Private Message to Mafalda Hopkirk and Bellatrix Lestrange

No strong leads on Macnair. (No sign at all of Snape.) If he's is still in the area, he's out on the moors.

Target was clearly Catterick Barracks. Did not penetrate secured area. Working theory: sighting was not accidental. He wanted to be seen. Not a diversion for anything immediate. (Nothing in yesterday's Smythe/Black farce to suggest a link, is there?)

A calling card, then.

Effort to convince us he and Snape are not collaborating?

Leaving Desai and Forney with trainees to participate in field sweep of the moors and dales. Strong work yesterday and overnight. Few concerns. Full report later.

Have told Travers and Starling I'm available if they need me to chase leads. Otherwise, I'll be back within the half-hour.

Effort to achieve any number of things - to see who arrived at the scene, what procedure was followed, who was in charge and who was not. This was deliberate baiting.

Hopkirk, I would advise that you not spend too many resources on further sweeps. Macnair knows how to cover his tracks and lay false ones far better than most of ours.
