ORDER ONLY
Apr. 19th, 2014 09:39 amI had my long-overdue meeting with Rachel Brodie this morning, and I believe we sorted out a great deal in a way that was satisfactory to both parties.
She wants to join up with the Order, and after spending some time talking through our long-term goals and practices, I think we’re both on the same page, and I agree that she’d be a good fit for us.
Currently, her obligation to Dogstar is her main priority, and will continue to be as such until she’s formally quit of them and joined our organisation. I respect her loyalty, and believe the exchange we bargained for with Ridley is a fair one, and now that we’re no longer experiencing a shortage of materials, we can afford the fee. Furthermore, I believe it would be in our best interests to not actively make enemies with Dogstar by snaffling a valuable operative from under them without the agreed upon process, and maintaining contact would be useful rather than burning all bridges. Along those lines, once we’ve sorted out the particulars, Rachel expects that she will continue to pass along intel to Dogstar from the Auror’s office, but we agreed that her primary duties and obligations would be with the Order, and as such, she would not be passing along information to Dogstar about us unless we explicitly told her to, and that if we needed her to edit her reports to Ridley or pass along communication from us she would do so.
She will be an incredible asset to the Order. I also hope that our working together will be good for her as well, and that we can show her a future worth fighting for.
We were able to spend some time at the end of our meeting reminiscing about her parents, Melinda and Carmichael Brodie – such good people. Carmichael was an incredible Auror, unfailingly optimistic when it came to thinking the best of people, and Melinda was so sharp. She put together that I was pregnant with Neville before Frank and I had told a soul. We were at tea, and I’d had a chamomile and was complaining about how hot the weather had been, and she just quirked her eyebrow and asked me if Moody knew the good news yet.
I look forward to her joining us. Her parents would’ve been so proud of her, and I’m glad we’ve found her again after so many years.
