The Prime Minister's first, foolish thought was that Rufus Scrimgeour looked rather like an old lion.

[ WARDED TO ALASTOR MOODY. ]
If you're not busy, I think I need somebody to slap some sense into me about this. I don't know why I'm being like this when the full moon is still days away. And it isn't like me to be bothered by something for so long. But I need to man up and get over it when it's been three days now.

We know Avery is guilty. And we know he knowingly and willingly passed on what Alice told him about being the one who killed Wilkes to Mulciber and the other Death Eaters. I know he must have been the one to tell Greyback about the trap we had set for him in January. And I have no doubt he was the one who leaked my home address in June during the events leading up to what happened with Brimstone.

But I just put something else together that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since Tuesday. Everything about that night in October makes sense now. I thought Greyback just happened to have stalked me at the right time somehow. And I knew deep down that it was too coincidental. But the more I think about it, the more I know Avery must have told the Death Eaters I was going home. If it weren't for him, and if we had been able to arrest him months ago when we suspected he was the leak, I wouldn't be crippled and have my field career ruined. And I wouldn't be such a terrible Head Auror, not being able to lead from the front or truly be able to do what I ask of all of you to do as my subordinates. I'm not even any good at being an administrator. I was chosen to be Deputy Head Auror years ago because of my field command skills, and now I just sit in my office all day. And I don't blame Alice, and I would do everything I did that night again if I had to. But I still can't help thinking about what a waste everything was.

You can berate me for being weak and wallowing in things that can't be changed now.
[ END WARDS. ]
