Private message to Lucius Malfoy

[alt_rachel]

Still at Saltash?

I came back to the Ministry to look at Carter Prentiss's file. Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing whatsoever remarkable about it. Nonetheless, it's in a safe place.

Do you know when Corax Mulciber is likely to return to work? I would guess not tomorrow, but I've been wrong about that sort of thing before.

Should have anticipated we might be interrupted.

Do you mind waiting a while longer? I'd like to go over those figures again when this meeting is at an end. Should not be more than ... another thirty minutes or so.

[alt_rachel]

You'll find me more or less where you left me.

If I've fallen asleep, you can wake me up.

[alt_lucius]

Good.

No late date with 'Johnny' then?

[alt_lucius]

Or 'Mafalda'?

[alt_rachel]

No. And if I'd made one, I'd cancel it anyway.

[alt_lucius]

Good.

Stay put. Back soon.

Bloody Corax Mulciber didn't much take the bait on the Mafalda thing anyway. I should've talked Lana into agreeing to a fake affair -- that would have been more credible, at least she's young and pretty instead of old and wrinkly.
