Our final meeting in advance of Monday's Daughters of the Protectorate luncheon was held yesterday and I must say I am pleased that this year's class continues to produce a number of qualified young witches. Congratulations to you all, ladies, and I look forward to your inclusion in this prestigious order.

June, I do hope we'll see you tomorrow, regardless of the decision of the committee. I've a young squire to accompany me and I'm rather anxious to show him off. He's nearly as tall as his father now!

Lana, dear, your concerns were noted but I'm sure you'll understand that they were outweighed by other voices.


Fergus, I'd no idea you were planning another installation in the Protector's Park. Of course I shall be delighted to attend. You know, it's probably past time we added to the Kensington pieces - I'd be interested in your opinion on the matter. I was thinking perhaps something for the interior. Sarah Yaxley's had some ideas and I do believe a collaboration might produce fascinating results.

Pandora's asked me to help find a suitable home for Ptolemy and Karoline once they return from their honeymoon; I was thinking of walking round Berkeley Square to see what might be open to let but this horrid weather has quite taken away my taste for it. One does find the rain much more enjoyable when one is indoors with a cup of strong tea.

There's one bright spot to the spring so far: The Summer Concert series has been announced. Toshenka, you'll be able to attend a number of the concerts, I trust? And Barty, I promise no fancy dress robes required: Picnic suppers under fairy lights, with twilight darkening all round the Protector's Park. I'll send you the guidebooks, shall I? It opens on the 3rd Saturday of June and runs through sometime in August.


Oh, and before I forget: June, dear, of course I'll be happy to assist with the DoP luncheon. Whatever could have given you the impression I was not interested? I did think I made it clear that Siobhan would provide adequate representation from the youngest generation of the Calderwood family, though, did I not? If you need further reasons, I suggest you make an appointment with me at the club. I think you already realise that Cassandra's hopes for induction are quite unrealistic, no matter what the outcome of her N.E.W.T. exams. Such a disappointment for you, I'm sure.


Aurora, are we meeting tomorrow? I had it down but thought I might have the date confused. Was that before or after your plans changed?


Ned, Lana: Do bring Sarah and her young man with you this Friday night. We'd love to see all of you. I promise you'll be able to get away from us stodgy old people before the pubs close.

Dearest June,

First, please allow me to convey my heartfelt sympathies regarding the incident at Hogwarts over the weekend. As one mother to another, I know you must be in agony over young Cassandra's behaviour and its consequences. It is no easy thing for a mother to stand idly by whilst her child is made to endure such a punishment. But I'm sure you and she will brave the ordeal and I trust she has gained a powerful, if painful, lesson.

Now, I'll not waste either of our time by dancing 'round the topic: I was reviewing the guest list with my assistant and saw that you and Archemachus had replied before the events of the last few days. Under the circumstances, June, I think you'll agree that it might be more comfortable for all of us were you and Archie to forego the party on Friday. Letitia and Troy as well, if you don't mind. After all, not only will Razzer be there but Professor Sinistra is to be his particular guest, which is a development we are all happy to encourage. And ordinarily I would say come and be welcome and simply try not to mix but with my theme this year I'm afraid that might be rather more difficult than expected. Besides, you've often mentioned Archie's back troubles and I'm afraid he will find the seating this year entirely inadequate. I do so hate to see anyone in discomfort at one of my parties.

Please don't think this indicates any sort of cooling between the Malfoys and the Calderwoods; you know I hold you and your mother before you in high regard. I do so look forward to the WI programme in January and your input as to 'Witch of the Year' is simply invaluable. I hope you can find time to lunch with me and Mother after the New Year, as well. She'll want to hear all about your new cottage in the Cotswolds. Sheep, you're raising there? How very practical.

Well, you'll have to tell us how you're managing the muggles on the farm when next we meet. Which will be soon, I do hope.

Please accept our apologies and I'm sure next time we've a gathering, there will be no question of awkwardness.

Yours Affectionately,

Narcissa C.B. Malfoy
