Private message to Lucius Malfoy and Antonin Dolohov

Right.

I'm done. Just done.

If she walks out of Court instead of having her corpse disposed of by Nagini, I say we dispose of her before she returns to Hogwarts. My apologies to Raz and his concerns for his reputation, but are we not Councilwizards? If we can't manage to persuade the Prophet to print what we need them to print, that just means it's time to replace the editors.

ENOUGH with trying to woo Peakes and the others back to our side. This country does not run on the popular vote like some muggle 'republic.' Dolores's head needs to be separated from her body and hung on someone's bloody wall; the only question is whether we need to draw lots to determine who does the separating and who gets the trophy.

Mm.

Antosha, any thoughts on this? You have readier access to Harry than either myself or Lucius. Can you ... advise him, somehow?

I have been hinting at him in as direct a fashion as I dare, but the boy is damnably slow to pick up subtext. I agree with Lucius that direct discussion of the matter is likely to go poorly with Our Lord, but I will try one last time to convey what I can.

It would help considerably if the boy were not less Slytherin than Minerva's left shoe

Sadly, he has the killer instinct of a wet grape -- his instinct is the shield, not the sword -- but several of his nearest and dearest have a bit more edge to them. I may be able to provide the nudge a little more indirectly.
