That's the thing - and yes, perhaps best discussed at the meeting.
I want to trust her, so very much. But you're - she doesn't keep much from him. I'm not sure she could. And even asking if she'd keep something from him makes it so very clear that there's something serious at stake.
Do I trust her to answer the question "Who else could do this work?" and not tell him? Yes. I do. If someone she trusted asked it (that would be me or Poppy, I'd assume.)
Do I trust her to do the work herself and not tell Rabastan? I have no idea. If we could present it as a pure academic problem, a matter of curiousity, then perhaps. But if she got any hint there was more, then, well, I've no idea. Maybe Poppy might.
Or do we tell her and as Severus suggested (forgive me, Auri) Obliviate her afterwards? Or give her the choice, which is only slightly better.
And that's the risk. She's so very good at putting pieces together when she pays attention, and we've no way of knowing how much they've told her - if anything - about the whole mess.
I wish I knew how much she'd told Rabastan about the matters with Poppy and Snowdonia this summer. That would at least let us gauge. But one can't ask, really, without tipping one's hand.
