Say, I've been meaning to ask you how Montague's fitting in with your unit. I mean, he's sharp, but he can be too sharp sometimes, if you take my meaning.

And there was something he said last week while we were harrying the cadets... I got the idea that you and M are locking horns. Or, anyway, that he's chafing a bit, having to take orders from you?


Even if you don't want to talk about M, do write me back. Sitting surveillance is six times as dull as usual after last week's entertainment.

Yes. Six.

Twenty-seven muggle adults. One mudblood. Three wizards. One witch.

So nothing listed from Mid-Suffolk or Waveney?

Someone's been lying, then.

[alt_rachel]

Nothing listed from either, but Waveney doesn't appear to keep a very careful count.

[alt_rachel]

Perhaps the wizards stole an entire work detail? The muggles might be lying because the wizards have them all under Imperius -- alas, killing the wizards to ensure that's not it is not exactly practical.

[alt_rachel]

(Unless you're done asking them questions, at least.)

[alt_lana]

I'm sure there's something short of killing them that can get the truth out of the wizards. Even if the muggles are well useless.

[alt_rachel]

No doubt.

Were they with some sort of organised group, like the Millenarians were? (I'm wondering if MEU is going to be sent around to take a very close look at camp censuses next week...)

[alt_lana]

Could well be. But no one's saying if they've got evidence of anything that organised.

Something for Montague to look forward to: a week in camp records offices. I'll have to warn Sarah he's likely to be in a spectacular mood.

[alt_rachel]

Tell him I'll trade him Corax Mulciber for camp admins any time he likes.

Anyway. Cheers. Congratulations on all that watching paying off.
