How the hell did he get in? Do you think he's found one of the tunnels?

I had my suspicions back in October, yeah. The Hogsmeade tunnel, for one - not that I was going to anonymously tip off MLE to the same.

But if Minerva strengthened the protections, why didn't she know he was inside?

You were there at school for a long time. Her drinking. How bad is it, really?

We weren't exactly chummy at the time. I don't think she'd risk the children, though. Not when she knows Snape's out there.

Sometimes I think the old place just doesn't want to be airtight. It knows that sometimes one might need a secret way in or out, and it likes to oblige. Although I never thought it would prove obliging to him, of all people.

Do we know for certain that he hand-delivered this note? Perhaps he imperiused one of the children to take it onto school grounds for him?

He could have done, but then there's the protections around Hermione's - what does she call it, a cubby? - well, Minerva says that no student could have broken them and then reset them without tripping the alarms.

It's just - this wouldn't be the first time she's got drunk at a critical moment. If that's what happened.

I'd feel better if I'm there and can see for myself what in Circe's name is going on. If nothing else I can prowl the school by night and give the students a new legend to pass to one another.

I don't like to blame Minerva. Even if she was thoroughly incapacitated at the time, we don't know that she missed the opportunity to do anything. Unless she'd happened upon him sweeping up and down the corridor outside the dungeons, she'd likely never have known he was there, if he's found a way to circumvent the wards.

I know you never liked him, but you can't deny, if a way into that castle exists, he's more than clever enough to have found it no matter how strong the wards are.

Just make sure the children don't get to pass on the legend of The Time The Evil Sirius Black Was Caught On School Property And Promptly Kissed By A Dementor.

All the more reason for me to go. We need someone up there whose only job is to look after Harry. And Hermione as well.

Raz Lestrange may be a cracking duellist but he's got lessons to teach. And he sure wouldn't give a thought to sacrificing Hermione if it meant saving Harry.

Merlin, there are a hundred reasons Snape could want to get Hermione alone. Polyjuicing into her to get to Harry's just the tip of the wand; he could hope to ransom her to bring Harry to him; he might want to use her blood or bone for spells - I don't want to say anything where she'll see it, of course, and frighten her. But I don't like it one bit and I'm not letting Poppy Pomfrey tell me they'll take care of things up the school.

They've taken care of things so well, this far.

Couldn't agree more. Have at it. Just be careful.
