Summary: Marlene thinks about the latest attacks
Marlene sat in her chair. She was leaning back, arm on the arm rest, and feet on her desk. She kept staring at the walls of her cubicle. On them, she had attached every article and report about Voldemort. Soon enough, she'll make her own notes, and then she'd memorise everything until she could tell what Voldemort had done better than the man himself. It's how she works, and how she'd been so successful undercover. She was that good at reading people. Except Alastor, she mentally added.
She looked at the report about the latest attacks. She had known all along that the stadium was nothing more than a decoy, but she would have never guessed Mould-On-the-Wold. The Hogwarts Express would have been a great target, so why not? Because Voldemort still needed the purebloods of this time, since they were the ones with the political power. Killing their children would have compacted the wizarding world against him. Hogwarts was also left alone, possibly because now that Snape was there, Voldemort was afraid.
Fear!
It wasn't something that she would have considered in her own time, but the attacked proved that Voldemort was afraid of Dumbledore, just as he should be. She didn't think the attack was aimed at the Aurors, but at the Order. Why did she feel that way? She thought about the mechanics of the attack, what made her think Order and not Aurors? Fuck, she really hated it when she reached a conclusion and couldn't explain why, because for all the talk of 'gut' and 'instinct', they weren't random conclusion, but educated guesses based on many little things that other people didn't pick up. The doors! They would stop people from going out, but it would take a lot more than Aurors to open them. The attacks inside were aimed at causing chaos, but direct attacks on the Aurors were avoided. No, they weren't interested in the Aurors.
So what was Voldemort up to?
Arianna Dumbledore's tomb! What was there? It couldn't be anything from her death. Dumbeldore had told her that the family had left for Godric's Hollow after her death and he hadn't returned there in his lifetime. They hadn't placed anything there, and that meant that Voldemort had planted something there. When? Probably late 50s or after, because she couldn't imagine him being so fixated with Dumbledore before then. Again, talking to the Headmaster, she had learnt that he had applied for a job and was turned down, casting a curse on the job. That must have started it, time to plan it. Yes, whatever was there had to be put there after the 50s. All of that didn't help her with the what.
Her eyes fell on the image of the tree in Albania. Information! Voldemort had scattered information, things that would help him. His research, his studies, his plans? They were all possible guesses, possibly a little of both. Were there others? She thought so. Two attacks, two sets of memories, and two sounded wrong. No, not two. It had to be three. Three was the perfect number. Three the sides of the mark. Three felt right. Where was the other?
