alt_dracoI went to Saltash to see my father yesterday. Figured I'd give a brief overview of our conversation, since it offers us a Death Eater's view of events. Always a right treat to get that, am I right?
On Gringott's I think he was more impressed than he cared to let on. Possibly he hadn't realised that the goblins could be useful allies, or maybe he just thinks flying a dragon sounds snitch. Anyway, I told him that we've got rid of five horcruxes by now, and he re-iterated what he's said before, that there will be eight of them total.
As for what happened over the weekend at Dover, Mould-on-the-Wood, and the Metalworks - well, he was flatly surprised that Dumbledore seized Dover, and described MLEs response as acts of desperation rather than calculated strategy and clever tactics. Hydra, I described what happened between you, your mother, and Voldemort, and Father said that Voldemort probably wasn't pleased with Bella's strategy at Mould-on-the-Wood, but that he's also probably getting bored with her, and may possibly see you as her replacement. Which I realise has got to be completely unsettling, but at least you know your cover is air-tight.
I don't know. Even though he doesn't say as much out loud, I think he likes hearing about any progress we've made.
But even if my father is helping us, a little, and even though he appears to support (or at least not openly criticise) the advancements we've made, the only goal he fully shares with us is the removal of Voldemort, and that hasn't changed since he's been at Saltash. He's not going to like the society we erect to replace the Protectorate, and if he were able, he'd fight against it. And that's probably something to keep in mind when dealing with people like Dolohov, Desai, Crouch, or any of the rest of them. We're doing their dirty work, destroying the monster they helped to create. They'll probably be alright with that (excepting Bellatrix), but they're not going to like the rest of it.
Anyway, not terribly useful but there it is.

I don't know what to do about it. Nothing, I guess. Or just wait and see.
