I've got good reasons to touch almost anything in his office. There's almost nothing I could do to his office that would be suspicious. That may change in the Headmaster's office. We'll see. If I fumble the quaffle and make him think I intend him harm, I'll be dead whenever he wants. He'll just surprise me and it'll be all over. but the torture and the dying It's only fair. That's my plan for him, whenever Alice your m the Order says I'll step behind him and well thing will end. One way or another.

He knows my first loyalty flies with Harry, unless and until he suspects Harry of more than wanting to reform the Protectorate and protecting people anything suspicious that I'd do will fall under 'helping Harry'. If he believes Harry is a traitor our goose's well and thoroughly cooked.

The more I work with him the weirder Slytherin thinking gets. Everything has two, three or more motives. It's all pieces moving about on a crazy multidimensional chess board where every move makes half a dozen different things happen. My goals are so simple and he over complicates it.
