Both of them stood up. Fabian got to start: "As most of you know, both of us are well-versed in contract law and bindings. Our remit includes the basics of some powerful bindings like Unbreakable Vows and the operation of the Fidelius, even though they're not exactly in daily use. As you may also recall, we each took a binding oath that's a variant of the Fidelius to ensure our silence on identities and so on and so forth." He carefully did not look at Peter, who had certainly skirted the boundaries of his oath while under the tender care of the Death Eaters.

"On the basis of some theoretical discussion with Gideon, I proposed a test: I should try to talk about my Order involvement with a sympathetic civilian on whom I could rely, and on that basis determine if I was still bound by the oath. Due to the nature of the oath, with the Secret Keeper, as it were, dead, the secrecy of the oath should be bound to each of the oathtakers. Simply, we should each be able to govern our own oaths, and open the secret to other people. And yet, I couldn't discuss it. My tongue was locked, as it was when the Headmaster was alive.

"Ergo, the basic syllogistic logic applies: the oath holds only if the binder isn't dead; the oath held; therefore the holder is not dead." He finished: Albus Dumbledore is alive."

Remus was contemplating whether or not he should go for another couple of pasties, when Fabian finished. He let that truth sit with him. Albus Dumbledore was the one wizard powerful enough and foolish enough to take a chance on him. He had always felt sort of indebted to the man. Remus had only just been able to start to make sense of his death. But now he wasn't.

"So, if he is not dead, then where he is? And why is he not here?" The question was asked to the room as it were rather than anyone in particular. Remus dropped his voice into a lower register before adding. "Don't anyone tell me he likes skee-ball."

	Gideon took up the answer. "We don't know, but we did try to eliminate some possibilities. What we do know is that he's not anywhere we can detect with a location orb, and Hogwarts accepted Headmistress McGonagall, but it's more like he's only dead for tax purposes, as it were." "I think we need to find him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Remus nudged Sirius at the last comment. Between the lot of them, they were quite good at tracking people. And that was when they were kids. "Alright. So a tracking spell better than a location orb. I think I might have a few ideas." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter hadn't been a huge help in creating the Map, but he had learned a lot from being there. Remus' nudge at Sirius didn't go unnoticed and he had a feeling they were being volunteered here. He looked at Remus for a moment but he didn't say anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Remus caught Peter's eye and gave a small nod. Back in research mode. (Reply to this) (Parent)
