Like a Cornered Wolf in his Den (backdated)

He's back.
How could I have been so stupid as to think he'd lie low for a while, give up until a different time --hopefully one in which we could catch him?
I managed to keep it together while with Fleur, as always. She needs my strength now. Besides, no one else needs to know that at forty years of age, just the name of Greyback can send cold chills down my spine. No one else needs to know that regardless of how strong I may become, how much of a leader, part of me will always be the same terrified child I was at four year sold when he gifted me with this curse.
I can't let him have Bill and Fleur. I won't.
But, I don't know how to find him, how to stop him. The Registry hampers me as much now as it has for months and if Severus is right in thinking we'll soon be under constant surveillance, I won't even be able to do this much. The first time I tried to follow the trail, I'd have a contingent of WCU members on me after the first hour. I can just see how they'd twist the truth of my search.
Gods, I can't let the others search. If they're under the same scrutiny...
It can't be as hopeless as it looks, can it?"

Severus,
I've just returned from Bill & Fleur's cottage. Greyback's come out to play again. Fleur saw him outside her gardens. He's left his mark all over the area.
Thought you'd want to know.
