alt_daphneDraco and Hermione, this is mostly addressed to you, but I'm writing it to all just in case you aren't available to make the pick-up.
At 7:30pm tonight I'll be having supper with Barty here at Hogwarts, and right at that exact time, my two house elves, Kippy and Beesey, will arrive just outside the Hogsmeade safehouse. They'll have Barty's elf, Winky, with them, and - if all goes as planned - Winky will have the Roman Eagle. If things do not go as planned, Kippy and Beesey will be holding down a very upset and distraught Winky.
When I was thinking of how to possibly breach Barty's careful security in order to get the Roman Eagle, it occurred to me that his house elves would be able to fetch it whenever they liked. And since Barty told his elves to regard me as their Mistress, my hope is that Winky will comply when Kippy and Beesey go to her. They'll tell her that Barty and I are requesting the Roman Eagle for a special operation, then escort her to Hogsmeade. I've told Kippy and Beesey to remain discreet and out of sight of the village.
Draco, once you and Hermione arrive, Winky will figure out that she's been hoodwinked, and she's liable to become overwrought. You'll have to obliviate her memory and ensure that she doesn't pose a security risk. I can't afford to have her raise Barty's suspicions in any way. With any luck, it will be several weeks before he discovers that the Roman Eagle is gone. And when that happens - well, we'll figure that out when the time comes.
Good luck!
