Private Message to Lucius and Barty

You wanted to know who paid calls today. I was only there for a few hours, of course, but Diana was there when Hydra and I arrived.

Ursula came shortly after. Very concerned: Julius has been asked to take the Mark. She was careful not to make it sound like it worried her but - well, what mother would not worry, considering? (Gaude was not in sight, by the bye.)

Both Glendowers, the Crabbes, Scylla Goyle and that oafish son of hers, Isadora Rowle, Cornelius Jugson, Savitha Desai, Theo Nott and Nick Dyson. Half of MLE, of course but that was to be expected; I didn't think anyone was particularly noteworthy in that set.

Is that helpful?

Glad I went yesterday.

It is helpful, yes. Thank you.

Dyson and Nott came together? Or is your list not meant to be chronological?

Did you hear whether either of the Ms had been there?

Interesting re. the Mark. Her reaction.

I'm not ... No, Dyson and Nott did not arrive together. But I do recall a moment when they were both in a corner in close conversation. Dyson left shortly thereafter - and as I recall, Theo made his excuses within ten minutes.

I didn't see the Ms, no, but Bettina mentioned she received a large arrangement from one of them. She did think it odd (but not odd enough not to display it).

I'm sure if Draco had received Our Lord's favour back when you did, dear, our pride would have been unalloyed. One can't deny that the significance of His Mark has not diminished but it has ... changed over time.

Dyson? Thought he was assured.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Won't take that for granted if he's sniffing around Nott. Or vice versa.

He does cover his bases. Set his wife to paying court on McGonagall for a while. Seemed... unnecessary to me, but harmless.

Nott is something else again.
