Private Message to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy

Everything quiet there, I trust?

Work in progress is the word still from Rodolphus. And we're working our end of things vigorously.

It would be wise if you remained on guard. I don't want to alarm you unduly, and I'm not recommending that either of you cancel all engagements, but extra precautions would not be amiss.

Narcissa, I hope you're feeling more yourself soon.

It does seem wise at the moment to take extra precautions, and I'm certain you'll work around the difficulties.

I think you might better see it as adding strength upon strength.

Good. I'm glad you've a lighter day for this first one back in New London.

I intend to start my day at the Ministry, sharing reports, but by afternoon I anticipate I'll be for Ipswich again. I could send someone to see you to Witch Weekly if that would ease the transition to your new security arrangements. You've only to say the word--either of you--and I'll see it done.

There's no need for an escort while I am able to Floo directly from one place to another, I'm sure. And I've no intention of strolling through Green Park at the present. Though I shall miss being able to take in the Kensington gardens for the time being, after Mr Cooper worked so hard on them.

Still, Lucius assures me it's only a temporary measure and perhaps a very temporary one at that.
