    You complete idiot!

    Conversation in an empty house in Cumbria
    This is perhaps the loveliest key I have ever seen. From here on in, I want everything to be made of iron.

    Conversation at Lucy's On a Plate, Cumbria
    So the blue one? That's the right one, right? Also, can you order for me? I can't make a decision about a house and an entrée in the same night.

    Conversation at Lake Cottage in the dining room
    I just think it shouldn't be so hard to find a place in a muggle neighborhood with other wizards....

    Katya, sweetie, did you take Mummy's dessert knife?

    Don't you think we should at least have two guest rooms?

    On a second sheet of parchment is written this note:

    Marik,

    Will you look this over? We ought to have charged them twice for the security training, their staff was so wretched. I might still make them come to one of my classes at the Academy for the crack the short one made about women in law enforcement.

    We're meeting at the reunion, right? Don't be late. Van said he'd meet us by the lake, though Katya said he might be bringing a date, so be nice if he is. And don't say you're always nice, I remember last time.

    I also expect Gabriel to have something to show us in the greenhouse, and if Isadore talks about staying for the Easter hols, you'll remember what we discussed, ok? Only if Pytor and Yasha also get to spend a weekend at the Weasley's.

    I'm wearing the pink dress, by the way. You know which one. See you there.

    Love,
    Your Vi

    Situation report, please, and be quick about it.

    Patronus Message: Marcellus Dolohov-Snape and Harry Potter
    Ron sighted. In pursuit. Not alone; ample back-up close at hand.

    To Searchers/ All Associates, Missing/Rogue Auror Case Weasley, WardKey NT4967-43
    Several reports suggest target may have relocated or temporarily rested on the Continent. Bit of a snowstorm here so not the best spellwork and had to use quite a bit of our budget on mittens and hot cocoa. No reliable witnesses, but target could have been traveling in a disguise.

    Still waiting for information about the report of an illegal portkey and whether or not it was related to our target.

    Remember, all non-Ministry searchers should be teamed with an Auror, Hit Wizard, Magical Animal Handler, or other individual certified in apprehension and transportation of a high risk target at all times.

    Replies with information updates can be tracked back to this notice, though if you're owling, send a few wool scarves.

    Darling, can you hand me my shirt? I think it's over on your side of the bed.

    Owl Post: Harry Potter, Brown's Hotel, London
    Harry,

    Rule 19(b) my arse. If you kissed him and then you argued, then you know full well that it's Rules 14 and 15 that apply. Namely the parts about being sure that you actually are going to go through with breaking up. Arguing means you still care. Both of you. So don't try and tell me you think he doesn't give a shit. That is, in fact, exactly the opposite of what's going on.

    The results on the Hogwarts owl came back, and with no useful information, other than further supporting the fact that Marcellus appears to still be in London. I'd almost rather have gotten news he was in Russia. I could mount a rescue mission to Russia. Mounting a rescue mission a few blocks from your hotel? Or in Bloomsbury? It sounds ridiculous. There has to be some explanation for why, if he's so damn close, he can't tell us he's fine.

    I might go back into work if I can't sleep again tonight. I know I can't set a bunch of Aurors on a case which isn't really a case yet, but I can still try to see if there are any patterns in the paperwork that might give us a clue.

    You should stay over at Lake Cottage again soon. And try talking to Draco, about something other than Marcellus. You can argue if you have to, since arguing counts for something, but talking is better than arguing. And that's so obvious we didn't even put it in the rules.

    Owls sent to: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, Viktor Krum, Ron Weasley
    Update protocol [784-4] Auror Nymphadora Tonks
    Case Subject: Marcellus Dolohov-Snape
    Classification: Pre-official status X5: POI (Person of Interest); X34: Auror Relative

    - Hogwarts bird (Eagle owl, tag 576-eo-h) still undergoing trace testing at Ministry Facility 5.9, last update 6PM.
    - Three Ministry Class 1 test owls returned each after 1.45 hours, appeared confused, letter undeliverable and opened.
    - Follow-up visit with Viktor Krum confirms information in Evidence Envelope 2 (owl-delivered letter.) Krum exhibited no traces of Imperius, Obliviation, or other conciousness-tampering.

    Auror notes: I'm wishing Marcellus and I had established some sort of private and secure person-to-person communication method. We spent the war on opposite sides, for Merlin's sake, we ought to have come up with something. As it was, I was either breaking into his house or he was breaking into mine, so, that really did us no good other than to know each other's tastes in wards.

    I have a number of theories, and thus potential avenues of investiagation, but the longer we don't hear from him, the more ridiculous those explanations seem and the suspicios I become that he has actually been kidnapped, captured, or detained.

    I'll be in the sitting room of Lake Cottage this evening if anyone's interested in a strategy session.

    Warded Owl Post: Viktor Krum
    Viktor,

    I'm sorry to bother you this evening, but I couldn't really sleep if I waited to ask until morning. Do you know where Marcellus is? There are some mysteries lingering around his abrupt disappearance this weekend, and it was suspected perhaps you might have asked him to handle some business for you? You needn't tell me what it is, and this isn't official Ministry territory or anything. Yet. I'm just concerned. And unsettled.

    If you know where he is, just tell me that you know, and I'll be reassured.

    Note left just inside the door of Marcellus' quarters
    My Marik,

    I have reservations at Alinea, don't even ask how I managed that. Or if Chicago is too far away for a school night, should we get take-out from Thanasi's? Assuming, of course, that you're free for dinner. You could have detentions to give or plans to meet a friend at a pub or something, who knows?

    I love you.

    Your Vi

    Under the note is a small wrapped package containing a framed candid photograph of Marcellus holding Van and Katya from a few months ago, and a small brown bag containing the best keemun/Tarry Souchong tea blend from St. Petersburg.

    Perhaps this really isn't the best timing, but I wanted you all to know. I got engaged last night.

    Owl Post: Harry Potter
    Harry,

    You just let me know what you need, ok? If it's to be left alone, then, well, fine, but just not for too long, all right?

    I love you.

    Marik? Are you there?

    Auror Field Training Report, Form 8, part 2a: Keycode 7438wcd, reporting official: Auror Tonks
    Noticed a storm on the horizon about an hour ago. Not ordinarily a problem since the trainees have all passed level 4, which covers weather issues, but apparently this area of Pembrokeshire suffers from intermittent magical dead zones when storms pass over the coast, something Dawlish does not appear to have researched. (Add a note to Auror Lively's file: excellent at proactive research.)

    Forecast from the storm (as per a local Muggle at the docks) is heavy winds and rain, possible flooding of low areas, expected to lessen around 4 AM. Decision as it stands is to continue with the field exercise.
