Order Only: I'm Off

[alt_sirius]

Minerva, Poppy, I don't know what to tell you about your Mr Boot. I suppose every silver lining has a cloud, or whatever the muggles say. If there's a way to keep him without naming your spell, I'm sure we'll come up with it. That is, if you get good news about the Carrows this week. Hang in there, Hermione. We'll hex

Meanwhile I've got some news that takes me south. I was making the rounds early this morning and came upon a couple of the enforcers working the Dementors. They were griping, as one might expect. But then one of them said something curious. He said that he needed a respite - that he'd rather transfer to the Catterick Garrison since it was such an easy assignment.

Then his companion said: 'It wouldn't be easy right about now, haven't you heard? Macnair was seen. Plain as day. Northwest edge of the Yorkshire Dales.'

I'm heading down to see what I can find out.

I'm sure I don't know what Muggles say, but Mr Boot's security is a matter of grave concern.

Do take care. If Macnair's been seen and it's being talked of by a pair of unlucky enforcers up our way, then you may be sure, it's being investigated by MLE.

But you know that. Just don't give them another fugitive to add to their posters.

To tell truth, though, I'd far rather look at your face than that lunatic Snape's or Macnair's--either one--two blacker souls I've rarely seen, and of course I see them now whenever I enter Hogsmeade. We did get Dawlish to remove the ones he'd put up around the castle. Honestly, no one could have a decent cup of tea in the staff lounge with those evil faces glaring down from the wall. As bad as turning a corner and finding Salazar Slytherin hanging there, scowling at one and all.

You'd better believe that Yorkshire will be crawling with MLE, so watch your back, my love.

Yup. Crotch is here with a team of them.

Don't worry, I'll be careful. Foe glasses only register intent to harm, that's what Moody says, right? So as long as I'm just a friendly pup, it'll be fine. And maybe I can stick close enough to overhear something.

Be careful.

I'm really not the one who needs to hang in there most, you know.
