Order Only: Private Message to Alice and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Well, that was ... interesting.

Alice, I do think we should perhaps simply meet Ridley for a summit. Too much back and forth is bound to lead to problems. More than a few.

Anyway, she's not half glad to confirm that Bill's a sympathiser, she clearly fancies him more than just as an office mate, and so does he, though I think neither of them are willing to admit it.

Which means I'd be happier if neither of them were directly involved in negotiating. Particularly given how free she is with her affections. And all those middle-of-the-night private messages, if they mean what I think they meant.

She mentioned that it's 'convenient' for the two of them to converse during the day but in their eagerness to please each other we might find ourselves agreeing to something we can't afford.

We'll have to see what Dora thinks. I think she might be willing to jump from DogStar if given the right motivation. But it might be to our advantage to leave her with one foot in each group, too.

Her actions with the Muggle girls were promising, I must admit. And decidedly not in the vein of what Dogstar would value.

I asked her about it. She said she knew it was something Ridley would never have undertaken.

The first thing she said to me was to thank me for remembering her dad. For telling that story, about Clarkson and Dolohov.

She's all right, Alice.

Good to know.

Very good to know.

We'll see how things go with Ridley. I think it'd be hard for her to let an Auror go from her network.

It's rather a shame she didn't find us first.

But I can't imagine we'd have trusted her.
