Private message to Maghnus Derrick

alt_selwynI have horrifying news for you, Maghnus: Our Lord is dead, cut down by that unworthy traitor, Higgs.
At Court this afternoon, Higgs requested permission from Our Lord to demonstrate some allegedly brilliant new spell -- the rest of us thought we'd stand back and let him make a fool of himself, if he cared to. But he whirled and cast the killing curse. I reacted without thinking, and killed Higgs (unfortunately, this means we may never know who sent him, although we have some guesses that MLE may be able to follow up on -- I'm particularly suspicious that someone from Mysteries was involved, though not Rookwood, certainly.)
Do not under any circumstances let this get out to the papers. In fact, the fewer people outside the council who know at this point, the better. I'd like to get in touch with a few friends, though. Pass the word to Minerva, she certainly ought to know. Stephan Rosier. Antosha.
I'd let someone else be the one to tell Bellatrix Lestrange.
I expect I'll be here answering questions for quite some time. Let Chloe know I'm all right, please, but not to wait up.
