Heard you've been talking to my sister, Finnigan. Good job, keep at it. Penny, if she comes to you, be sure to tell her it's all for the good of the many and remind her that she did well, and the nightmares will fade in time. You know, the Prefect act. Oh, and that she was right to tell Parkinson to clear off. I've already said so but reinforcement can't hurt.

Anyway, Irish, whatever you said to her helped, must have done. Was wondering if you'd try your hand with Malcolm. My father says he's barely come out of his room since the battle. Didn't even get too excited about replacing the wand that was left at Hogwarts. See if you can cheer him up? It's making the others nervous.

Pandora's being over-dramatic. I don't care what she says: Lucy's fine. She'll be fine. I'm not going to leave her alone for a second and we'll have full approval of the article before it runs on Sunday.

If you ask me, she's looking forward to it. I've told her she'll become a celebrity overnight and she's liable to get loads of sympathy in the post. She wants to help out. Thinks it's a fitting way to remember all the mates she lost.

You can come along if you think that will put her mother at ease. Not Pandora herself, though, she's got a horrible poker face and those shark reporters would be sure to smell blood in the water. She needs to get a grip on herself if she's going to be of any use.

Quite a party last night.

Karo can't stop talking about after. She's glowing. I've a feeling we'll want to repeat the experience, if you're interested.

We're off to my father's this evening but perhaps supper on Tuesday? If you want to bring Orion, do. It's about time you two made things more official.

Dido said you came looking for me yesterday, after the Wizengamot meeting. Meant to write earlier but more pressing matters took priority.

Well, what is it? Hope you're not thinking I ought to ask Our Lord to promote me over to one of the other offices. This position is fairly important, if for no other reason than it keeps certain secrets out of unwanted hands.

Oh, speaking of secrets: Thicknesse isn't going to back the play you're planning. Don't embarrass yourself by trying.

You see? It's important to stay where we are, Ned and I.

You'd do better to come along when Aunt Narcissa petitions Our Lord again. Had an owl from her this morning. Seems Uncle Lucius is weathering Azkaban a bit worse than expected. You might try your influence within the Wizengamot to get him a proper respite from the Dementors, if you're so contrite about things. Or at least see if you can arrange to have a proper barber in.

It might help if Our Lord realised that even you find the circumstances beyond the pale. Don't think He knows you and Lucius had begun to reconcile. At present, that may well work in our favour, so keep it that way, do.

Oh, by the way, checked with Karo and yes, we can stop by on Antonia's birthday. Just for a while, that is. We sent Malcolm and Lucy care parcels, so that ought to hold them until Christmas, don't you think?

Look, regardless of what you might think, I did not rush in to the office just to end the discussion. But I really don't know what you think there is to talk about; if you don't want to start a family yet, there's no reason to rush into it. Just because your mother thinks it's important? Rubbish. If you think I give a mudblood's dam about what your mother says on the topic of family planning then you haven't been paying attention. I married you, not your bourgeois parents. Say the word and I'll see to it she never brings it up again. (Nor Pandora, either. She hasn't dared broach it, has she?)

Anyway, as it happens I do have a real reason to have come in, annoying as that may be. Can't discuss, but if we don't resolve it, heads will roll.

But we'll work something out. No choice about it.

I might not be home tonight. But I'm not trying to avoid the subject. As far as I'm concerned, do what you like. Tell your mother to mind her own.
