Order Only : comments [Remus Lupin]

Rachel, you said you were heading into work. Who is likely to get the ledgers, if they've been confiscated? Is there any chance you would be assigned to look them over?

Bloody hell. And can you glean anything about how long they've been watching the place?

Well, apparently they hadn't noticed yet we were a massive nest of traitors with Sirius Black cleverly concealed as the family dog.

Or they'd have started with Bellatrix, rather than sending for her later.

Remus is right: if they'd had any idea at all, they'd have had the floo reset to send anyone coming through straight to Truncheon before you had any notion of what was happening.

They got loads of leads from that Crimson Company bust, most of them the sort of very dull dead end you want followed up on by someone you keep around for precisely that sort of thing. If it looks interesting, you send for backup, which is precisely what the Enforcer who came tonight did.

Fortunately.

Fortunate.

Anything you can glean in the next few days which will help us with damage control, we'll be mighty glad to hear it.

Without blowing your own cover, naturally.

I left once I'd heard from Remus. No point in making myself more suspicious than necessary. Especially given how many times I've hung round that beer garden myself.

Probably they'll pass the ledgers on to my boss. I might get the assignment to follow up, but then again, I might not, if they decide I'm in the circle of suspicion on this one. (Rather than merely having been an idiot. Bellatrix had been there too, though, hadn't she? And Narcissa used to shop there. So at least I'm in good company.)
