Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

Laugh all you wish. But if you've anything to suggest, I'd welcome it.

The flowers were sent. And the girl returned them.

Pennifold's just confirmed it.

Am I obliged to write an apology? Or may I ignore it?

Blast and damn. (And no, I'm not proposing to say either to the girl.)

Oh, yes, it's certainly traditional.

For indicating to a lady that you've romantic intentions toward her!

I'm sending you a copy of Dorothea Whisp's A Wizard's Guide to Floral Etiquette. I'm surprised you hadn't seen it on your mother's shelf.

Rather makes me wonder about that bouquet you sent last year. Someone put thought into that arrangement, at least.

Narcissa.

Yes. Thank you. Your parcel arrived this morning. To the delight and merriment of everyone in the department.

Daggenham was especially appreciative to have attention turned away from his appalling apologia for the Grue's Tales and their author. He will not soon live down having penned that love letter to Black.

So, yes, indeed. Thank you so very much for returning the focus of all Our Lord's Aurors to my idiocy. I'm certain the realm will be safer for our collective distraction.
