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.

Of course.

I'll send Pig to Hitty with instructions.

Should I pretend I think he's still in Azkaban in the letters?

I suppose telling him I'm part of all this on paper instead of in person would be easier for everyone.

If you're going to tell him you're in the Order, don't bother pretending you think he's in Azkaban; that would just be confusing.

Owls have been known to fall into the wrong hands, though. This was all easier when there were adults

Oh, sorry.

I meant I could either just keep writing him as I have been, and pretend as if I think he's still in Azkaban and nothing's changed, or I could write him and tell him that I'm in the Order and drop all pretense.

I'll be careful. Pig is rather good, and I'll put some safeguards in place. (And yes, I know, null field, I'm on it.)

If it's delivered by us, he'll certainly know you're one of us.

I know.

I was just checking to make sure you were all right with being open about it.
