One casualty. Not ours; I did not realise until after I had begun the incantations that the archives were not completely evacuated, and by then it was too late to stop. I do regret his death; he died of nothing more than a devotion to his duty and a refusal to evacuate when the alarm was sounded, I suppose.

Auror Brodie was a great help; Draco performed quite adequately.

I am exhausted.
