Order Only Private Message to H Lestrange

Thought you might want to know this.

Just had a report come in from Kiddlington, northeast of Oxford. Another murder. Neighbour found Annetta Rickett dead. Same kind of scene.

Neighbour = Stribella Punt. Says she didn't touch anything once she'd got to the kitchen and found the body, but she admitted she'd straightened up some things in the lounge before she realised.

Address = Old Orchard Cottage, Church Ln, Charlton-on-Otmoor, Kiddlington

I can give you probably 45 minutes before I have to report it to Harkiss. (She's out having a fly round the lake.) Unless you want an investigator to meet you there.

I'll head there now and be done in thirty minutes.

Thanks for the report.

[alt_hydra]

Wasn't she a school Governor?

I'm about to leave, but yes, it's the same as the others.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Yeah, she was.

And she'd come over to us, apparently. I've been looking up what we have on her. Wright's been negotiating with the Governors about our use of the school and when we'll have to shift out. Anywiz, Rickett's a halfblood. She voted in favour of sacking Dolohov. Those look like the biggest reasons he might've gone after her. That we've got notes on, anywiz.

[alt_hydra]

Then it's possible he'll next target the other Governors who supported sacking Dolohov.

Do you think either Harkiss or Wright could send me the names on that list?

[alt_ron]

Sorry. To keep you waiting. Yeah. Wright's compiling it and will PM you.

[alt_hydra]

I made it to the Moons. Barty had been here, but it looks as if they're away on holiday. There were instructions left for watering the plants and feeding the cats.

I don't think he'll bother to track them down, but just move on to whoever he was planning to target next.

[alt_hydra]

He got to the Peakes. The other MLE is there now.

Don't worry, they didn't catch me. I was looking at the scene through Draco's omniculars.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. They just reported that one on the wireless.

You know, Mr Peakes was Dean Thomas's foster father? Not a nice bloke. At all.

Not that that means he deserved to be killed by Crouch.

[alt_hydra]

Oh, yes. That Mr Peakes.

No. No one does, really.

Well, not no one, but the list is short.

[alt_ron]

Put Crouch himself at the top of that list!

We wish.
