Private message to Jason Montague

Are you also at Buckingham?

You asked me where I wish I could go. It's not so much -- what I really want is to be useful, you know? I don't have anything much to do right now. I don't

Auror Lestrange asked me to try to persuade Padma to come back but she's not answering me and I don't think it's going to work.

I'm pretty good at Imperius. It's something Mr Rosier had me work on with a tutor during my summer holidays.

For the duelling, think there's anyone inclined to practise with me?

[alt_jason]

Keep practising. If the wind's blowing the way I think it is, we'll be making heavy use of that particular expertise in the weeks to come.

We've all got hot heels around here. Find someone who's not busy, and not hopeless, and ask them if they're inclined.

[alt_seamus]

Are you busy?

You said Auror Lestrange might send you somewhere soon, but obviously she hasn't yet.

I said our new head of MLE, which shows what you know, Ireland. That's Crouch, and it so happens he doesn't care for me much. A while back, when we were in Ireland out on an Op, I took a risk that got his old man hurt. He's failed to see my worth ever since. That's why I was working for Rachel in sodding MEU, instead.

Got a dinner date tonight, but not much on til then.

[alt_seamus]

Oh. Yeah. Being in Buckingham doesn't mean I know much of anything.

Come duel?

[alt_jason]

Circe's tits, you've got it in your head that I'm nice, haven't you? Approachable.

It's now blazingly evident why Crouch doesn't care for me.

In addition to the aforementioned reasons.

Is it accurate that you're staying in Harry's old neck of the Palace?

If so, I'll come there. Better to play the escort that wait for half an hour while you try to find your way around.

[alt_seamus]

I am staying in Harry's old rooms, yes.

I'll see you soon.
