Bringing Hydra on the Lock isn't a mad idea at all, actually, if she really can do occlumency (because if she couldn't, it wouldn't matter how trustworthy she was in intent, I think her mother's always rummaged through her mind the way Milli rummages through Pansy's toiletries).
Last year, Bellatrix Lestrange went to visit the Ponds' -- you know, Nymphadora Tonks and her husband. Because Hydra had corresponded with Mrs Ponds (they're cousins, actually, did you know Bellatrix Lestrange had a SISTER who married a muggleborn?! those were Mrs Ponds' parents) and Auror Lestrange said she just wanted to make a social visit with Rigel. Hydra asked me to write to Mrs Tonks, because I could do it without her mum noticing, to warn her that Auror Lestrange was suspicious or SOMETHING and was lying when she said it was just social. Not that Mrs Ponds couldn't have guessed that, I'm sure, but Hydra was really worried, and wanted to go behind her mother's back to warn her scandalous cousin to try to keep her out of trouble.
She's done other things like that, too.
On the other hand she asked Hermione which one of her parents was a pig. Because that's what Bellatrix told her when she was little, that muggleborns were born when a muggle had relations with a pig. She didn't mean to be cruel, though, I'm sure she didn't. It's what she'd been taught, and she didn't know better.
Anyway, Justin could always tell her his OWN secret and let the rest of us know how she reacted. He trusts her, so he could run the risk of testing her, you know?
