memory. But here is the pickle: This statement doesn't fit with 
Mundungus talking with the same barman in the street not in 
disguise.

Tonks:
I think that there is a simple explanation for this. Mundungaus was 
banned from the bar. I don't know if we know the reason why. Anyway 
he is not allowed in the bar for some transgression. That doesn't 
mean that the barman can't have dealings with him outside the bar. 
It doesn't mean that the barman never wants to see him again or 
can't work with him on Order business. It just means that Dung can't 
go in the bar. Whatever he did it was bad for business, and he isn't 
going to be given the chance to do it again.

he doesn't need a disguise, explaining lack of desguise during the 
street meeting perfectly.

Tonks:
I have to admit that even if I don't agree, that I like this idea. 
;-) Maybe he only transforms on a full moon.

But seriously, I don't think that LV takes any prisoners, so to 
speak. If he wanted informantion he would get it and then kill the 
man. Course you could argue that DD came to his brother's aid and LV 
could do no more. If that is the case then LV will come after 
Alberforth again now that DD is dead. Or maybe not, since Harry is 
uppermost in his mind.

By the way, I love your name. I almost hope you are right.
