Order Only: Meeting with Auror Lamont
Dec. 9th, 2013 11:18 amI've had a message from Rachel Lamont which I interpret to mean that she has been in communication with Dogstar and has permission to talk with us further. Specifically, Ridley wants to know what the Order is interested in obtaining from them.
Rachel has asked to meet privately with me. I am toying with the idea of suggesting we meet after work at a nice little beer garden I know of where the beer is reasonably priced and the company is agreeable. Of course, she'll expect we use muffliato when we converse, but the owners' friendly dog just might wander over to sprawl at our feet.
I'm not sure, though. Help me think through whether this is a bad idea or not. She's said outright that she's quite sure that Sirius is part of our group, and she's broadly hinted that she hopes to meet him. She's floated the idea that perhaps she could become our liaison with Dogstar, an idea which Alice in my briefing with her this weekend has indicated she's willing to explore. I'm really not sure how hacked off Rachel will be with me in the future if she learns Sirius' form and discovers I set her up to be spied on during this conversation.
(Rachel, by the way, is an animagus herself, and thus, like Minerva, she is resistant to legilimancy.)
What should we ask for? And should I suggest Doughty Conduit as a meeting place? It might ruffle your clientele to have an auror there, come to think of it, and is the chance for the three of you to look her over worth the risk of possibly poisoning relations in the future?
