Private Message to A Dolohov

[alt_crouch_jr]

Regret it was necessary to work after this afternoon's inspection. Our Lord's enthusiasm for this business is notable. We're fortunate in that, as by my own measure we've not had success equal to His own. Suppose He considers that to be expected.

This group were highly animated. Strikingly so. Perhaps it was His presence. Not entirely looking forward to finding out whether that will continue.

Should be home soon.

Did the parcel arrive that you were expecting? Anything of interest? (That she signed herself Prewett in her message to you. Boggles the mind.)

Boggles the mind indeed; I've no idea what she was thinking. Yes, I've received her package. Gone over it with a fine-toothed comb, too: nothing, although I'll certainly give it another pass later. Appears to be exactly what she says, though.

'Highly animated' -- you may feel free to imagine my expression at your sense of humour, lapushka. Highly re-animated is entirely more accurate. Did you notice their clothing? Muggle fashion that far out of date: at least now we know where He is acquiring the raw material.

I still do not know what He has in mind for them once we've managed to bring them to heel. If we are able to, of course.

If I am asleep when you get home it is only because I am so damnably exhausted. Wake me if you've any useful news to impart?
