Private Message to Lucius and Barty

[alt_narcissa]

Have either of you spoken with Ursula recently?

I'm sorry, she's here and she's quite out of sorts and I just haven't time to write to you separately. You may feel free to ignore each other's responses if that is still your preference.

I've only a moment to ask. Something about Julius taking the Mark and - I'm sure I don't know. I hope I shan't be quite so distraught when Draco becomes one of Our Lord's chosen.

If either of you have any idea what might have upset her please let me know. It might be some time before she can be coherent. Or Barty, if you've spoken to Toshenka and he's mentioned her lately, that might be helpful as well.

Ursula?

No idea at all.

Not as if he's just been Marked.

Yes, it's nothing of concern. Believe she may be talking about the circumstances under which Julius took the Mark. It may have come up in conversation this morning.

Kindly do your best to convince her she has nothing to worry about, provided her choices are wiser from here forward. And her son's, of course.


While I have you, dearest, pray do not expect me for supper to-night. I've accepted an invitation to dine with Stephen that will likely keep me out all evening.
