Private message to Barty Crouch Jr and Bellatrix Lestrange

Meg's all yours, Auror Lestrange. I'm confident you can ensure some 'permanent damage.' She might be useful later as an object lesson but it's probably not worth the trouble to keep her alive. (It largely depends on whether we care if word gets around that the damage was from MLE, not from some mysterious curse cast by the Dogstar traitors. St Mungo's will certain know the difference. Do we have a secure ward of trustworthy Healers? They leaked like a sieve during the epidemic.)

Barty -- we've established they are at least reading the journal, but they're more than willing to turn their backs on members who get captured, at least low-level members. We should talk about whether we want to share the code name Auror Lestrange learned -- someone might have heard it used, but on the other hand, it might give them a certain glamour we'd rather avoid.

His training was not thorough, if he had it. He let the girl get a lasting impression of his face.

Were the body still on display, I'd suggest staking out the lines to watch for recruitment activity, but as that's no longer possible I currently have one of the assistants combing the calender, looking for events where feelings about the Protectorate, be they good or ill, are most likely to be roused.
