RP: Alastor, Jamie, Severus Who: Alastor Moody, James Sirius Potter, Severus Snape Where: Hogwarts, Security Office When: Sunday, 29 August, 2025, morning Summary: Rescue plans and intelligence proposals. These three never discuss anything boring.
Alastor had sent a message to the others once the morning routine was settled for the day, requesting a meeting. He'd been mulling over the idea of how to use Black's intelligence most of the night after the young man left -- much to Marlene's chagrin, he was sure, as he hadn't slept much after.
Once the others were in the office and they were behind closed doors, Alastor launched straight into business, as was his wont.
"I had a late-night wake-up call from Black last night. I don't know how that man keeps getting news before we do, but I want it." He chuckled drily. "It seems there was an incident at Macnair's wedding last night, involving Black's relation, Belvina, and the delightfully charming duo of Lestrange and Greyback. I'm sure I don't need to go into details about what happened. We can all imagine what was done to her.
"The crux of the matter is twofold. First, he wants us to find a way to get her inside the castle before anything else happens. Honestly, I can't blame him. If it had been a woman of my family in that position, there'd be hell to pay. Be that as it may, I think it might be an option, if we put our heads together on the details.
"Second, I want to find a way to use Black's information network. We have almost nothing for an intelligence network ourselves and we need access to his 'Slytherin gossip mill', to borrow someone else's phrase. I'd like to propose we find a way to levy it for our purposes, even if that means having to put him in charge of a new Intelligence Team to do it."
