I've been thinking about why it wasn't MLE. I suppose they are trickier to deal with than the watch. More likely to take matters into their own hands if you alert them in advance? Likely to suspect the informant along with the rest, perhaps? I'm not sure. My first thought was that she wanted us all tied up with a bow and then she'd have called MLE to collect us.
But now I wonder if it wasn't the captain of the watch who had that scheme. I can't understand the betrayal, quite, and it seems to me that if one of the watch had got some information on Merribel, they could have coerced her. That would make it even more clear why the watch would have gone it alone without involving MLE. They wanted all the glory for themselves.
As for contacting her, that been with Albus' owl scheme, so not the buttons, no. We've known Merribel Hedges for years.
I'm afraid I'm taking it rather personally. And I know that's wrong. I'm sorry.
