Private message to Barty Crouch Jr

[alt_bellatrix]

Expect you may have heard by now, but if not, I'll summarise: Draco attempted escape by Apparating to the Argyll camp. Snape pursued and killed Draco before he could reach safety. Neither the camp guards nor Lamont and Montague were successful in stopping Snape, and he remains at large.

While taking Lamont and Montague's reports, Mulciber arrived and retrieved the body without notifying me. Those same camp guards allowed him to do so. Both guards have been permanently relieved of duty.

Enforcers believe they found a safe house a few miles to the West. I need to examine the scene, but meanwhile, Mulciber must give over the body. I'm counting on you to convince him.

Quiet as can be, yes. Meanwhile, Hydra will move Harry into position.

As for Cadmus - it's rather too bad that Snape killed his brother just as I was getting to bond with Corax and know his mindset better. Without his brother, Cadmus is weakened, and he knows it. Weaker, but more dangerous. Still, he does remain predictable.

You know, Barty, your concern for my sister is really very touching.

Mind you don't develop the same sort of softness for my daughter. She has a way of evoking men's sympathies. No doubt that's why it seemed, for years, that she'd be better off following Cissy's shadow, rather than my own.

My concern for Narcissa is nothing for you to worry about.

As for Hydra. Prefer to keep tutelage and sex separate. Blurs lines and makes for tiresome drama. Was glad when the last cohort of ducklings got beyond thinking they could improve their standing by offering themselves. Would have to have sacked them after.

Shall I let you know if Hydra makes any inappropriate offers? Or would you prefer not to be bothered? Either is fine.

[alt_bellatrix]

She will not offer, but she may make herself beguiling to you, or attempt to evoke your sympathies and pity. That has been her way in the past.

If you see any such behaviour from her, do let me know. It would be a sign that she has regressed, and it best be nipped in the bud at once.
