Order Only: Private message to Padfoot

Do you suppose Terry's forgiven the lot of us yet? For Milland?

Well, we could shave his head first. And perhaps clip his nails really short. (Not volunteering, thanks.)

But do you know, it does occur to me that we've not heard much from Snivelly about the person Milland was supposedly spying for. Is he making regular reports? To whom? And about what? Why hasn't he shown us any benefit to his little impersonation act?

I guess we'd better ask. I don't think it ought to wait until Christmas holidays when we can get everyone together in person.

[alt_lupin]

No, I agree. He's been lurking at Hogwarts, 'educating' the impressionable young, and ... using up polyjuice.

We could get enough bits of Milland to keep Severus well-supplied with polyjuice for a good long time, but we can't guarantee Milland won't find a Protectorate embassy quickly enough to get Severus arrested if he's still playing Milland.

Well, and brewing me wolfsbane. Credit where credit's due and all that.

But that doesn't require him to be at Hogwarts.

[alt_sirius]

Doesn't require his oiliness, either. I bet Steve could make it reliably by now.

[alt_lupin]

Do you want to come to bed and we can try to forget about all this until morning?

[alt_sirius]

Yes. I do.

I'll be there soon, I'm just ... I want to get something down on parchment first.

[alt_lupin]

Don't stay up too late.

[alt_sirius]

With you waiting for me?

Don't worry.
