Rodolphus has asked us to host Rigel for a few days. He's bringing Hydra to supper and will leave Rigel and Mrs Baylock when they go.

No, I don't know for how long - I'm sure it's just until Hydra's feeling more herself. I gather he's been trying to see to her this week without making any other arrangements to cover either his duties to MLE or seeing to Rigel's daily time and it's overwhelmed him, and no surprise.

Do try to come home on time, if you can. I know it's been difficult for you lately. I just don't wish you to be startled when you do arrive.

I gather she's having trouble adjusting after her ordeal. But I didn't ask. It's enough to know that he's brought her home to look after her personally. And - I doubt very much you'll see her but he has not seen the need to bother Bella with the news. I quite agree.

As for Rigel, he's no trouble. And the nanny will be staying to look after him. You shan't even know he's here.
