Ask me anything!

I am Rachel Brodie, former head of Albion MLE, Order of the Phoenix member, Dogstar member, and general troublemaker. Ask me anything!

Several of my old Aurors promised to come by and answer questions as well -- Ron Weasley, Hydra Finch-Fletchley, Draco Malfoy, Jason Montague -- and they can answer questions, too. And hey, some of our old friends promised to read along so WHO KNOWS what sorts of questions you might be able to get answered (ALICE) (#nopromises)

(If you have questions about the Battle of Penzance, which ended the Albion wizarding war 17 years ago this week, you'll want to ask someone other than me -- I was badly injured the night before it happened, and sat that battle out. But Lee Jordan talked me into this, he seemed to think people would have some questions.)

I actually have to step out for a bit but I promise I'll come back and answer questions later.

I have a question for Jason, actually: what did you know about the McLaggens and their involvement with seditious organizations to make you steer Seamus away from trying to recruit Cormac for DEMLE? Were you, in fact, also Dogstar? Was Bronwyn actually your cat, or another one of your contacts?

Met the McLaggens through Rufus, who was in Auror Training with me before he was expelled. We both took the Mark at the same time, too, as you may or may not recall.

But then that was years ago, wasn't it?

Anyway, Cormac wasn't a good fit for Lady Lestrange's outfit because he wasn't a strong occluder. I could see that he'd tried to learn, but it was more than clear he wouldn't be able stand up to Lady L's scrutiny.

I also didn't think he'd have the patience or temperament to mole for Dogstar at Buckingham and not make a meal of things.

As for me, I was as much a member of Dogstar as I was the Order. Which is to say: a bit.

If you know no one can read your mind, no reason not to have contacts everywhere you can, so long as they're made carefully. Don't you agree?

Bronwen is my sister. Deceased.
