    ... already writing down a few notes on a piece of parchment he had in his hands. Next to him, Fred leaned over and pointed at something on the parchment. George frowned, and added another few words. Fred immediately grinned and nodded eagerly. Harry smiled and looked back at the adults. They were all looking at him with varying degrees of surprise, fascination, or confusion. He shrugged. "Listening spells can be discovered, and the spell signature can be traced back to a specific person. But if the twins can come up with something small that can be stuck somewhere out of the way, it shouldn't show up on a scan of the room, as long as it's done right. Right?" Hermione nodded eagerly. "Just like the muggle technology," she put in excitedly. "They have listening devices that they can use to get information." Harry chuckled a little and nodded. "That's where I got the idea," he admitted. "We can't use the same technology as them, but we can adapt their ideas to fit our needs." "An excellent idea," Minerva complimented.

"Albus believes in it, so I think he's taking a back seat to the war, because he thinks that Harry will be the one to defeat Voldemort. And…" he shook his head, annoyed. "Albus has this idea of leniency, and second chances. He thinks that all Death Eaters can be redeemed. And that's just not the case. Can you see Bellatrix, or Rodolphus ever coming to the light side?" Augusta and Neville growled at the mention of the Lestranges. "Or Avery, or Macnair… these Death Eaters have murdered countless times, but Dumbledore would still try to integrate them back into society. He just doesn't understand that sometimes, the best thing to do is put the rabid dog down." "A crude way of putting it, but accurate," Augusta nodded regally.
