Order Only

[alt_lupin]

When we took Lucius to Saltash, he did have one suggestion I thought was interesting. Request, really, but he phrased it as a suggestion -- that we should offer to trade him for someone else. This would cover for Narcissa, I guess, and make it look like he was our unwilling prisoner being held as a bargaining chip. (As opposed to our reluctant prisoner being held because the alternative is Azkaban.)

I'm not sure what I think. I'll admit I'd be suspicious of his motives no matter what he were suggesting, though.

Private Message to Remus

I suppose our list would be rather short at the moment, wouldn't it.

Not necessarily. We could be offering to trade him for someone we want dead. We could implicate someone we want them to distrust by demanding them. We could confuse them immensely by demanding Maghnus Derrick.

His point was, it wouldn't work. So it doesn't matter who we want; the question is, who is it to our advantage to ask for.
