ORDER ONLY. Messrs. Macnair and Snape.

[alt_albus]

It would, all things considered, be advisable to trust Messrs. Macnair & Snape. Many people, after all, have hidden depths.

I shall look forward to conversing with them upon my return. (And, of course, to seeing the rest of you all.)

What return? When?

You can't mean to say you want Minerva to swear them into the Order? That's madness.

[alt_mcgonagall]

Truly, Albus?

I suppose it must be as you say.

I wish you would tell us your plans. Or where you are. Or any thing.

[alt_frank]

that's all we get? after three years, that's all we get?

[alt_bill]

Bloody hell. What?!

[alt_alice]

I'm glad to see you're alive, Albus.

This is more than a little unexpected. I know you have your reasons, and I wish you'd share more with us about what they are -- if we're to take this big of a risk, and so soon, it would be best to know where you're coming from.

Thank you for your advice.

Well. Albus. A timely surprise.

I've something I've wished and wished I could ask you, and now here you are and of a mind to offer recommendations.

Would you, all things considered, think it a wise investment towards my retirement to put money in a scheme being offered me by the persistent Messrs Forke & Shovelle? They offer to bring me in as a silent partner in their redevelopment of Milton Keynes as a new spa and resort, and they say the potential for future returns is simply vast.

I'm not certain it's a wise investment, given the past uses of the properties in question and their current state of, well, considerable disrepair.

What would you advise?
