The time has come for me to go a courting.
I have procured several goblin-made items (dagger, chalice, and something that looks grossly like a chamber pot but...surely not) from families looking to take up residence in the New Wizarding London. Homes and flats in Mayfair and Belgravia are being sought after by many who have hidden too long in the drear country, in draughty estates disguised as rubble heaps.
With the Lord's blessing, my committee for the Re-population of New London has almost completed the long and arduous task of making the city habitable for our good, upstanding citizens. So many things needed to be rid of, too: disgusting monumentry and useless bric-a-brac and all those poxing double-decker buses. Not to mention more shops full of foul-looking food than I could ever imagine. If there be something left off the long list of muggle inferiorities, it's surely that they are slovenly, wasteful creatures who consume at much greater speed than they produce.
We have a much cleaner - in all ways - London to inhabit now. These days I spend far more time at Saint James than I do at Le'Strange Hill, and find it quite marvellous to stroll through the peaceful, empty streets, dressed proudly in the clothes that mark me as a Witch. One day, I shall live to see these streets filled with young Wizarding children at play.
Now and then I'll stumble across a reminder. A stairwell leading to the underground trains. But it will make me smile all the more, to think of what we have won. Praise the Lord, and all the countless miracles He has wrought.
Cissy, Mother has owled me about some new young man in her life. What do you know of this? He best not be another one who's come after her money.

Why, what has she said about him?

I cannot help but feel it is a disservice to Father's memory.

Ishe did.But he has been gone for nearly twelve years, and if a young tart eases her grief than so be it. We all mourn in our different ways.

I do not believe there is anything to worry about with Pascoal. Mother would of course require him to sign a prenuptial agreement, in the unlikely event things should ever get that far.
How is Hydra's latest tutor?

Still no tutor. Rodolphus continues to fill in. At least he knows better than to lie to me about what goes on in their lessons.

We should be so lucky.
Are you worried about her readiness for school next year? If you'd like you can bring Hydra over during the boys Christmas hols and we can see how much she knows compared to Harry and Draco.

It would be good, though, to see how she measures up to the boys.
