Students: classes will be canceled tomorrow. I apologise for the short notice.

If anyone has questions, please hold them for my return, as I cannot guarantee I will be able to answer comments in my journal with any sort of alacrity.

Private Message to Barty and Lucius

[alt_antonin]

Gus has written back; I am on my way to see what I can pry loose from him. I will do my best to give him as little information as possible, particularly since Lucius is convinced he is no longer calling the shots in his department.

I will return as quickly as possible; and yes, dear heart, I am being careful.

Will hold you to that.

Nothing of use; I am forced to agree with you that Gus is no longer the light he used to be. Not that I doubted you, but it is the sort of thing one must see for oneself.

Raz is actually back at Hogwarts; did Barty not tell you? We thought it not outside the realm of possibility that someone would decide to go after Harry, and with Minerva no longer present, Raz's duty becomes more pressing.

Am nearly done here with Gus. Would you like me to make a detour to Stornoway? The director is a distant cousin of the Higgs in question, is he not? Admittedly, at this point I am seeing enemies behind every turn, but if there is any question at his loyalty, having someone present to remind him that even with Our Lord fallen, His Council is not powerless.
