alt_sirius'Lo, all. Just popping in to report.
Nipped off to Paris yesterday to visit Gringotts. When I returned, I adjusted my disguise so that Victor and Ilsa's 'nephew' was on hand to help bridge the generation gap.
I found the guard I wanted to talk to in a cafe off duty. Not surprisingly, he was much more forthcoming over a glass of wine, and when he didn't realise he was talking to an applicant.
Turns out there's another layer above Nicola and his British counterpart, but he's partial to a particular vintage available in Dijon. Easily remedied. One or three bottles will mysteriously appear in the top of one of the Laszlo's boxes when we next bring them for consideration.
I've also added Fleur de Sel de Guérande to the list of ingredients we sell. Seems incredibly asinine, but Narcissa's mad for the stuff. I guarantee Malfoy will push for us if he thinks he's got an eager wizard purveyor.
The next step is to get us on review early. Working on that. On that note, Agatha has given me up as a reprobate, I'm afraid. But I assure you, it's all in the name of the Order. There's a lovely young witch by the name of Marguerite who is in charge of the Muggle Relations office, as the British staff will not consort with the French constables in charge of the wharves.
Can I help it if Marguerite thinks Henrich Laszlo is adorable? If it gets us useful information or better yet, access to the Chunnel warehouses, I'm willing to spend a night or two in a discothècque.
