Still in Cannes. The weather hasn't been quite good enough for splashing in the water, but it's certainly passable for romping, lounging and picnicking on the sand. Getting clearance from the Ministry to leave the country with our new charge was a pain in my bollocks, or else we would have been here days earlier, but I suppose we'll take what we

Are we still planning to head home tomorrow?

[dracolicious]

Oh, I suppose. Nothing else to do, is there?

[boywholives]

Not really, no...

[dracolicious]

We'll make a stellar pair of retirees someday, you know.

[boywholives]

Listen, about this whole situation with Goyle...we need to figure out exactly how we're going to tackle it.

[dracolicious]

We'll tackle it any way we need to, Potter. I'm hopeful that Shacklebolt can be made to see sense, but if it doesn't work out that way. . . .

[boywholives]

Let me deal with Kingsley. Alone.

[dracolicious]

What? Potter, with your need for justice, you'll crumple like cheap parchment once he gets his thumb on you. You're too close to the situation.

Perhaps we ought to hire a solicitor.

[boywholives]

No - no outside involvement. I have history with Kingsley. And I won't crumple. I like for people to get what they deserve, but I especially like it when I'm the one dishing it out. I'll deal with Goyle as I see fit.

I think that we need to arrange for the highest level of protection we can arrange, for Oscar's sake. I was...well, I was thinking of using Fidelius.

[dracolicious]

Meaning he wouldn't be able to leave whatever hole in the wall he manages to find. He'll be such a productive member of society then, won't he?

[boywholives]

Do you want Oscar ending up like his mother?

[dracolicious]

He didn't the first time. Perhaps luck is on his side.

[boywholives]

...do you honestly want to take that chance?

[dracolicious]

He can't live the rest of his bloody life in hiding, Potter. Not even we do that, even though we ought to.

[boywholives]

No, we just have eighteen different layers of wards around our home.

Look, until the Nott situation is handled, we owe it to Millicent and Oscar to do everything we can to make sure her son is safe.

[dracolicious]

Is that all?

Since when did you give a rat's arse about Bulstrode?
