Too right, it's good to have something useful to do.

As for leaving us alone, he made rather a show of it, so it's not as if this was any kind of accident or stroke of luck.

A show.... I say, it does make one wonder how committed he is to all the ideals of the Protectorate. Some of them, certainly, but no more than, say, Draco's parents. They've been convinced to work alongside us, in their way. I wish one could be more positive that Antonin would aid us more directly if he were given the chance.

The problem is I can't think of how to provide the opportunity without putting us all at great risk, if we're wrong.

Yeah, I think the thing is you can't.

Only, you can work on building as much credit with him as possible--doing what you've been doing, yeah?--and if there's ever a chance to put him in your debt, snatch it. And then go about your business, knowing that maybe, sometime it'll all pay a dividend when you really need that. Or it won't. And if it doesn't, well. You're no worse off that you'd have been if you'd never had a connection with him. Course, if it does pay off, then it'll have been worth it.

Worth it. Yes.

Quite right, old man. No worse off, indeed.
