It was a testament to how desperate Barty was getting for information on Regulus. Despite all his efforts- going to Grimmauld Place, questioning every Death Eater, and sending him multiple owls- he still had many more questions than answers. Though he was very doubtful that she might know anything, Andromeda was Reg’s cousin. If he had fled the country or anything like that, she would be the perfect person to tell. No one would suspect him telling her anything. Except for, of course, a very desperate Barty. Barty only knew Andromeda through Regulus. His friend didn’t seem to have any strong opinions about her. Which, again, made her the perfect person to confide in. As his owl to her had noted, Barty was waiting in Morning Brew to talk. He had kept it purposefully vague, and had chosen a very casual setting for a conversation that would hopefully be anything but. Barty had thought everything through. Each detail of what he would say and do had been mulled over in his mind. Her coffee order was waiting for her beside Barty. Barty didn't want any surprises to come up seconds before he had what could be a vital conversation. Finally, he saw her approach the table. As he had mentally rehearsed, Barty handed her the coffee. "Hey, thanks for coming!" Casual, charming smile, then, "I felt like we ought to talk to person. It's about your cousin, Regulus."
