alt_narcissaWell, that was an entirely pleasant day. Until it wasn't.
As is our family tradition, we gathered with the extended branches of Black, Rosier, Pennifold and Lestrange on Boxing Day to exchange gifts and spend the day with good food and good company.
Regulus had already told me he wished to sneak away as soon as we'd dined and I was happy to help him when he made his excuses to Walburga.
Unfortunately, shortly after he left, Mother's elf interrupted with the Evening Prophet. The piteous creature was fairly trembling in fear to give it to us. Not an unfounded concern, sad to say; no sooner had Lucius and Bella read the headline than they set off straight for the Ministry.
Between Regulus' early departure and Bella and Lucius rushing off, I had quite a time making apologies and the evening soon concluded. At least I got to hold Rigel for about half an hour. He's such a darling little thing.
I'm sure the Ministry will have a response to this incendiary article before morning, but as for me, I do not expect to see my husband until he has discovered who is responsible (and made them pay handsomely for their mischief)!
