"Adding Nott to our group was one of Scorpius's many mistakes," Orella began to tell her. "But also the only one we could justify. That lice had discovered us. He could have become a problem, instead he was Bound. He will keep our secrets forever, like all of us. Or so we thought. Now we know he managed to find a way to spill our business to you without kicking the bucket. He had to die, for what he did, but we gave him another chance. He had to write you a letter, begging you not to come back, so that you would actually come back. You heroes are always very predictable."
