Nah, just the idea that electronic devices stop working inside a ward.
Oh Voldemort. If that wasn't a strategic error.
On one hand he took out Dumbledore's best aurors, but on the other hand he's basically forced Dumbledore to play really dirty. Considering he's likely had Tonks hide bombs or their equivalent the only thing that'll happen if he actually takes the ministry is that it all burns down.
I think the Weasley twins are right with their prophecy. When this war is over there will be little to nothing remaining of the previous wizarding culture if only because everyone is starting to indulge in wanton destruction. Dumbledore is planning to raze the ministry, the Muggleborns are venting on diagon alley and Voldemort will sooner or later burn down Hogsmeade. I just wonder if Hogwarts will remain standing or if someone is going to nuke it in the process.
He watchedimpassionatelydispassionately as the half a dozen Death Eater recruits were cut down by spells - just a few of them Stunners - while wounding one, possibly two Aurors in return.
I suggest rewriting as "That no one was coming out right then wouldn't make him suspicious".
Considering how isolated they are that's rather amazing truth to be told. I guess that's what you get for an obsession with blood purity that excludes the majority of society from your mainstream culture. It'll only result in that culture being pushed out.Remember: There isn't the wizarding culture. As the Weasleys have pointed out, the "pureblood culture" the Death Eaters and their sympathisers are claiming to protect is limited to a rather small segment of the pureblood population.

Hm... that certainly would make it an attractive target to hit for the muggleborn resistance or muggleborn extremists. You could be pretty sure that you only hit enemies if they do any public gathering.
This sounds pretty ominious. Is this just that Voldemort got more active or are Hermione and co actually really inciting more muggleborn to take up a serious resistance?'The attack on 'Haley's Hats' in Diagon Alley would have been a rather unremarkable event, despite the relatively high casualties on both sides, if not for two things: The arrest and the subsequent escape of two muggleborn attackers. It had been the first time since Martin Cokes that the Ministry had managed to arrest a muggleborn who had been fighting them as part of an organised group, which was a feather in the cap of the arresting Aurors and did improve Ministry morale - if only for a short time. It can also be seen as the main cause for the Resistance's subsequent change of policy towards muggleborn supporters, as their broadcasts started to focus on actual advice for fighting their enemies instead of more general propaganda, in an obvious attempt to avoid another such defeat.
More important, though, was the fact that the attack also demonstrated a significant change among the muggleborn population. More and more muggleborns, especially but not exclusively the younger generations, were willing to take up wands - and were not particularly concerned whether they were raised against the supporters of the Dark Lord, the Ministry, or just purebloods in general. The Second Blood War was entering a new phase.'

Apart from the idiots that just suicided it seems like most other muggleborn resistance was effectively graffitti.
Either way I'm getting the impression the "Avengers" may actually end up being forced to fight for the Muggleborns because Voldemort attacks their meeting and they get outed. It's pretty clear that Parkinson is working for Voldemort, perhaps even a Deatheater himself, so he might tip off the Dark Lord. Who'd be very interested in beheading the Muggleborn resistance.
That's an unusual use of "heavy". On first reading, I even thought that that was a deliberate speech pattern and they were about to be made by the Resistance."Ah, yes. Brad and Mary-Jane wanted to meet you, to join you," Daniel said. "We wanted to meet you so we can coordinate our attacks. It would be heavy if we wrecked each other's plans accidentally."

Oh well, Dumbledore has outplayed Voldemort in the area of politics, but the aurors are starting to fall entirely to Voldemort. In the end I wouldn't be surprised if most of the ministries armed forces would be assisting Voldemort in his takeover.
But attempting this at this point might be very risky. If Dumbledore actually gets the resistance to jump into the battle, they could potentially cause devastating losses under the death eaters. That's honestly what I expect.
Voldemort attacks the Ministry with his death eaters and about half the aurors and hit wizards flip to support him. Dumbledore calls in the order and the Muggleborn resistance to crush him. A slaughter ensues destroying the ministry and killing most combatants but the leaders of the bigots and the resistance. The wizarding government and society collapses as people are forced to pick sides or be picked off.
Sirius huffed. "If you're acting like that, then I'll keep the secrets of French love making tomemyself." Then he grinned. "Joking aside, how are your other friends doing? I assume they didn't like what they heard."
"No, I will not let the Dark Lord or his helpers get a_hold of the children." He smiled, cynically, when he added: "Which is another argument that might persuade some Wizengamot members to do what's right."
Hm... I really wonder if the French got involved because of Voldemort's bullshit or because they want to end the civil war in Britain asap before their own Muggleborn get ideas. Supporting Dumbledore with military forces is a bit more involvement than you'd expect for a simple fuck you to Voldemort.
Anyway, Dumbledore has called the ministry out. I'm curious how the cards will fall, especially what the corrupt aurors will do now.
