I am copying you a list of names. These are the listed subscribers to the Quibbler, and these same names are also going to Inner Circle Death Eaters. I know you've only got so much that you can do, but if there's a way to get word out that Death Eaters might pay attention to who subscribes to the Quibbler in a 'it's a conspiracy theory, but a convincing one' sort of way, that would probably be good. And the writers of the Quibbler are in danger as well - but my guess is they're already aware of that considering.

Also so long as there are copies to confiscate from the post I can drop a confiscated copy at your flat if that would be helpful. That way you lot can continue copying them into journals so that at least those with journals will continue to receive the stories.

And on a non-Quibbler note, I dropped the healing potions I have made at the flat and you can let me know if there is anything else that would be useful.

Finally, I had one other thing I'd like to discuss and that is simply this. I want Agatha and I to come to Hogwarts before you're ready to call the Death Eaters into a fight. I'd also like the people on your side to know that I'm on your side. I've had enough fun trying not to get hexed in the back by any of them the past year. They "know" I'm a Death Eater and if they stumble across me fighting - they may or may not stop to notice that I'm hexing other Death Eaters not Order members.

This does not need to happen immediately, of course, in fact unless you're absolutely certain Lupin was your only spy it's probably best to happen just before, but I frankly don't fancy getting hexed in the back from my own side, so I would like for it to happen enough before that they have the opportunity to get used to the idea.

If that's possible.

I'm torn between being angry we're down two more fighters and being relieved that I don't have to contend with Black & Lupin's reaction to this news. At the moment I'm so exhausted, that I feel - perhaps selfishly because tactically the former would make more sense - all right with being the latter.

Quibbler on the table, same instructions as before only with the extra warning of don't reveal the pictures - they're nasty.

I don't know if I'm growing immune, or if I'm just too weary to work up the energy to be angry or surprised.

You wouldn't happen to have any of that back salve would you?

You're doing all right?
