Unity in these troubled times is certainly important and I applaud the Ministry for having the foresight to see such and encourage it.

[Warded Private]

There are at least two pieces of research yet missing. I have tracked all of the rest, but these two are proving illusive. Yet they are essential to the statements that I am making and I refuse to use poor research merely to prove a point. There are many who would argue that mixing with Muggles is no danger to the witch or wizard and if I counter-argue with less than stellar factual evidence to the contrary they will simply have more ammunition. It is my duty to our society and to my Lord that the evidence is incontrovertible.

At least so much as it can be when dealing with the science of individuals each of which are full of inconsistencies and contradictions. Still, with patience and the review of research done over time, one can find patterns and one exception does not break the rule.

[Warded to Death Eaters]

It is my thought that after our engagement at the first of the month that many have seen their weaknesses in battle and places for improvement. The only way to properly improve is to allow opportunity for practice and such must be undertaken regularly for it to be sufficiently useful.

To this end I will be opening the gardens at Nott Manor for such opportunities to spar with your fellow patriots and generally improve yourselves. The hours for such are Saturday afternoon from 15:00-18:00, Monday & Thursday evenings 20:00-23:00.

I expect to see every one of the outer circle in attendance at least one of these evenings and I do not wish to see excuses for why you cannot attend. You have given yourself to the tasks the Dark Lord has set in front of you.

I will gladly offer some guidance and assistance to the first few who respond to this and request such guidance. Please acknowledge that you have read this and note times you will be in attendance.

	Count me in. Saturday's best. I hope you don't mind the foliage getting destroyed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Indeed I was rather counting on it. I shall see you Saturday then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Warded to Death Eaters] patrice_ 2009-09-12 02:05 am UTC (link)
	And I will have you and Yaxley work together at the beginning of the afternoon so that you are able to begin straight away upon arrival. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Excellent. Do save me a duel Monday evening, if you will. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll be there on Saturday. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Death Eaters patrice_ 2009-09-12 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Excellent. Perhaps you and Barty can work together at the beginning of the afternoon? As others respond we will switch around so that we all have the opportunity to be challenged by different strengths and weaknesses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds like a good plan. I look forward to Saturday. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Excellent. [Gavin] Your sister seems to be quite willing to share the family history. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nott gavery 2009-09-12 04:10 am UTC (link)
	I've told her to stow it, but it takes so much to get through that thick skull of hers. I can keep her under control. Podmore. I'm going to Sign me up for Saturday, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gavin. patrice_ 2009-09-12 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Yours is not the only family that has been pulled away and misled. ~~She may or may not be salvageable~~ Concentrate on your duty to the Dark Lord for now. Absolutely. If you wish to come early we could practice before the others arrive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Patrice. gavery 2009-09-12 04:58 am UTC (link)

