Congratulations, Regulus. Celeste Lestrange is a lovely and intelligent woman and it is an excellent match. However, I hope you will not allow yourself to be distracted from your work for the Dark Lord with wedding plans.

This coming week I would like for us to spend a bit more time on duelling. Thus, we will be doubling up during the week as well as during the weekend. Regulus and Persephone if I can see the two of you on Thursday. Rabastan and Lucius, on Tuesday. We will resume individual training the following week.

Questions?

Ma cherie, how are you feeling today? I trust that you would let me know if there was anything amiss, but I worry about you and our so child. I would like to take some wine in the study, but I could have the elves make you some cocoa if you would care to join me?

I would like to see you both at the Woodlands tonight around eight. We have a mission for the Dark Lord.

The two of you have a mission for this evening. If you can come by the Woodlands after dinner, but before eight in the evening, I will give you the necessary items and brief you both.

Reading, Writing - with literature a part of that; storytelling, theatre, etc - mathematics, citizenship and social skills, music, art, history and general culture.

We should speak with those witches and wizards who operate as private tutors to get a full understanding of what types of lessons they ensure their charges have. I know what Tullia and Prisca have had, but other families may have slightly different priorities - and a beginning list from which we could begin gathering similarities would be a good plan.

Also -

What, if anything, do you know about unofficial wireless stations that may be out there?

Gavin Avery is dead. This leads me to wonder if the warning I gave earlier in the week was in some way unclear. Gavin Avery discussed his position with his sister, A blood traitor, and this decision has cost him his life, his family their heir, and may have endangered others among us.

You fight for a myriad of personal reasons, but we fight for the same goal. If you are compromised it is not only yourself, but each of your colleagues, your families, and the goals of our lord that are endangered. Discretion is essential. You do not allow yourself to be seen as a Death Eater. You do not discuss this organization with non-supporters and blood traitors. You do not discuss the details of missions outside of those privy to the information.

It is your responsibility that your identity remains unknown. If you fail in that task the Dark Lord and his Inner Circle must make decisions for the common good looking not at individual desires but at the future world we strive towards. Today's decision is one I expect us to never have to make again, but do not be deceived into thinking we will not do so if it should become necessary.

Is this clear?

Lest you should think reading this is enough, it is not: I expect an answer from every one of you that bears his mark. If you do not respond expect that I will be talking to you in person.
