Barty, has your Mother recovered from this afternoon's ordeal? I shouldn't wonder if she's still as shaken as I but I do hope she's been properly seen to by St Mungo's.

Remind me in future to ensure that you are lunching in the vicinity of any place where reporters are likely to find me. I must say I don't half fancy another such encounter on my own. There is a very good reason you and Bella are the Aurors and I am not!

Draco, if you should see the Prophet this evening before Valerian arrives with your Father's note: I am perfectly well, now. Mother had a spot of bother but it's all right, nothing to worry about. We'll see you tomorrow, dear. I am quite looking forward to excitement as a spectator, rather than a participant - only the good sort of excitement, of course.

Your Father says he thinks Harry will be allowed to play with his replacement broom. Have you heard from Professor Slughorn about it? Or your Uncle?

Thank you. I feel so foolish about the whole affair. I've no idea how he managed to slip it into my pocket without my notice.

Have you any idea what it was meant to do? It's not one of those bumbs Snape had advocated, is it? I thought those were meant to be rather smaller. And they don't have a long lead time, either, do they, so it would have exploded sooner if it were. Unless he failed to make it properly, I suppose.

At this rate I think I shall forego the 20th of May altogether next year. We shall skip ahead from 19 to 21. I decree it so.

Don't punish yourself for any of what happened. You were magnificent in the stress of the event. Honestly. And the wizard who did it will be very, very sorry before we finish with him.

The device we're not sure about. That's why Craddock sent it on to Rod. It does not seem to have been meant to explode. Can't tell you more. Yet.

Just what I have been telling her - that she's not to blame and that she comported herself perfectly by all accounts.

And yes, he will regret his part in all this for the rest of his life. As well as any cohorts he might have had in the endeavour.

One of the elves has brought her a draught of calming tisane and she's trying to sleep. Shall finish one or two things here and check on her in a bit.

If you learn anything of note - anything at all, let me know.

Understood.
