somewhere else.  Who was it who suggested under the boardwalk, as it
were, at the Malfoys' manor?  Something like that, or some special
place Voldy has set aside for secret meetings or hideaways.

Carol responds:
That was me, upthread. I wrote: "Will he [Snape] stay at Spinner's End
with Peter (surely a risky proposition), move in with Voldy, share a
cozy hideaway with Bellatrix in that secret room under the drawing
room in the Malfoy manor, fly to Egypt on Buckbeak? (Just joking on
that last one.)" I do think that's where Bellatrix is hiding, BTW,
which explains why she hasn't yet been caught and how she could know
that Narcissa intended to go to Snape for help.

As for Narcissa revealing the location of Spinner's End, I was
thinking that the Aurors will almost certainly question her regarding
Draco's whereabouts (So much for "glory"; he's a wanted criminal), and
maybe Snape's as well. Unless she's a better Occlumens than she
appears to be (and has an antidote to Veritaserum handy), she could
easily reveal everything she knows, from the location of Spinner's End
to the Unbreakable Vow (although that last might actually work to
Snape's advantage). She's the main reason I think Snape should leave
Spinner's End and should *not* go into hiding with Bellatrix and Draco
at the manor. (That and his distaste for Mrs. Lestrange. Living in
close quarters with her would be worse than sharing a small house with
Wormtail.)

I do think Snape will want to protect Draco in some way but that Draco
(given his snide behavior to Snape in HBP) will claim that he's of age
and doesn't need Snape's protection. Which is why I hope (being a
DD'sMan partisan) that Snape is free of the UV. If anything really bad
happens to Draco otherwise, Snape is dead.
