Such lovely weather

Clouds.

Other than recruiting, drinking tea, and 'experimenting', what have the lot of you been up to? What has He been saying? Am I in trouble? I'd like to know beforehand.

What happened to Ollivander's corpse? I need it.

Personally, I have been revising my essay on the uses of grave dirt. There are more than I had originally planned for.

Nott and I also plan to terminate Order member Elphias Doge in the next few days.

Grave dirt...hm. I haven't thought about that since my days at the Ministry. If you don't mind, I'd like to read that essay once you're finished.

[Private to Snape]

Ah, Nott.

That old man? Hahahahahaha. Make sure Doge doesn't have falling shelves in store for him, or your mission will be a complete failure!

How's the Lord? I haven't been called to him yet. Is he angry with me? And you, well you're his shining knight right now, aren't you? Belated congrats on the elimination of Dumblybore.

Naturally, I shall oblige. Truly, it is a pity that it should be so difficult to publish when one is a known Death Eater.

[Private to Rookwood]

I must say, I am a bit apprehensive about the mission, myself.

As to your status with the Dark Lord--truth be told, he has not mentioned you as of late. I can not presume to know his mind, but you have my good will.

Ah, problem there. I don't know of any publishers on our side. Maybe mainland Europe...there may be a few in Bulgaria, Germany perhaps?

If the mission goes south, feel free to contact me.

Well I don't know...he just ignores me I guess. Maybe he expects me to resume my experiments on the one sort of magic...or maybe I was on the correct route with the Inferi. Hopefully i'll know by week's end just what the BH is underway. Haha.

I'm not too keen on recruiting. You haven't been recruiting, have you? So many of the others are...well I despise people generally and I'd sooner be inclined to petrify than persuade them.

Recruiting? Don't be absurd, Augustus; you know me better than that.

I suppose that the publishers could be...persuaded, if necessary, or I could publish through a middleman. Both options leave much to be desired. I would prefer to be accepted for representation because of my academic merit rather than because of my skills at the Cruciatus.

[rookywood]

I knew you wouldn't stoop that low. Recruiting...I laugh at the others.

Publish under a pseudonym? There's another possibility...but I'm sure you want the acknowledgement. Don't we all. I had notebooks upon notebooks piled up before I went to Azkaban, and they took them all, most likely stealing MY notes and calling them Department of Mysteries findings!

You have my sympathy.

Private to Snape

[rookywood]

You have mine as well. It's hard being the favoured and an agent at that, with all eyes upon you.
