I shall answer the second question first, if I may. In recent times, I have investigated Aberforth Dumbledore at the Inner Circle's request and, along with Dylan Selwyn, I dealt with Guy Dobbs at the request of Augustus Rookwood.
In regards to the first question, I have had an interesting result come of my investigations into Dumbledore. I used Polyjuice in order to enter the Hog's Head without rousing suspicion and once I discovered that Dumbledore appears to dabble in the black market, I used the ruse of being a potential dealer and wanting to get something of a measure of the man before I conducted business with him.
The ruse was not as successful as I might have wished with Dumbledore's particular friends but just this afternoon I have found that it was more successful than I expected with the contact I eventually extracted information from.
It seems he has spoken with Dumbledore and vouched for me with that man as a black market dealer. Apparently I was not the only one judging another that night and I have passed with flying colours.
I intend to follow this through in a judicious manner. I have a small amount of polyjuice still available as well as a few more hairs from the man I used. I do not know what precisely may be gained from this, apart from perhaps a few Dark objects, but I feel it is an avenue that should not be discarded.
To complement this, would it be possible to gain more training in wandless and wordless magic? I feel it might be useful.
