Well, I hope that puts a bee in Dolores' bonnet. Aurora, dear, I'm so sorry the programme has been wrested from you. Particularly as it's been put into the hands of a simpering prude such as Madam Umbridge. Whatever 'direction' the Committee wished to see, it's certain she's not going to manage the thing with as much sensitivity as you have done. Poor Darius. Yvaine is so distraught. Do you know I was three hours with her on Monday after she collected him and brought him home? I can only imagine how she must wish Lycus back among them - for dozens of reasons.
But I was writing to speak of more pleasant topics: Our holiday in Pembroke. Razzer, I know you volunteered to chaperon Harry but Lucius and I have arranged things carefully enough that he thinks it shan't be necessary for you to spend the whole week with us - unless you wish to do, of course. But Aurora, I thought it would be lovely if you had any time to spare, if you came and joined us for a day or three. Perhaps at the weekend? I've invited Bella and Rod, though I don't know if they'll accept. But whether they do or not, we would love to see you both. You've no idea how hard it has been to sit on my hands this week and say nothing to anyone! I can only guess that it's been twice as hard for you, too.
Do think about it and let me know. And if not, then we shall have to arrange to meet some weekend soon after the start of school, to officially celebrate your good fortune.
