No, it was a very unexpected but entirely personal family matter. In fact, I have been spending time with my niece. We've been making a girls' day of it - tomorrow as well.
As it turns out, she adores horses. I'll see if she's interested. I was planning to take her back to the Manor for the weekend but it seems Lucius decided to bring Harry and Draco here to Kensington instead of Wiltshire. So we may well stay over, which would make Saturday a distinct possibility.
As for Lucius, he made his own decision to return, despite my urging to complete the scheduled holiday with the boys. I've a feeling he was bored by all the relaxation. I rather enjoyed the opportunity to catch up on my reading. I hadn't heard of any sort of dust-up at the Ministry. Has it been worth the trouble?
Perhaps you'll be good enough to take lunch with me while Hydra's robes are being tailored, and tell me all about the disturbance.
