Order Only: Sam Fawcett again : comments [Remus Lupin]

Nick and I spent the day discretely trying to confirm his information. It all checks out, or at least we can confirm that there are people at those locations with those names--and given that, I'm inclined to take his word for the special talents/circumstances he describes in each case.

I wonder if Davidson knows any of the first three personally, or by repute, since he was SAS, too. Kingsley, could you check?

I'm salivating even more now at the idea of adding him, but I'm still equally as wary, for all the reasons Frank and Charlie mentioned. Bugger.

I don't know. Remus, I suppose it's difficult to tell, but do you get any sense about whether he's bluffing with the no more unless I'm allowed to join business?

Sure, I'll check.

looks like it'd be worth our while to pay them all a visit. tonks and me could go.

Sounds good. Just send me a patronus with rendezvous information for the day you have in mind.

I could go tomorrow, Frank. If you can.

I was just going to say to Remus that we've got some overlap between Fawcett's list and Ridley's--there are people in some of the same camps, I mean. We've got Mitchell Alden at Harlow and Lorena Elliott at Manchester camp. We had a rocky start with Elliott, but they're both solid with us now.

I see he's got someone at Doncaster, too, and we've been meaning to get there. Maybe we should pop whatsisname... Moxon up the top of our list? Ridley had him in the wrong camp. Or he'd just moved jobs when we went looking for him, but we've tracked him down (or Nick did, anywiz). Polonius Moxon, I think. Frank, that's right, isn't it?

right. Moxon. he works for the camps, doesn't he?

sounds like a plan.

not sure how well Moxon would get on with a muggle, though. especially if he's pureblooded.

should we tell them about each other?

[link] [parent] [reply]

No, you're right. He's Dogstar and pure or near-it and works in camp admin, so he's not likely to think much of muggles. We'll have wait and see, but I shouldn't think we'd tell him straight off. Or them, either. But we should, maybe try to see what we can learn about this 'Minister', Mrs Birdwhistle. Maybe speak to her if we can, but at least we can see if we can find out a quiet bit about her.

Charlie's the one who told us his nickname was 'mule.'

I don't think he's bluffing, no.

We can possibly offer one of our loosely associated analyst network positions in the meantime, along with the designation of being our Crimsom Company liaison. The analysts don't know all the secrets, so they're not on the Lock or taking the full oath. But they do keep the Order secret and they are key, because they help us by dealing with information--which is, after all, what he is offering with us. But the arm's length position keeps us all safer.

Perhaps a modified version of that, yes.

What we might do is tell him about the analysts and their jobs, and that he'd be a step up from that as our link to the Company. Then we could negotiate what his duties would be and what we'd give him in return -- access to the safehouse, a button for communication (Remus, perhaps he can report direct to you?), information passed to him that could be helpful for the Company, regular visits with his family, and whatever protection we can provide, and have him take a partial oath.

And later, he might be eligible for the inner circle, as it were.

Although don't tell him that bit, Remus, or he might insist on holding off until he's immediately given top access.

Do you think that would work?

[link] [parent] [reply]

It's worth a try. I'll visit him tomorrow, if I can, and see what he says.
