Order Only - Private message to Alice Longbottom

My dear lady, several matters.

I have been giving some thought to the wards, and their layered effects. I become more convinced we would do best to unravel them in reverse order of their casting, which brings several challenges. More than several.

Also, I remain uneasy about the demands of the Fidelius variant, but I believe my tests to determine who could cast it profitably are as complete as they will be.

I have thought or two regarding horcruxes, as well.

Right. I see. And on top of it all, we have a due date to factor in, don't we?

So the first move would be the bait-and-switch the ad-hoc committee is planning for October, yes?

[alt_albus]

Indeed, yes. I believe that should be a significant priority.

From there, we can work on finding a figure suitable for undoing the work of the Dark Rite, and then consider the initial wards from eighty-three.

Poppy spoke to me this week about the question of Aurora Sinistra. If I recall some of her research correctly, she would be particular help on the earliest wards, and quite possibly the others as well.

And your thought or two?

I've been thinking about putting Draco to work on that, by the way. I think he'd be suited for it, and Merlin knows he's got a powerful need to be useful at the moment.
