I've been thinking about last night at Maidstone. The plan was to go in, strike, and then take off before they could properly respond, so we left when reinforcements turned up. There were a few wizards there when we arrived, though.

And, I've been thinking about this. I got just a quick look at one of them, and it was dark and there was a lot of smoke. But I think -- it might have been Sirius Black. I didn't write to Bellatrix or send word back to MLE because I would have felt such an idiot if it had turned out to be some other dark-haired bloke with a beard. Also, I was along as a trainee, and Wreston wasn't saying anything, and -- but the more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure that's who I saw. Only I'm not sure now if I'm accidentally playing a trick on myself, you know? I don't know if I'm remembering properly what I really saw or not.

Anyway I don't think I'd better tell Bellatrix that maybe I spotted Sirius Black last night and didn't say anything.

How do you think I'm coming along, with the occlumency?

You want to know if you're skilled enough to keep something from Lady Lestrange?

I can see that you practising has made a difference, but she's a much stronger legilimens than I. I don't know what she'd see.

But with the way her behaviour and temperament have been of late, it might be better to tell her, magnanimous as she's been. Especially as it would be in keeping with the helpful nature you've already established.

I could tell her for you, too.
