Luncheon on Wednesday? Would you be free?

It was good to see you Friday, Laelia. Give my greetings to mother, if you will.

In truth, I think women are at least equally a curse as they are a blessing.

Laelia I worry Laelia, you know that Lucia cares for your well being like you were her own sister.


Were you able to take Tullia and Prisca out for an afternoon?

Laelia will be joining us for luncheon tomorrow. Will you please have the elves set another plate?

I will see you tonight. I will be a bit late finishing up some research, but I promise I will not be too late.

How do you feel about Reykjavík?

Do you have an escort for the Masquerade, young Lestrange?

1. -Check Journal of Wizarding History for article by Stockhex, J.
2. Find references for "Wizards during this time found it could be dangerous to associate with Muggles", et al - check Ludwiffe - You've seen it somewhere in the past two weeks.
3. Find notes from looking at Killjoy's journals c. 1645 - Don't want to bother Brookstanton with that again at the moment - assuming the journals even survived Bellatrix's temper the mudbloods & blood traitors.

I have been working on a project with the permission of our Lord and believe it is time for us to all begin to discuss it in more detail.

In short, I have felt that the Outer Circle needs more direct guidance. While most whom have been in His service for longer are well prepared, there are still many who have been within his ranks only a year at most. My proposal to the Dark Lord was that those of us whom are among his inner circle would undertake the training and responsibility of those in the Outer Circle.

It would be our responsibility to keep our eyes on those whom are our Mentees. We would train specifically with them, look for weaknesses, and work to encourage more appropriate behaviour publicly when necessary. Although they would continue to answer to all of us, they would have the direct guidance of one of us in order to settle them and help them best learn to serve His will.

In preparation for this, I have begun working with names and considering how rightly to place these individuals in order to best facilitate their learning. For the moment, I have come up with some initial placements. I am of course, open to your suggestions or improvements. Naturally, all final decisions will be made by our Lord.

Will you ensure that Laelia has an appropriate costume regardless of what Mother may or may not have ordered? I am afraid Mother's expectations may be somewhat unlikely.

Also I have business Friday evening; you need not plan dinner for me.

For Friday:

The Lainsborough off Diagon Alley. 7pm. Give your name to the maitre'd. He will be expecting you.

Rabastan Lestrange.

It would actually be a marriage up, he has more maturity on him than Regulus and is a stronger servant to our Lord. I do not know why this is only now occurring to me.
