Order Only: while we're waiting....

I'm not sure I can stand waiting about for news of the escape much longer. May need to go out for a ride, or meet with the agents here to see if we can start pushing any of these supplies to that customs-house of Malfoy's. Folkestone, is it? At least that's something productive.

But in the meantime, I wanted to let you know, Minerva: Harry told me he plans to use that item you gave him. He thinks it's from Voldemort, but I can live with that, for now. Particularly if it makes him keep it secret. Though I hope that doesn't mean he'll ask any questions - the last thing we need is for him to speak about it to Voldemort like they are both in the know.

He plans to spy on Macnair. Apparently, you've got a dragonet in your castle, Headmistress, and Harry thinks he can spirit the creature away.

You and I know dragons are dangerous even when they're just-hatched. Keep an eye out for him.

The rest of his letter we already know: Macnair and Quirrell seem to be working together or at least on friendly terms. And he hopes to make Hermione help him with his research - just as you thought, Minerva, and probably with the help we've just given him.

Right. I'm going mad doing nothing. I'm going to see how high I can drive the prices, if Malfoy's footing the bill.

Think I might actually invest in a place to stay here, too, if I'm going to be flitting up here all the time. Can't always be living out of hotels or relying on obliging, er, friends.
