Ma cherie, I trust you are yet doing well? How many weeks have we yet before we will be able to meet our Theodore?


Laelia has spoken to me about having the Rosiers over and I told her that a small dinner between our two families would certainly be suitable. She and Tristan ought to have the chance to speak some together despite the unfortunate circumstances that has overshadowed this arrangement. I told her that she should work with you -- perhaps you might even give her the opportunity to make some of the decisions regarding the menu and settings? You always do so well that I know she would appreciate her guidance, but it would be lovely for her to have the opportunity to practice further before she is the mistress of her own household.

And if have you not already been in your study, do check your desk when you go in there.

I am meeting with our Lord tonight. As per our conversation earlier in the week, I shall be bringing some names to his attention.

I believe it is also worth noting that young Mr Black has taken it upon himself to cut off his engagement with Miss Lestrange. His reasoning is that he wishes to devote more of himself to th cause. As such, I have increased our training sessions. I am certain that eventually this information will become public -- until then, your discretion, gentlemen.

Always so self-righteous, aren't we? And yet, if they were not given the rights to use unforgivables, perhaps young Evan Rosier would still be among our number. His death, and the death of Caracatus, have been avenged, and yet the loss is still felt.

Tie their hands, Wizengamot: Tie them up in paperwork and bureaucracy and ineffectiveness.

We have no such limitations. We will win this war yet.
