Private Message to Hydra

I'm sure you've heard more than enough about how foolhardy you've been.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, dear, but not for the reasons you think.

Let us concentrate instead on what can be done to mitigate the situation. Your father fears you will do yourself a mischief in your effort to intercede on behalf of your paramour. I believe if I can deliver your promise you will not harm yourself, I may be able to extract from him a solemn vow not to damage the boy any more than necessary to provide his lesson.

Really, Hydra. A little rebellion, to say nothing of some healthy exploration, is all well and good, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. Can he possibly be worth such a tumult?

I see your father also talked to your uncle Razzer and Antonin Nikolaevich. Have they known about your deception as well? Has he told you if either of them (or both) are serving as seconds? If so, perhaps I can convince them to keep things under control.

Do stay calm, dearest. Aunt Narcissa will be there before anything happens tomorrow.
