alt_narcissaOur holiday is shaping up to be quite the lovely intimate gathering!
Lucius has arranged for us all to take a sail this afternoon; in the meantime, we've been on some lovely long walks, the boys have gone flying, we've even managed to sun ourselves a bit while taking in some light reading.
(Though, speaking of reading, Mr Weasley, if you happen to be looking out for my husband's posts, he did mention that he must have left his date book on his blotter at the St James' house. It's been mislaid, at any rate. Now, I hardly think it worth your making the trip to confirm its whereabouts, but he was thinking about returning on Sunday night as he could not recall exactly where to start on Monday morning. If you remembered and could let him know, his wife would be most grateful for the extra time.)
There's a quaint little pub near the end of the quay in the village, where they serve a peculiar morning fry-up. I think Raz has been there every morning since our first; we intend to lunch there before our sail.
I'm so glad that we're joined this morning by my sister and her family, as well. It's astonishing how little we see of them, considering how easy it would be. I think Mother and Pascoal may join us for supper, though not overnight, since these family gatherings are increasingly reserved for Christmas and the like. I truly appreciate having the whole lot of us to enjoy each other's company.

Will that do, dear?

Date: 2012-08-25 02:42 pm (UTC)I'm not sure what you've said to Barty but he's bloomed on hearing of your return. Just when I'd almost given up on him finding true love.
I hope we may call once we're back from holiday? When do you leave for Hogwarts? And please, if there are any creature comforts you may need, don't hesitate to tell me what I can do. I confess I'm not at all sure how well your elf may have kept Cottesmore in your absence. Acceptably, one hopes? But surely there are deficiencies, since it could not be expected to know when you would come home.
Now, Lucius mentioned that you're under Healer's care? You really must have the best St M's has to offer; has Healer Fletcher seen you yet? You've no idea how most of your comrades drive me to fits with their stoicism when it comes to the Healing Arts. Do be an example to them in that, as in all other things, Antoshenka, and show them that you submit to the ministrations of those qualified to speed your recovery.
How good to have you taking a firm hand, though. I confess I'll feel much easier about the coming year knowing that you are there, as well as the Razzer, to look after Draco and Harry and guide them properly. That Carrow wench! Well. The less said about her or her brother, the better. They're both gone and none too soon.
In fact, sometime I might amuse you with the truth behind her downfall. We've not forgotten your counsel, Toshenka dear.
Do let me know when you'd be up for a visit, if we can arrange it this week. If not, Lucius and I usually come up for Quidditch and we would welcome you to our table for supper.
Affectionately,
Narcissa C.B. Malfoy

I'm off for a walk round the headland. Need to shake off all this holiday sluggishness. Get the blood flowing. Assume I won't be needed for any reason. (Take it Bella's already left? Didn't see her in the garden with the rest of you.)
Later.

But at any rate I can tell you with absolute certainty that his first appointment on Monday is with Stinson at 9:30 am, at St James. I remember because of the reports he asked me to have ready in preparation: they're waiting for him on his desk.
