a spy for the Death Eaters, it is her job to suck up to Dumbledore.
But—unlike Snape—she is highly unwilling to do anything to help
the Order. Perhaps she's bidding her time; perhaps she's foiling
them more than we know.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent

simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
