alt_billAlice (and Charlie):
I think it's a good policy that I'm checking in with both of you every time I have to do one of the cardinals. It forces me think through my decisions and options, and it keeps me accountable. Alice, upon mulling it over, I realise there's another situation I've become enmeshed with that by rights, as the Head of the Order and my commanding officer, so to speak, you should be monitoring carefully.
Once that occurred to me, my immediate impulse was to want to hide the information from you--which makes me suspect I really need to tell you immediately. You do need to know, and it would be a very bad idea to blindside you with this.
Charlie already knows a little about this, which is why he's included on this message, too, and I trust him to keep me honest.
Right. So, then.
I reckon I'm screwing up my nerve.
I've mentioned that I've developed a source within MLE. Things have, ah, developed a little more quickly than I'd planned. Or I even intended, at least at first.
She's an Auror by the name of Rachel Lamont with the Malfeasance Elimination Unit who has been embedded with my division to do audits and investigations. Her role is to root out both corruption and traitors. House Ravenclaw. She left Hogwarts in 1990. Well regarded in her unit, and already occasionally assuming a supervisory role. Intelligent, with a sarcastic sense of humour that I rather like.
She is the one I turned to when I needed someone to coach me on how to do the curses in the first place.
We've been thrown together, in a way, since we both started in our positions at around the same time, and we office close to one another. She assisted me when Mulciber cast Cruciatus on me, and I did the same for her. She has been willing to share information with me, and she's interested in my observations concerning events at the Ministry and the people we encounter there.
We've become quite friendly together. Then, rather unexpectedly, she propositioned me. Um, intimately. You understand, I trust.
I took her up on her offer. This has reoccurred more than once.
I assure you I haven't completely lost my head. Obviously, I have done my best to observe security protocols and I remain wary around her. I have not yet accepted any food or drink from her (bringing take out curry when I visit her, for example. When I've had breakfast at her place, I've gone out to bring food in.)
Well. That's it, that's what I felt I had to report.
I should also let you know that I spoke with Mum tonight to let her know I've been forced by Mulciber to perform the cardinals, and that each time I've checked in with the two of you. I just felt I had to tell her the truth. I imagine either one of you may hear from her soon. She took it as well as could be expected, I suppose. Really, I believe she was trying rather desperately not to react in front of me.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
