alt_blaiseI should have invited you for last night, instead, but I was really very glad you came Thursday when the Mulcibers were here.
Honestly. She couldn't have waited until after school starts? I was just a pretext there, you know: introducing me to those who are shaping our realm as I grow closer to my entry into society is cover for her real purpose. She knows things are changing and she wants to resecure her place.
I apologise if she made you uncomfortable. She is who she is with wizards 'worth notice'. Your asking that made me a bit more pointedly attentive to it last night, and it was... notable. She was holding court for Antonin Nikolaevich and Auror Crouch, and with the two of them being the way they are with each other, it puts her 'interest' in a rather different light. I don't find Mother amusing very often, but last evening with Antonin Nikolaevich and Amara Mitiku discussing the rituals of their ancestors in the holy lands of Nile and Sun, I could see her thinking how very much they have in common... Well.
If it weren't for Mr Cooper...
If it weren't for Mr Cooper,Amara Mother might find herself sadly mistaken about interesting Professor Dolohov.
As for the flying, I'm not as sad as you suppose to have missed the CCF's further adventures on brooms. I'm glad it was Finnigan and not me. Though, cheers to Auror Braithewaite for stamping out dissidence and perversion in the realm. I'm certain the combined forces of MLE are feeling well pleased today.
I'm free this afternoon. I made my packing list the first day back and won't need to do anything further except board the train on time. What do you have in mind? Boutiquing? A pleasant tea? If you haven't had your fill of Mother, you could come again tonight. It will be the Baddocks and Spinx this time, and Fintan O'Hearne, the poet, and his partner, Donal Somethingorother, who plays instruments of some kind. All very Gaelic O'Toodle, I'm thinking. But pleasant, of course, because Mother has standards.

Mr Malthe Malfoys aren't quite as secure as they were...but she never really cared about all that in the first place, did she? I mean, she wasn't a really good friend of theirs or anything, so I figured that she just wasn't interested in Council politics. Or is she hoping you'll be able to take a place on the Council someday?Well, anyway. I'm surprised she even thinks she's got a chance with Professor Dolohov. Are the rumours true, do you think? That he and Auror Crouch are together? Seamus says they're more like father and son from what he can tell, but I dunno--but then again, Professor Dolohov seems really affectionate with loads of people sometimes, and then he turns round and he's really formal so sometimes I think it's just his way, and nothing particularly peculiar. Could you tell anything different from supper? Daphs used to have such a crush on Auror Crouch, didn't she? Thank Krishna she got over that! (Although, from him to Weasel is--well. Poor Daphs, honestly. Maybe she and Draco will finally hit it off this year? Or do you think that would be just as foolish of her? Well, maybe she'll try Derwent or Gamp or someone like that--someone normal, you know?)
