ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Cedric, Remus, and Sirius

[alt_alice]

Cedric, love, I’m arriving at Dover with Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy within the hour. Thank you for working to make arrangements in Calais. The Vow has been successfully administered, and they've had the morning to get their things in order, so I'm not anticipating any problems on our end of things.

I hope that doesn't turn out to be something Draco regrets. He's collecting enough of those to last a lifetime. But for now, he's right not to see them. He's in no shape for it and it might have unravelled everything we'd just settled. You're right that the sooner Lucius is off British soil, the better.

And yes, we're liable to be in some hot water over the level of clemency we're extending to one of Voldemort's top men. It's the best thing for Draco, in the long run, though - and right now I can't stand the thought of breaking his heart any worse.

When they start calling for our heads over it, Allie, just remember that we let Lucius go for Draco, not for himself.

Yes.

And for that reason, I'm perfectly willing to take whatever blows come of it.

At least he'll be able to visit in France.
