Order Only

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.

Not necessarily, but the problem is that they have no reason to suspect Mr Finnigan, even if we tried to make it seem he's questionable. He turned in a classmate, which makes him extraordinarily cold even if he didn't know it would lead to such a major breach of the Order's security. If he had been a member of the Order, it would have been far too risky a move to make.

Rookwood's a better candidate to smear, given that he habitually writes to Malfoy in PMs despite Malfoy not having had a journal for months. But he's also enough of a liability for them (for that same reason - hey, I just thought of something. I wonder if we could get Malfoy to read us those messages if we showed him a journal?), that they just might take us up on the deal.

Have to give it more thought.
