private message to Alice, Remus, Rachel

Principle ritual phase complete; work proceeding. Finnigan alive. Rookwood dead.

Sorry, a little shook, but we’re good. Rookwood apparated screaming into the ritual area just before the tick of midnight as Siz finished observations. She took him out with Farmington’s Asphyxia. Bloody fast, she is. Remind me never to be on the receiving end of a curse from her. We levitated the body off the pitch. Ritual continuation unimpeded. Continuing with observations until next phase of blooding.

Order Only: URGENT

You'll want to upgrade that "use caution with Portkeys" to "do not use Portkeys." Got a frantic message from my parents that I shouldn't use one because their neighbor's son-in-law just did and materialized halfway through his front door. Door was closed at the time. Healers are working on him now.