	You will be rewarded for your devotion, Gavin. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Inspirational words, Mr. Nott! Unity in all things - as a human race, and as a wizarding world - is incredibly important. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-12 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Quite so, Mr Podmore. Perhaps if there was a bit more of it, we would not be suffering the problems we currently are. I hope this event will help remind people of this fact. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Death Eaters. dogofwar 2009-09-12 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Gladly accepted. I'll express my gratitude in person. Until Saturday afternoon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Death Eaters. patrice_ 2009-09-12 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Saturday then. I expect a good deal of gratitude, Rodolphus. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hullo, Mr. Nott! Will you be attending the ball? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-12 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Indeed my wife and I will be attending the ball, Miss Lestrange. And I trust you will be attending as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashandpearls 2009-09-12 04:46 am UTC (link)
	I have work to do but I'm sure I can re-adjust my schedule to accomodate a quick appearence! Oh but it is a masquerade. How will I know it is you? ~~Perhaps by listening out for your absurd wife's hyena-like laughter?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-12 04:50 am UTC (link)
	I do hope so, Miss Lestrange. The world should not be deprived of your grace on the dance floor for something as mundane as work. But if I tell you, it will defeat the purpose of a masquerade will it not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashandpearls 2009-09-12 05:07 am UTC (link)
	You are too too kind! And alas, I suppose I am not entirely comfortable with anonymity, even if it is a masquerade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-12 05:29 am UTC (link)
	The truth merely happens to be kind in this regard. I do not believe that is an entirely uncommon phenomenon, but in this case I believe it is for the best. [Miss Lestrange] If it is not too bold of me, may I ask if you will you be attending with an escort? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr Nott. ashandpearls 2009-09-12 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	The thrill of being surrounded by the unknown, perhaps? That I can understand! It is very likely that if I attend at all, it will not be with an escort. ~~Curse the times in which a man prefers his work over the company of a beautiful woman. Like me!~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Lestrange patrice_ 2009-09-13 03:06 am UTC (link)
	The unknown is always a touch exhilarating - particularly when one is discovering it. I find it difficult to believe there is no young man willing to escort such a beautiful lady. They should be lined around Diagon Alley for such an honour. If you do decide to come I do hope that you will do me the honour of saving me a dance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr Nott ashandpearls 2009-09-13 05:22 am UTC (link)
	- the beginning of awe, I suppose. Perhaps I have turned them all down - perhaps. And rest assured I will save you a dance. But first (and here is the heart of the problem) you will have to find me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Lestrange patrice_ 2009-09-13 06:23 am UTC (link)
	And there is a scenario that makes far more sense. I will feel honoured at your acceptance. Aha, a mystery. And will you give me any hint what you may be wearing Miss Lestrange? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr Nott ashandpearls 2009-09-13 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Why should I make it any easier for you, Mr Nott? I am sure you are more than capable of discovering someone if you set your ~~heart~~ mind to it. ~~Dear Merlin what am I doi~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Lestrange patrice_ 2009-09-13 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Aha, a challenge! And my reward is a dance with you? Accepted, Miss Lestrange. I will find you and request a dance. The only question is whether or not you will know it is me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr Nott ashandpearls 2009-09-13 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Of course it is! I will know you by the sound of your voice, ~~I've heard you talk with Father and my brothers l~~ unless you modify it somehow. But that will be cheating and so it is not allowed! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miss Lestrange patrice_ 2009-09-14 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Then I shall look forward to it. And I would never dream of cheating, Miss Lestrange. I am a gentleman! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr Nott ashandpearls 2009-09-15 04:45 am UTC (link)

	Death Eaters. potion_master 2009-09-12 04:28 am UTC (link)
	I will be there Thursday and Monday, and for the final hour of Saturday if it is acceptable to show up for the last. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Death Eaters. patrice_ 2009-09-12 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Very well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	healcorners 2009-09-12 05:25 am UTC (link)
	It seems a good idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-13 02:38 am UTC (link)
	I only hope the entire population will take the message to heart. Unity will take more than a masquerade. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	itsahit 2009-09-12 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	So, will you be writing a book about this as well anytime soon? All of us at the Daily Prophet are eagerly awaiting the latest from you. Especially me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-13 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Miss Braithwaite, I should hate to disappoint. I certainly have plans to publish again. I trust you have been well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsahit 2009-09-13 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Mr Nott, I do hope you will be working with a different publisher this time around? Please consider this as a friendly suggestion, and do consider an alternative. I have been as well as can be expected. I am sure you have had an invigorating holiday? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-13 06:35 am UTC (link)
	An interesting suggestion Miss Braithwaite. I cannot imagine why you would have found fault with my publisher ~~or for that matter my writing~~. I have found them quit amenable to work with and have appreciated their expertise a great deal. Quite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsahit 2009-09-13 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	The mistakes in the advance copies I received were horrendous, Mr Nott. And since I am generous to the cause of new writers, I believe the misprints and the errors in spelling were the fault of your publisher and not yours. Hence the suggestion. Business is business is business is not a place to make friends. That's what I believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-15 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	~~Or you are a pretentious cow who simply likes~~ Perhaps you could assist me by marking such misprints and errors in spelling so that I could take them to the publisher and straighten this out with them? I do so appreciate your kindness in this regard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsahit 2009-09-16 11:19 am UTC (link)
	Are you offering me a job, Mr Nott? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-16 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	I thought perhaps as you had noticed such misprints so easily you were wishing a job, Miss Braithwaite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsahit 2009-09-17 08:53 am UTC (link)
	~~Smug bastar~~ I am quite set in my job here at the Prophet, Mr Nott. But if you wish me to help guide you through these things, you only need to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	patrice_ 2009-09-19 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	So kind of you, Miss Braithwaite. Do have a good evening. (Reply to this) (Parent)
