Order Men
How could this have happened?

James paced back and forth in the living room of the Order House, having been banned from helping the rescue party because he couldn't remain calm. Damn bloody right he couldn't remain calm! Only Frank and Alice---and Dumbledore, he knew, only they knew about the prophecy. So they did not have any idea of what was going through James' head. What was Voldemort doing, not having people kill Lily on the spot? Or had they killed her, and taken her and---James clenched his fists tightly, wishing to wring the neck of the death eaters that had dared invade their home. They had seen maybe one neighbor, always entering the house through the floo, so how anyone knew their location was highly suspicious.

They had only told a handful of people.

He didn't like the paranoia that was growing with his anger, but James couldn't stop his thoughts. How had they found out? Who had slipped and revealed their location? The Longbottoms were keeping a very low profile too, they were definitely in a more public place than they were, so---if they had been after Alice (like she had hysterically explained) they why didn't they attack them at the Ministry? Or at Alice's parents? It didn't make any sense to James, and he had the boiling, intensely strong gut-feeling that they had been waiting to hit two birds with one stone.

James kicked out at the thought, making the side table and the variety of knick-knacks on top of it rattle. Nothing fell, and James struck his hand out and sent the lamp soaring to the ground with a very satisfying crack. He whirled around--what else would be ridiculously good to smash?

The hysterical volley of angry shouting and gesturing from James came as no surprise. Sturgis knew the other wizard could become volatile when rattled. He'd seen James go spare over Sirius's disappearance. So, his reaction to Lily's capture was guaranteed to be a tad...radical. Which is why James was here, in the Order house and not out there with Ben and the others where he'd be a liability.

Sturgis could weather the theatrics of a distraught husband. He was accustomed to bad reactions to bad news. What he could not let idly pass, however, was the ridiculous commentary of an ally too ignorant to realize the severe connotations and repercussions of his outlandish words: to become what they fought. These were not suggestions an Order member should ever be making, let alone to an agitated wizard with a wand.

Already encumbered with enough hardship, angst, and duty to crush a lesser man, Sturgis felt his resolve begin to break. "Shut up!" he snapped loudly over the two men, glancing sternly between the two. "Would you like a site report?" he prompted James. "Or would you like to hear more mongering of senseless violence? Flip a coin, if you must."
