Private message to Barty Crouch, Jr

[alt_bellatrix]

As the subject did not come under discussion directly last night, I write here to say that your dedication to your pursuits under the service of our Lord is a credit to you. Do not let the heaps of flowers, the pearl-clutching, and the weepy letters to the Prophet allow you to doubt that.

Also. Good to have you back.

Was never gone.

Confess that examining the body was disturbing. It's undoubtedly mine. Can't fault any of you for mistaking that.

However. Cannot understand why no one dug further into Selwyn's account: clearly 'my' behaviour upon Apparating was anomalous. Did you really think I'd be taken in so humiliating a way? Wand not drawn?

Have briefed Forney re. Maule as none of us can take lead on that.
 
 
Must say it was more amusing to watch Him play with Rowle and Hewett last winter than to be battle stag of the moment myself.
Have no intention of losing this fight to Maule.

Nor of allowing this to descend into a battle royal amongst us. We will prove worthy of His continued trust. And remove the upstart in the bargain.
