Order Only: Walter Cousins

[alt_arthur]

I still have had no luck at pinpointing Ivy Lovell or Sirius Maxwell. If you're free, though, Kingsley, I thought that we could try for Walter Cousins tomorrow. His parents are labourers for an agriculture consortium in Yorkshire.

Shall we meet at the usual rendezvous point at 10:00 tomorrow morning?

I am entirely at your disposal, my friend. I will see you there.

Sirius Maxwell. Sorry, that's just such a ridiculous thing to name a boy.

But something we said earlier occurs to me, now that you've mentioned him again and how much trouble you've had finding him. Surely that name would have raised eyebrows if he'd been born in a camp? So what if he and his parents are in a private outfit, something like the cider house where Dora and Remus found Jane Briden, only perhaps one that doesn't keep quite such precise records?

And how does it feel to have successfully got four boys to their majority, Arthur?

Interesting idea, Sirius.

I think you may be correct. Call it a hunch...

The question then, of course, will be how will we find him?

[alt_arthur]

And as for four boys reaching majority age...it doesn't quite feel real yet for the twins. They're such rapscallions that I half expect to receive an outraged letter from Minerva at any minute accusing them of having liberated all the castle's toilet seats. It's hard to imagine them settling down to a staid Ministry job, despite their mother's wishes.

Those boys at the Ministry? Bless me, no!

Surely that's not what those two plan?
