[Private to Severus, Demetrius, Barty and Corbina]
Tell me what you know of Lily Potter.

Aside from the obvious. Friends, family, interests, anything that might be used to draw her out of hiding.

[Private to Marius, Corbina, Rabastan and Walden]
Frank and Alice Longbottom are the ones who killed Rodolphus.

This is not for you to act upon or share. Just to know. Our vengeance will be had at the hand of our Lord himself.

Most of her friends are dead or in our control. The only acquaintance or friend I can think of that is alive and remains at large is Mary MacDonald but I don't believe she'd be easy to find. If I recall correctly her parents are also dead, but I could be misremembering. I can't think of anything specific that would lure her out without fail, but we do have her (ex?) husband in our possession and could threaten him with death if she doesn't comply, though there's no guarantee that it would work out well.

	Her parents are dead. Most of her friends are dead. Her husband is the best bet but I doubt Charlus Potter will be pleased with you threatening to kill him considering how successfully he has been rehabilitated. And if we threaten and do not follow through it will only make us look weak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We lived in the same neighbourhood so we were friends before Hogwarts, she was sorted into Gryffindor, I was sorted into Slytherin - she dislikes Slytherins - or was taught to, the difference is immaterial. Demetrius is correct that it was slightly longer then the moment she got sorted into Gryffindor, but the end result was the same.

If you want something that will work, her husband, or possibly one of the other vigilantes currently in the rehabilitation centre are better options. I'm unconvinced she care remotely about me and I honestly believe it would be a waste of time.

You should not underestimate my creativity. I am certain I can dream up some way to make use of you if I wish.

I am still gathering information. And you are clearly best suited to provide it. Details, Severus. Where did you grow up? Might she have any remaining connection to the area? Places of sentimental values? Surviving friends or family? Whatever ridiculous things Mudbloods get attached to. Perhaps a landmark or two to burn down. And when was the last time you spoke with her? What was the reason for your falling out? Aside from your sorting. I have gathered that much.

I am not some fourth tier Death Eater Bellatrix, and you are trying my patience.

[Bellatrix]

Do you think I have no idea what you are after and will so easily provide you information I have worked to gather? A position within the Inner Circle is earned, not given out like candy. The idea of you receiving the glory for my work is not convincing me to feel charitable.

And what patience I possessed died with my husband.

I remain Mrs Lestrange.

[Severus]
I have made no secret of what I am after, Severus. Lily Potter and her child will die. It is our Lord's command. And I am certain He would not wish to learn that your pride and unwillingness to play well with others kept His will from being carried out.

If He were satisfied with the progress you were making with the task, He would not have given it to me.

Then I shall readjust mine and wait until you remember that I do not answer to you.

[Bellatrix]
Certainly He would not, but only one of us has a history of such sins, Mrs Lestrange.

The Dark Lord knows the information that I know. If He wished for you to know it so easily you would not be asking me these questions. Clearly He has determined you should retrieve it on your own, and I would not go against His will.

	It was an exaguration but the point remains that she took a disliking to me and I am hard pressed to find a reason why she would care at this point.

Her parents are already dead. I saw to that last year. As far as friends go, there's Mary MacDonald, like Demetrius said. And Marlene McKinnon, who's dead too, and Tabitha Bagnold, whom I'm sure you can access easily. I recall she was also friendly with Emmeline Vance, as they were both prefects in the same year. And there's Lupin, who was a prefect with her for one year, I think. Severus might know better. Interests, I remember Slughorn praising her for her skills in Charms and Potions at Slug Club meetings, if that helps at all.

Yes, ma'am. I apologise for my lapse in judgment and will endeavour not to do it again. I agree with Severus and Corbina above that Potter is likely the best bet for now though. As for other surviving Muggle family, I don't recall finding such evidence at her parents' house. But perhaps Potter can be convinced to share that information with Travers, or Bagnold might know something, should Severus not.
