of a sort.
Regardless, it is worth further exploration. I admit to hoping
Well.
There might be any number of people stashed away there.
Severus, you might chat with him later this week to see if there is anything he can recall that would be useful for your research.

It'll take time to sort all that out. And it may cost us dearly. We were so very lucky with Azkaban -- it was in an isolated location, the timing was ideal, but these places are just right out in the open, which requires a great deal more stealth, and we know next to nothing about them.
I just don't want to
Well. Let's just say that I'll probably want to keep checking in with you and Remus both as we learn more, to make sure you agree that this is truly worth pursuing.
I'm hoping Severus will be able to dredge more up from Maghnus's memory.
