The kitchen in the Safe House was getting rather crowded and 
Sneaky the House Elf was hard at work keeping the pop tarts 
coming. But besides Cindy, two Elkinses, Melody, and Coney the 
killer rabbit, there was someone, or something, else, as yet 
unnoticed.

> "No, really," insisted Cindy.  "Crouch Jr. kills his father.  Then 
> he tells us he carried Crouch Sr.'s body into the forest 
> and 'covered it with the Invisibility Cloak.'  So why wouldn't Mrs. 
> Longbottom be smart enough to use that same technique?
> 
> "In fact, if you really want to have some fun, you can imagine 
what might have happened when law enforcement arrived at the 
Longbottoms'  house and found them insane.  The Pensieve 
Four wouldn't have  discovered Neville because he was stunned 
and lying under an invisibility cloak.  But that means no one else 
could see Neville,  either, so the authorities wouldn't be able to 
find him and revive him.  Neville ought to *still* be lying there in 
his parents'house, right?  But what would happen if *Moody* 
were one of the first  aurors on the scene!  Moody can see 
through invisibility cloaks!  He would have seen Neville, and that 
could be how Neville was  discovered and rescued!  Pretty cool, 
huh?"<<<<


A figure in cloak and dark glasses stepped from the shadows of 
the Safe House kitchen. No one had seen her come in.

"Miss Pippin!" Sneaky jumped up.
 

Melody dived into her robes and produced a bulb of garlic, which 
she waved around menacingly. "How DARE you!" she shouted. 
"You can't come in here without an invitation!"

"Oh, but I have an invitation," said Pippin. " Pip said I could come 
by any time. I am a conspiracy theorist and a Christie fan, you 
know. I just don't see any point in giving Snape another horrible 
secret when he's got two already. So you can put that away. 
Besides, you really think I'm going to be scared off by a 
vegetable?"
 
"It was worth a try," said Melody. "Care for a pop tart?"

"No thanks," said Pippin. "I never eat...tarts. Say, what are all 
these Elkinses doing here?"

"They is discussing Neville theories, Miss Pippin," said Sneaky. 
"Miss Cindy was just saying that Neville could have been hiding 
under an invisibility cloak when his parents were attacked.  But 
Auror Moody could have seen him."

"Interesting," says Pippin, "but I doubt it. I thought we'd decided 
that Moody lost his eye battling the Lestranges when he captured 
the Pensieve Four. If  he didn't have a magical eye yet,  he 
couldn't have used it to see through Invisibility Cloaks at the time 
of the attack."


"Darn!" said Cindy, "I think you're right. But help me decide which 
of these Elkinses is the real one."


"No idea," said Pippin, "Anyway, how do I know you're the real 
Cindy? You've got a wand. Cindy doesn't have a wand. She has a 
paddle. A big paddle. Right?"
