It made perfect sense. Of course Dumbledore sent someone he trusted wholeheartedly when dealing with matters regarding a Horcrux and who did he trust more (beside himself, that is) than his closest friend? Ashley really should have known, but Moody honestly hadn’t been so bad in the movies. He was also considered a friend to most, if not all, of the Order members. Tonks, especially. She wasn’t on the right side yet but she would be in time. How would she take the news that her mentor wasn’t as great as she thought him to be? The Weasleys? And Remus and... Sirius.
