Private Message to Barty Crouch, Jr

I'm back at Kensington safely, thank you.

Have you adequate remedies for the aftereffects? Lucius and Dominic mentioned sending to St Mungo's for a restorative, since they were staying to confer with Nicola and Gabriel.


Would you really have duelled Lycus? What if you'd lost? Or if He had decided to duel you for your pains?

Truthfully I am just as glad you suffered the temporary discomfort rather than risk a more permanent consequence.


Poor Lycus. Yvaine must be beside herself.

Thank you for letting me know you're home. Would rather have seen you home myself, but I understand.

I'm at Marlborough, and I'm fine.

Of course, I would have duelled Warrington or any other at His request.

I would not have deprived Him of His satisfaction as W did, however. I would have given Him as much fight as one of His best can muster.

I'm sorry. I suppose you'd rather not hear that, though you asked.

No, that is hardly the sort of comforting platitude one wishes to hear under these circumstances.

Sometimes I think you are all quite mad.
