Is it too soon to contemplate costumes for the coming round of Hallowe'en galas and parties? It seemed like every other person was dressed as Merlin or Morgan le Fay last year. I mean to be more creative.

The Prophet continues its race to the bottom, I see. Unsurprising, but disappointing.

	All of which benefited you in some way. Your new husband found a way to improve the world in the middle of it all, so maybe you could put that pretty little head of yours to good use. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Benefitted? What an insane notion. I certainly do not benefit from dead Muggles or mothers-in-law. We can't all have his reforming zeal. What actions would you suggest I undertake exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You benefit from the attempts on his children's lives. You benefit from having no mother-in-law lording over you, telling you what to do - you're practically queen now, and there's no one in that position to challenge your ego. And isn't it convenient that there was something at the reception to distract from how utterly miserable the prince looked?

I can think of several. For instance, helping those who weren't as fortunate as you were, being born with a silver spoon up your arse. Or maybe taking a look at the world around you, the world you'll unfortunately be ruling some day, and getting to know your future subjects. All of them, not just the ones you deem worthy enough.

You think far worse of my morals and far better of my capacity for Machiavellian scheming than I deserve, I promise you. I'm hoping your mad notions spring from an admirable concern for your family and friends and not from the onset of crazed paranoia.

I happen to be on the board for the Society for Distressed Witches, I'll have you know. But perhaps, perhaps there are other steps I could take in this new role I find myself in. I haven't been in the position for a month, you know. A more generously minded person might perceive that.

See, that's the funny thing - when you say that, you're trying to pretend to be less scheming than you think you are. But in truth, you're in so far over your head that I'm stunned you're still breathing.

Don't worry - crazed paranoia runs in the Black branch of the family, not mine.

You're on the board? Why didn't you say so, you golden-hearted angel of mercy? Please. I've been on plenty of boards in my life. It's an excuse for you to waste time and feel good about yourself instead of doing anything useful. You want to make a difference and earn everyone's respect, then go out and do something. A more generously minded person would already be exploiting her new position to help others.

	You seem to believe you have unerring insight into my motivations and personality. And yet I don't know you, and you certainly don't know me. I wish you wouldn't pretend otherwise. I the meantime, I shall continue to breathe, and it seems you will continue to be presumptuous. (Reply to this) (Parent)
