Private message to Bellatrix Lestrange

alt_savithaI had a thoroughly interesting conversation with your daughter this morning, Bellatrix. She believes Antonin Dolohov to be guilty of treason -- specifically, that he's been aiding the escape of various traitors from the castle. He warded Aurora Sinistra's tower so that she was alerted in time to escape; she says he wrote to Evelyn Longbottom, saying something innocuous to warn her to flee; and she believes he knew that Draco was alive, though she hasn't been able to confirm it.
Could you have journal monitoring check his conversations with Aurora and the Longbottom girl?
Do you think this is merely Hydra attempting to throw suspicion in any direction that's not toward herself? I've asked her for some specific information that we'll be able to double-check later, though frankly this is just not a good week to try to find out anything more complex than which exams everyone is most worried about. Once NEWTs are over, the 7th years should be a bit more relaxed and revealing.
I assume you're occupied with the search for young Marvolo, but I thought I ought to let you know what Hydra told me. She said she didn't say anything before because she wasn't sure, and hesitated to accuse someone so respected and powerful without extensive evidence; Barty's mentorship of her, and Antonin's of Barty, also complicated matters. Needless to say, my own position here relative to Antosha also creates a certain amount of awkwardness, but believe me, I'll be keeping a careful eye on him.

As to Draco - it would not surprise me, though that was likely driven by my sister's helpless bleating. You'll note that she's now living behind Fidelius, like other traitors.
Tosha insisted he be granted that very task, in fact. I now regret that I allowed him to insert himself into MLE business at all.
