alt_hydraAll right. I saw Rachel's post. What you don't know is that before she killed Mafalda Hopkirk, my mother killed my grandmother's long-time lover, Pascoal. She was trying to find out if he'd ever stolen her hair, and apparently he thought about it, once, because someone made him an offer, and that alone was enough to get him killed.
Aunt Narcissa called me over to the Manor to tell me all of this, and to go call on Nanella. She was terrified of what my mother would do next. They spoke in the journals earlier and Mummy made it sound as if she might go after me next. She said I was a traitor and a failure as a council witch, and she made it clear that she was suspicious of Aunt Narcissa, too.
Trust me when I say that I'm quite certain my mother has no evidence that I'm a traitor. This has more to do with what happened when we went in front of Voldemort than anything else. She has to turn me into her enemy to make sense of what's happened.
My mother can't legilimise me, either, so there's no danger there. She can, however, legilimise Aunt Narcissa, who can occlude but won't be able to withstand my mother's style of interrogation.
In short, Narcissa strongly suspects that I'm involved with the Order now, and she's hoping that I'll confirm it. I've not done so just yet. She wants to cast Fidelius on the manor and keep me here with her, to protect me. Which is unnecessary, honestly, but I do think we need to act in order to keep her out of my mother's range, and Fidelius may be the best and only way to do that. It would also give us another safe house.
I don't want to act without your input.

You have an opportunity to come in, if you wish to.
