Order Only: very briefly

[alt_bill]

Am up to my arse in very tetchy Hungarian Horntails here. Rachel and I extracted a lot of parchment from Corax's office (now miniaturised and off-site. It will take awhile to go through it; his handwriting was execrable.) We also jury-rigged a duplio spell at the back of two of the cabinet drawers that makes copies of whatever's put in the there so it reappears at Safe Drop No. 2. Didn't have time to rig all four of them. (Don't worry, between Rachel and me--Auror and Goblin knowledge--the spells are well shielded). His office is sealed and guarded, but I'm being allowed in by virtue of my position.

No word yet on a successor.

Cadmus keeps sending me irate owls. The latest demanded I write 'a fitting eulogy' for his brother's funeral. What'd I'd love to write probably isn't what he wants.

I hope to take advantage of the confusion to rescind some of the orders sending those kids to the mines.

Everyone's keeping their heads down.

Back to it. MLE's looking this way (i.e., not Rachel).

Right.

Let me put it this way: my first priority is to make sure the evidence doesn't point at me. My second is to make sure MLE gains no useful information from anything we might have left behind.

Beyond that, suspicion could run in a lot of directions. If you would prefer it land on anyone in particular, or avoid anyone as much as possible, let me know. (Though there's no guarantee I'll be able to elbow my way into this.)

I don't care.

Good to know.
