Order Only Private message to Rachel

When you have a moment, I was wondering -

I think I could use your advice, actually. How did you end up spying on Lucius for Ridley? Was it an assignment you were given, or was it an opportunity that sort of fell into your lap, and you took it upon yourself to get closer to him?

And as for the spying, how did it actually work? Did you just keep your eyes and ears open, or was it more involved than that?

He did, when I was thirteen. I had just played the part of his younger counterpart in a school play about the Liberation of the Ministry, written by none other than Karoline Baddock, née Moon. He found the whole thing terribly distasteful, but apparently felt bad (hard to imagine, from him?) that he might have hurt my feelings with his response.

But no, he didn't know what red roses meant. Not terribly cunning, that.

Clearly, it had never come up in an Auror investigation before.

Clearly.

But he's been a regular in Witch Weekly's "most eligible bachelors" list for what, decades?

If you're on a list, though, you're probably not used to having to try.

No, I imagine that if he's in the mood for that sort of thing he mostly just refrains from dodging.
