Lupin:  I think you should tell McGonagall of you suspicions.  She 
is acting head of the Order.

Tonks: Yes, you're right. I can't tell anyone at work. It might cost 
me my job.

Lupin:  Or your life.

Tonks: (deep sigh) well I have been wrong before.  But the 
evidence .. well 
  it is there
  but not enough for a conviction.  
I can't really prove anything.  Only time will tell.  He will have 
to make a move.

Lupin:  Let's go over it again. 

Tonks:  Well first on page 40 (U.S. edition of HBP) the narrator 
describes him as having a "ravaged face".  Then on page 594, we have 
the forth death eater described as having a heavy, brutal-looking 
face.

Lupin:  I was under the impression that DE usually wear mask.  
Otherwise Lucius Malfoy would have been found out long ago.  
Everyone knows him.

Tonks:  Yes, they often wear mask and very pointy hats. So you see 
it *could* be possible that a "ravaged face" and a "brutal-looking 
face" could be the same person.  It is very hard to tell.

But if you add the fact that in all of these years the Auror 
department has *never* been able to find LV and his DE's
 well  it 
does start to look a bit suspicious.  And with Amelia Bone's murder 
by Voldemort himself. You have to wonder why Voldemort went after 
her.  Could be many reasons, of course, but if she was getting 
suspicious herself
 and starting to get a bit too close.. well


Lupin:  And DD has never quiet liked the man.

Tonks:  Yes, I heard that Harry asked DD once if our suspect 
was "good" and DD was rather evasive in his answer. (see page 61)

Lupin:  Yes, I can see why you are suspicious.  But as you say it is 
not enough evidence.  We just have to watch Scrimgeour closely.  
Maybe he will make a move. 

Tonks:  I can watch in disguise. 

Lupin:  Do be careful my dear.
