Maghnus Derrick has been at Saltash these last few weeks, in the same secure building as Lucius Malfoy. I was there today and he asked to speak with me.

He says he wants to throw his lot in with us and do what he can to help us defeat Voldemort. If are willing to trust him and put him at liberty, he will take an Unbreakable Vow -- phrased however we'd like -- to support us and not betray us.

Thoughts on this?

I suppose we'd have to move him before taking the Vow?

Yes. There's no way to create an Unbreakable Vow in Saltash.

In fact, it's possible that someone who broke their Vow while at Saltash would not suffer the consequences until they left.

We would have to choose our wording very carefully.

He knows little enough of our numbers and capabilities to be a massive security risk.

I'm inclined to put him to use.

Given that it's the sort of outcome we're hoping Malfoy to embrace, I say yes. Perhaps giving him proof that we did work with one of his former comrades will help convince him it's in his interest to work with us as well. (Not that we'd grant him freedom, even with an Unbreakable Vow. But it might take on the form of an act of good faith, perhaps.)

So, Mr Malfoy hasn't had any change, then? I keep trying to find a good time to talk to Draco about going to see him. I think he worked so hard to finish up those colocation boxes mostly to have an excuse not to go, you know? But he said that his father looked really pleased when Draco told him he'd try to visit, so maybe Mr Malfoy's waiting for that before sharing anything important. But it must be really frustrating that he's not talking, I mean, by now he should be over the effects of the Dementors and I thought he'd see the logic in helping us.

No. I think he'd very much like to see Draco, and if anyone's got a chance at persuading him to throw his lot in with us like Maghnus wants to do, it's Draco.

I brought Lucius your letter.

He did read it; from the length of time he was holding it, I'd even say he read it all the way through. Then he crumpled it up and threw it into the fire. When I spoke with him later, before heading back to 12GP, he didn't mention it. But he seemed -- well. It didn't put him in a good mood.

I can't imagine it would.

I tried to make an argument for his helping us.

I hope it'll make a difference after he's had a chance to think about it.



Thank you.
