[Warded Private]

I am utterly exhausted of female hysterics.

It is not enough for Lucia to pull me away, but she must find Healer Edgelow's behaviour unsatisfactory? Whatever in Merlin's name that means. I have spoke with him, but the man has seen her through any number of pregnancies, and several that were dangerous, with no harm coming to her, and he spoke with me thoroughly following the incident, and I have no intention of changing.

Jugson is another matter entirely. I am rarely one to say that a woman should not be well read and should not be quite capable - indeed I encourage such in my own daughters, and prefer it in a woman of my choosing, but I wonder that they are being allowed to fight. I wonder if what we are requesting is not simply too demanding, and for all that I told Persephone that she could learn to fight easily as well as any man, without damaging her appearance of 'lady-like' behaviour, in the end it was not her fighting that damaged that, but her own mental instability.

It is no wonder that the Dark Lord is displeased. I have failed him, because I did not see how dreadfully unstable she was. Perhaps she should never have been allowed to join - particularly not to the level that she was given - but that I cannot take blame for. However, I can certainly take blame that I did not see it, and did not remove her from the ranks before she damaged public perception. At this rate, Death Eaters will be seen as unstable and any of those who would support the tenants of Purism that we are fighting for, will be disinclined to be seen with us because of that. I believe we must be more careful about who is given the mark, and remind those who have taken it, that this is devotion to an ideal, to the Dark Lord himself, not a way for them to rid themselves of personal demons -- or embrace them.

And Marissa Avery. I am only relieved Lucia has at least some sense more. Stabbing her own husband? If I had been Xavier, she would have received enough pain from my wand to make her think twice about any such behaviour.

And now this business with Andromeda Tonks showing up at the Ladies League.

Patience, Patrice, you must learn some patience.

[Warded to Lucius Malfoy, Regulus Black, and Rabastan Lestrange]

Let us address the matter of Persephone Jugson. Obviously she will be no longer joining us on Saturdays. As there are only three of you, short of the Dark Lord assigning me another Death Eater, one of you will be paired with me for duelling practices for the foreseeable future.

If any of you have any inclination towards insane behaviour befitting neither a member of society or a chosen soldier in the Dark Lord's army I would like to hear about that at this time. Otherwise, I expect to see you for an extra hour on Saturday and we will move forward. Rest assured that if I sense any inclination towards such behaviour, you will be removed from any assignment of any worth, and if deemed necessary you will be removed from the Dark Lord's army. I think I need not say that you will not find that process pleasant.

Questions?

[Warded to Isidore Mulciber]

I believe you know a bit of Legilimency?

[Warded to the Inner Circle]

Lest we get to sidetracked to current events, I believe we need to turn our minds back to the vampire project. I suggest we determine how we wish this to move forward and then give to two of our Outer Circle to present to the Vampires. Whomever is chosen should be well aware that this will be a test of their skills and they will be punished accordingly if they fail.

[Warded to Inner Circle & Death Eaters employed at the Ministry of Magic]

A man and a woman, overheard as Doc and Char - I am guessing these are nicknames. The woman had brown hair, about five foot, the man taller, also brown hair although darker. It appears as if the man were dressed nicely as though he were coming from work.

Does anyone have any idea of the identities of either of these individuals?

[Warded to Lucia]

Unless you have an objection I am going to invite Laelia to come and stay with us for the next few months. She will be available to assist with Prisca and Tullia, and my Mother seems to think that the project would be good for Laelia. Doubtless she is correct in this matter.

Thoughts?

	Yes. Caradoc Dearborn and Charity Burbage. Dearborn is an Obliviator and we are often assigned together. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Burbage is in International Magical Cooperation; Wizard-Muggle Liaisons as might be expected of her sort. I am afraid I do not know much else of her. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Their files state that they're both currently living in Cardiff. Also, the two were previously married but are on friendly terms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My appreciation to the three of you. I will keep you updated if the Dark Lord requires any further information from you. In the meantime if you think of something, do not hesitate to add it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You wish for her to play governess? I am sure that you know best, Patrice. I have no objects. You know I love your sister dearly as though she were my own. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Lucia.

We have a governess, I would wish for her to be availble to assist with the girls or with anything you might need assistance with while you are pregnant. I am concerned for you, Lucia, and do not wish another incident as we had a few days ago.

Besides I believe it would do her good to have the guidance of a woman who is a bit closer to her own age. I love Mother dearly, but her ideas are antiquated at times. You better understand current political situations within the Ladies League, and so forth.

I do indeed. Nowhere near our Lord's skill but not shabby nonetheless. Are you plotting, Patrice?

I trust you saw Edgar Bones' interesting journal entry? Quite the fascinating rant. He manages to use the exact same arrogance, self-importance and conceit that he accuses us of possessing. I am tempted to point that out to him but I suspect I would achieve more of use by banging my head against the wall for an hour or two.

Still it does remove any impediment or hesitation we may have had over taking care of that family. They have declared themselves blood traitors one and all, which does mean we ought to consider the entire family. I believe there is a widowed sister to Edgar Bones (Amelia?) as well as a brother and his wife, Jonathon and Josephine. Obviously Edgar and Calypso are the priority but the others should not be forgotten.

He sounds like a petulant child. I am wondering just how irritated it would make him if I were to agree with him. I am half tempted to try it, but mostly I have no patience for idiocy these days.

If the family wishes such ideals, they no longer receive any protection because of their blood. Their spouting such ideas so loudly and without reservation will encourage those of lesser blood to consider them worthy. If they cannot be trusted with a position of power and respect, then it will be taken away from them.

Jonathon and Josephine, Edgar, Calpyso, and Amelia, yes. And I do not know how old Edgar's children are these days, but it is very likely the damage there has already been done.

He would probably wonder what kind of game you were playing and possibly tie himself in knots trying to work it out.

They have truly stepped over the bounds now. I have no qualms in dealing with them harshly and using them as an example of what happens to blood traitors.

If they are Hogwarts then yes, quite likely though the youngest may well still be redeemable if he or she was to be raised properly.

When you put it that way, you make it sound almost fun.

Then I think we are agreed there. I suggest that we include the rest of the Dark Lord's Inner Circle, and perhaps consult him as well.

It depends upon how old - If she is old enough to have any understanding, it could work against us ultimately. If they were babies, I would quite agree. But I think none of them are babies. I dislike the idea of spilling so much magical blood, but I do not know that we have many choices. Bones has, in effect, issued an ultimatum.

Yes, that sounds wise. It is a shame to have to spill so much pure blood but blood traitors cannot be tolerated, especially when they flout their disgrace so cavalierly. He will understand that.

A shame but sacrifices must be made to the Cause. Edgar and Calypso will have no one to blame for their children's deaths but themselves. had they thought of their children first as any good mother and father ought to, there would be no need for this.

I have no questions regarding the training, sir, only one regarding Persephone's insanity.

I have been attempting to determine if she showed any signs of that insanity that I may have overlooked but I can think of none. Barty always struck me as being a little odd but there were no such signs with Persephone. You are far more well-read than I. Are there signs that we should look for?
