The Missing Guard

Becki wonders: 
>> Where in the heck was the person that was suppose to be on 
guard duty that night that the "rescue squad" entered the MoM?

I understand that the DEs probably got rid of the desk security
guard, in which Harry thought was odd that there was nobody there.

But what about the OoP guard?  The one that everyone always took in
turn to guard the Department of Mysteries entrance?  Perhaps they
were overthrown by a DE or two, but I would think that should have
been confirmed in the book.

Any theories anyone? <<


Leeann wondered that herself:

Not sure, I can't reference OoP right now, but was there any Order guard
posted after Arthur was attacked by the snake/Harry? I would think that the
order would have to find another way to "post a guard" after that night.
Would it be wise to continue to place an order member outside that door when
the MOM and DEs know about them? Would it be wise to flaunt the fact that
you know LV wants in to Dept of Mysteries?

(I sit here waiting for someone to prove me wrong. Go ahead, I can take it.)
