There's a big article on the Malfoy family in the paper today. If you read it--well.

I have more than a strong suspicion exactly why Percy was at that ceremony yesterday. Really, Rita made the insinuation more than clear.

I'll buy extras. If anyone wants to read it who is in the field, let me know and I'll send you a copy.

I heard from Lana Sandoval that Lucius's allies suspected Percy's involvement yesterday when Cadmus Mulciber sponsored him. I think the article today banished any remaining doubt.

Anyway, that's what I wrote to Alice about, last night.

She suggested you try to warn him, maybe by expressing admiration for his nerve and asking what his plan was, given that Lucius's allies were now out for his blood.

I don't think that's enough.

We could kidnap him and hold him prisoner in Saltash indefinitely for his own good. But I'm not sure that's any sort of viable solution. Otto's elderly; without magic, it's not difficult to keep him under control. Percy's young, strong, and healthy; he'd be determined to escape.

I can try, although I might not be the best choice. If he thinks he's under Cadmus Mulciber's protection, Ron might be more successful at striking exactly the right note. He's younger, so Percy assumes Ron looks up to him, but he assumes I'm jealous of him.

Anyway, I don't think it's enough, either.

He would do everything he could to escape, absolutely.

FUCK.

I'll try to talk to Ron, then.

But I don't think warning him is likely to help much.
