When they awoke in the morning, the Order of the Phoenix left their individuals rooms and went to the Great Hall to find out if any had died in the Night.

And, not surprisingly, one of them had.

He was laid out in the middle of the floor, eyes open, staring straight up at the sky in the Great Hall. His face was locked in a look of shock and fear.  
\*\*  
LittlePlasticNinja, who was George Weasley, is dead. He was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and a Loving Brother\*.\*\*

It is now Day Five. Day Five ends on Thursday, July 22, at Noon Eastern.

\*Loving Brother is a mason role.

Another non-vanilla. Incredible.

And also, presumably, the one capable of confirming **story** ’s claim in #426. In any event, there was definitely a masonry, and it did involve a Weasley twin who wasn’t Fred. So either the scum know a _lot_ and have a pretty complicated plan, or **story** was telling the truth.

If anyone would like to counter-claim me - I am Fred Weasley, and LPN was my Mason brother George - I encourage them do so. I even volunteer to die first.

Yes, unless someone else jumps up to claim Fred Weasley really soon, as far as I’m concerned this is a confirmation of **storyteller**.

I agree. Story’s assumed confirmed unless someone counterclaims.

Unless someone counter-claims **Story** with a really, really good reason for not doing so yesterDay, I’m also considering **Story** confirmed.

I’ve read this a couple of times but can’t make much sense of the part in parenthesis. Here’s **OaOW** ’s post #466:

Can you explain what you meant?

@ **Inner Stickler**

I don’t have the most logical of reasons: Since you voted for him and he continued to explain his actions after you voted for him (and I, at least, found those explanations reasonable) I would have expected you to say, “Still not convinced, Chronos” or something to that effect. I suppose your silence is you doing so, in effect. I’m not close to voting for you **Inner Stickler** , and certainly not for that alone, it just seemed odd to me.
