Order Only: Private Message to Remus and Dora
Four days later and I still have occasional spasms. Morgana, this not being able to be Padfoot is almost as bad as when Bella cursed me and I had to stay Padfoot.
Mostly it's just being stuck in this house all the time, with that wretched elf.
I've been thinking about what we can do to prevent him betraying us if something should happen to me. Obviously, the orders I've issued him never to contact anyone who hasn't been told the secret of the Fidelius is perfectly effective while I'm alive. The question is what he'll do once I'm no longer his master. Will he accept the will as it's written, will he decide that Bella or Narcissa are his new mistresses, will he defer to Draco or Hydra or will he go and hang himself with my father's bootlaces?
It's complicated, because my mother's will actually left the property to Narcissa but my father's magical protections meant she couldn't take possession of the house. I wrote a will as soon as we were able to open it up, of course. But will Kreacher honour it if I'm not in the picture?
I think there are a few possible solutions but none of them are guaranteed. Since I can't do much else with this ankle still healing, and with my tremors I better not handle sensitive potions measurement, we may as well discuss the options.

Besides, it might solve the problem of Kreacher but it wouldn't necessarily ensure that you all have someplace to live if I pop my clogs.
Then again, I'm not on the tapestry either and he accepts me as his master, however reluctantly. So it might not fix anything.
Might be cathartic to blast them off, anyway.

Maybe Albus would know. They do call them 'house elves,' maybe he's stuck with the house, and with the Fidelius in place we've nothing to worry about.
no subject
As for the Fidelius, it protects the house but you yourself pointed out that he could leave and tell them all manner of things he's overheard.
Whatever we do, I'm certainly going to sit him down and remind him that in my absence for any reason, including death, he's to follow you and Dora as his lawful master and mistress.
