Stopped with Ned to return the Fulton file; he said you had closed out the case. (Also that you're for Ipswich the rest of the day.)

Probably best for all concerned. Though it is still curious how Fulton managed to obtain the guest registers from Elysian and Ouroboros when he was a member of neither. Potential exposure there for others, as well. (Lunching with Glendower the elder on Thursday and will suggest he talk to Weber about strengthening the spells on Ouroboros' books. Will speak to Oswyn to-day, if I see him.)

As to the rest, well. You yourself said he'd been thorough. Though anyone who'd look at a photograph of Millingham-Kennilworthy and consider it of as much interest as one of, say, Yaxley's daughter, is clearly casting a net wider than the Channel.

At any rate, you're right to close it at this point. Nothing more to do except wait for Maule to tip his hand again.

Certain Bella was grateful to have you back on board (much higher priority, anyway). Claudius said she'd had a breakthrough (and Rodolphus had indicated something similar when we were in Pembroke) and requested additional wandpower. None too soon, particularly if you can silence him before his next screed.

Heard from Mafalda you have had a change in fortunes. Was it some mishap in extraction or a deliberate calculation? Or ought you to take better care of your toys?

Nonetheless, this replacement may play to your advantage even if, as I understand, your circumstances are a bit harder to bear in the short-term. Particularly if it offers you greater excuse to travel? Have heard rumblings from Level 13 and ... elsewhere. Runcorn, Maule, Fulton - it would seem we have new domestic disturbances to provide us with intrigue.

If you can see your way to the Frost Faire on any evening, let me know. Or if other occasions afford you the opportunity to meet: You will wish to keep abreast of the developments. Have a meeting with Avery and Rookwood later; should know more after that. Have instructed Weasley to make time for you, Dominic, Gaude, Mulciber or Rowle should any of you contact him with a request. Understand, however, should your present guise require a less conspicuous form of contact.

Might amuse you to know that Ned's vigilance on your behalf has grown, if possible, more ferocious in the last week or two, in the face of all the activities within the Ministry. Do yourself a favour and warn him if you intend to pop into your own office; suspect the lad will take to sleeping on your camp bed any day now. Perhaps it's a more acceptable alternative to him than attempting to wrest attention from his fiancée. (She continues to emulate Bellatrix in her dedication to the craft - a fine Auror she'll be, too, if she can manage to refrain from treating her betters with a supercilious look. And Bella, of course, has been smiling like a cat with a particularly fat pigeon in its grasp. No one wants to ask what she's about - though it is not hard to guess.)

Go careful.
