Bella,
In all honesty this message is really to you, but I wanted your husband to be able to weigh in if he so cared.
I went out there this afternoon and convinced him to bundle up Rigel and come back to the Manor for supper, in fact. That's after he told me you were spending the night in some field or other.
Which is why I've decided to send this, even if it's not the most secure method to talk.
Bella. I'm not entirely sure what you were about, telling Hydra to announce to all of Hogwarts that she had failed you and the Protectorate, but I think you ought to know it caused quite a stir. As that was undoubtedly your goal, let me assure you that it was not received as you surely wished.
I can't think what she might have done to upset you, dear, though clearly she's managed it. Only next time, you might ask Rabastan to devise something for her - or at least set her a punishment that doesn't parade our family's affairs before several hundred witnesses. She's not one of the rabble, after all.
You've built your reputation on your fearsomeness, dear, but you gain nothing and perhaps even raise eyebrows of disapproval by demonstrating to all that your fierce nature extends to terrorising your own child.
Please, next time, just - keep it private.
