Yeah.

She's going to be horribly embarrassed when we tell her the truth about you. Assuming we can trust her and we get to that point.

No kidding. If.

When did Arthur say he would swing by? I hope we can manage.

'Some time next week.'

Brilliant.

And if we want to tip her off to some violation of Ministry Codes, to see if she rats us out, we'd better act scared when Arthur turns up. Or she'll think SHE'S the one being set up.
alt_sirius: (Okay)

Not sure that applies to 'Sinbad' but you go right ahead.

Which means I think you'd better arrange for her to see something tomorrow, yes?
alt_lupin: (intent)

I meant me and Dora. I don't think Sinbad needs to have a problem with the Ministry.

In fact, perhaps you can stay there while Arthur's talking to her. See if you notice anything Arthur doesn't.

And yes. I still don't know what, but yes.

And she might think that anyway. About being set up.

Did you notice her rearranging the shelves this afternoon? She was putting the snuff boxes alongside the tins of string mints.
alt_lupin: (me again)

She was?

What for?
alt_sirius: (Relaxed)

Well .... Little things that go in a hip pocket. What do muggles call it? Impulse purchasing. I dunno. It hadn't occurred to me until I saw her doing it but then it seemed dead clever.

Oh!

That's

rather brilliant, actually.

Exactly. I think someone who can make an intuitive leap like that about something so small could easily size up a Ministry visit a few different ways.

And she's good with the older ones, isn't she? Like Bert Bantam? She had him grinning ear to ear. Before she dropped the glass, of course.

I dunno, I think--well, from what she's said I think she does know her circumstances are vastly improved from the camp. We'll just have to see if she can settle down.

Speaking of settling down ... see you in a bit.
