*Her smile returns as Remus takes Teddy, but fades again at his words, and Kingsley's*
*She obediently steps inside and closes the door behind her, folding her arms and biting her lip*
What's... what's wrong? What's happened?

*He watches Andromeda entering and closing the door behind her. He was still holding little teddy*
I don't know how to say this, so I'll be straight... Dora was kidnapped by Voldemort.
*Held Teddy even tighter after he said it*

*He storms down the corridor upon leaving the lift and immediately recognises the room he needs to be in.*
*He swings the door open and begins waving his arms angrily as he speaks.*
What's all this I hear about a rescue mission? Are you mad? Sending our best marching straight into suicide? I won't have it! You're all gonna get yourself killed!
*The door almost closes on him as the room is so packed. But he pushes it open again. He looks around and knows each and every one of the people in the room, and realises that he is among some of the best people at the Ministry.*
*He then notices the child and calms down.*
My apologies Mrs Tonks. I hadn't noticed young Teddy there.

*She stops breathing at her son-in-law's words, feeling as if she had been physically struck by them. She speaks in a small, stunned voice, fighting back tears.*
W-what? Dora? K-kidnapped by...
*Raises a hand to her head and reaches out to the wall to steady herself.*
No, it's... quite alright, Baron, I...
*She bites her lip, and attempts to remain in control of her emotions. But her daughter! She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She turns to Baron Papanoida once more.*
You mentioned a rescue mission?

Yeah! A rescue mission.
*He shakes his head.*
This lot want to march into Azkaban and haul her out. Admirable as that may be, I'm concerned that they're gonna end up dead or captured themselves.
I've got spies working their way in. I don't want that messed up over a suicidal all guns blaring assault.

*enters the office just after the Baron so quietly that it's likely no one has noticed and stands at the back, nodding at the Baron's words*
This is true. Who is to stay and protect the Ministry and everywhere else if all of us are on this mission? We must not all go in - we are far too outnumbered by the Death Eaters. We cannot hope to win any battles as we are. That is not to say we should never go to battle. We should only go when we equal in numbers and have a firm, reliable counter for the Dementors. We also have to consider this may be a diversion tactic by the Death Eaters and perhaps they are planning to attack the Ministry while we are weakened with our lack of Aurors.
Baron, what plan are your spies carrying out? Is there a way of strengthening the plan so it cannot fail or that it can be hurried? Can we rely on them?

*He takes notice of the head of Law Enforcement.*
The spies are on routine reconnaissance, tracking leads from various cases.
Unfortunately neither of them have secured a position among the ranks of the Death Eaters. Progress is slow.
But you're right. They could be setting traps all over the place.

Baron, nice seeing you too...
*Says with a smile, yet, his voice was was crustier then usual. He don't usually have people entering his office without knocking*
Yes. It is a fact that we all are planning to do something... But all the situation is being meticulously planned. I am already aware of the spies Baron, we aren't counting on an attack until we have Venus's confirmation. And no, We are not planning to on a suicidal mission, believe me.
*Gets up from his seat. Probably tired of sitting down and doing nothing to help Nymphadora*
As we speak, Nymphadora is probably being tortured by Death Eaters less competent then ourselves. Sadness and angst overwhelms her such us frustration and anger overwhelm us... We need to go further. Time is one thing we don't have.
*Someone strides in the office once again, eight people inside an office, that must be some kind of record. It was Edgar, the head of Law Enforcement*
You're right Edgar, we must not go all in. But some of us surely can, and there is nothing we can do about it.
*Glances at Remus momentarily and then to Alastor*
Do not think we are not thinking of the consequences, gentleman.

*Sees Baron Papanoida entering. He didn't seemed amused and as he started speaking and gesturing frenetically, Remus was getting frustrated. "Does someone at all wants to help Dora?"*
*Gently, places Teddy again in Andromeda arms and faces Baron*
Your undercover agents don't seem to find their way through, do they?
*He was tired of being held inside a small office while Dora was suffering*
How long will this take? A week? A month? or perhaps an entire year? Joining Voldemort's ranks isn't a thing that happens from the day to night you know?

*He tries to keep a steady voice for Remus, trying to empathise with the pain he must be in.*
The spies are almost in. One has become an apprentice already.
Although that is not my point. I would rather any action taken by this group does not ruin all the hard work my team have put in.

*Alastor listened to them only until a certain point. Folded his arms as they stop talking*
I've heard enough.
*Stands up slowly and faces Baron as well*
I'm still in charge of the Order, and if we can't do this as Ministry workers, we shall do it as Order's members.
*Makes a overreacted theatrical gesture*
Besides that, I've been watching your Young lady and I see no job done so far. But you don't have to worry, we won't interfere in this plan of yours, we still need her to get inside.

*He frowns at Moody.*
Getting killed as Order members still means getting killed as Ministry Workers.
I just don't want my department being shown up by your aggressive tactics.

*Takes the opportunity to pipe in.*
I am not a member of the Order, but I am still keen to help in this. If we're going to do it, we should make sure we do it right.

*Nods distractedly as Remus returns Teddy to her*
Yes... we can't jeopardize Dora's safety- or anyone else's-
*Gestures around the room at all of them*
By a lack of planning. And I'd like to help, in any way possible. I'll do anything you want me to do. I just... just want my daughter back.
*Bites her lip, in another attempt to keep her emotions under control*

Our tactics aren't aggressive Baron.
*Kingsley puts his hand in Remus shoulder, to calm him down. Eyes still locked on Baron's*
We won't mess with your plans Baron... But we will break-in Azkaban... Eventually. You have to get that in mind.
