Private Message to Barty Crouch, Jr. and Maebh Drumgoole

[alt_narcissa]

Good morning, lovebirds!

Maebh, we don't know each other very well yet, but I thought you both might be interested to hear that Norah has been a busy little billywig since last evening. Barty, whatever did you say to set her off? I received an owl from her, I'm sure not two hours after I saw you had written to her in the journals. It was two pages of parchment, equal parts jubilation and probing for anything I might know about your plans. And from what I hear on the Floo, I'm not the only one she's contacted.

I'm off to the WI luncheon later today and I'm sure I'll be confronted with any number of busybody witches who'll want to know what's really going on between you two. Rest assured, your privacy is safe with me - I'm sure it's none of my business what you're up to - but if you don't want your banns read into the Prophet's society column before week's end, you'd best tell her to pull up on her broomstick. Say the word and I'll quash any rumours that reach me as well.

After all, if there's any truth in her presumption, I daresay neither of you would want Our Lord to think you'd made your choice without His blessing.

Quite.

By the way, I've just spoken with Maebh. She says she's worked out the difficulty with your February dates--she'd had Nott booked in with a large party, but she's persuaded him to change his plans.

She's sending you an owl with details.

It's sweet of her to trouble, though I don't like to think she's disappointed Theo. I'll have to console him with something. No matter - it's worth it if we'll be able to take in the vistas and, ahem, mount the summits in good company.
