Private message to Barty Crouch, Jr and Bellatrix Lestrange

[alt_selwyn]

Received word from Our Lord this morning that the Fleet family is to be excised, 'root and branch.'

I'm sure your people will be allowed to complete interrogations first, however. Do you know how much longer you'll want with them?

My orders are to handle the youngest.

The boy might prove useful yet for extracting more information from the parents.

However, I don't believe he'll be needed for much longer.

[alt_selwyn]

When should I come? Is he still at the house, or MLE headquarters, or...?

[alt_crouch_jr]

Believe you could dispose of it. Currently at the Fleet residence under guard.

The parents can be manipulated without its actual presence. Truncheon confident.

Recommend doing directly what is ordered, in any case. No good comes of allowing oneself time to soften towards the young.

[alt_selwyn]

I'm sure you're right.

I'll be there in a few minutes.
