[ORDER]Brainstorming
--The Ministry has the Philosopher's Stone.
--The Death Eaters have the fake stone. And the Diadem. And Flamel.
----They would have moved the stone and/or increased its security by now.
----They may not realize their stone is fake.
As of right now, I think it's safe to say we don't know where the Diadem is. If it was with Narcissa, then it probably isn't with her now. As far as I am aware, we do not know where the Death Eaters' current location is -- I think it's safe to say Calypso's house has been compromised.
We
do know where the real Philosopher's Stone is and we also know where the Ministry is staying, and for that reason I think we should make that our top priority.
----We have injured.
----Ministry is on high alert.
----Making a play for the Stone right now would be a likely suicide run, and even less productive than the Diadem stint.
At some point, the Death Eaters are going to realize that their stone is fake if they haven't done so. They're probably going to want the real stone. Since this is the fate of their 'Dark Lord' we're talking about, I'm banking that they're going to try to get that Stone out of the Ministry.
----Maybe they'll try to polyjuice (it's a popular plan, after all)
----Maybe they'll try storming the Ministry
----Maybe they'll try forcing a deal with the Ministry
----Maybe they'll try a fourth or fifth option we won't think of
----...maybe they won't try getting the stone at all. And just focus on the diadem.
I think they'll try to get the Stone
somehow.
If I were a Death Eater that's what I would do. I think keeping an eye on the Stone will be the key to getting to the Death Eaters -- maybe ultimately getting to the Diadem. If we're unable to get the Death Eaters, at least we might be able to take advantage of any attempt
they make to get the stone to get it for ourselves.
Currently, a lot depends on 'ifs' and 'maybes' and 'mights'; but it's something we can think about while all the factions are licking their wounds. We also need more intelligence that I'm currently not aware of us having.
If anyone has further information, or other ideas, include them here.
