ORDER ONLY - Pensieve

Miss Granger was not entirely forthcoming.

While the letter checks out - the memory is fuzzy but accurate to what she told us; she simply does not recall the details, even in her deepest subconscious - there was another aspect of it. Snape enclosed a picture of Harry Marvolo's parents - and him - as a baby, and asked Hermione to pass it along to Harry. She did so, knowing that we would tell her that it was rash; this was why she dawdled on her way to my office; she was passing the photograph along.

She is in disgrace. I have sent her to find Marvolo and the photograph and bring them here. I can only hope that there is no curse on the thing.

I've sworn him to silence, and I believe Hermione to be encouraging him there as well. I've had to tell Rabastan, however. I don't believe that Harry will keep it secret from him, no matter how honestly he intended to swear; and in any case it will seem less irresponsible of me, should the break-in ever be revealed more widely.
