Private message to Bellatrix Lestrange

[alt_corax]

Surely you aren't under the impression that you're needed here.

You overstep yourself again, Corax. Exposing nonpersons to the magical arts is MLE's jurisdiction, not PA's. I can't imagine why Cadmus neglected to alert Mafalda, but I'm sure it wasn't at all intentional.

[alt_corax]

Naturally, because who better to question a suspected young criminal than his own affectionate auntie?

This one isn't for you. Or Barty, for that matter. If you think an auror's needed, send over someone who isn't a close blood relative of the principle accused.

[alt_bellatrix]

Yes, all across the Protectorate I am well-known for the affectionate sentimentality I hold for my family.

Do not attempt to order me, Corax. I answer to a higher authority than you.

[alt_corax]

Don't try to tell me Our Lord ordered you here. If you'd been to Court this morning, I'd know.

[alt_bellatrix]

No. If our Lord disapproves of my actions, then He will make it known in good time.

I don't care if you disapprove.

See you at the castle.
