[Remus holds no great fondness for many of the Ministry's decisions, sure, but to say they're the cause of the disappearances... it sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Bill doesn't strike him as the sort to subscribe to such things, though.]

You don't think that a little presumptuous? That it's up to you?

[The words seem like they should be irritated, but Remus is more curious than anything. Can they not fix their own problems?]

The disappearances have been happening for a long time now- long before the current Minister came into power. They've slowed since the curfew was implemented, but--

[Remus edges, something nervous there. He's not in a good place to speak out against Ministry policy, normally. It only leads to trouble. He's not convinced to start any rebellions just yet, however...]

I'm not convinced the restrictions help as much as is claimed. It certainly doesn't help the muggles that are possible targets. [Like his mother.] There's been some minor outcries, but they never go far.

[He meets Bill's eyes steadily.]

You seem very sure it's the Minister himself behind everything. Why is that?
