Private message to Barty

[alt_rodolphus]

How go the preparations for nuptial bliss?

Can't imagine the headache of trying to pull that off in such a short span of time. It's fortunate that your young bride seems to enjoy such things- thrives on them, even. She's already owled me to ask if I will ceremonially pass her off to Phillip Greengrass just before he escorts her down the aisle - a touching gesture which I at once agreed to.

Which reminds me: I do so look forward to referring to you as nephew in a way that is bound to irritate.

Truth, though, I look forward to the merging of our families once again, and wish you all happiness.

Before that, care to celebrate your last weeks of bachelorhood? Snowdonia, Pseudonymity, the choice is yours. If it's the latter, though, I may be tempted to call in a favour.

In less light-hearted questions, do you know if the Missus has tried to come to Hogwarts to see Hydra or?

Cheers.

Daphne is a wonder at planning. Am finding entertainment in allowing her to indulge her talents. (And enjoyment in helping her cultivate new ones.)

A celebration of the waning days of bachelorhood has strong appeal. And OL has graciously restored a bit of leisure time to my week. This week, at least. So let's seize the opportunity.

Tell me about this favour you'd ask if I choose Pseudonymity. It's not a bit of my hair you're after, is it? Daphne's?

As for your last, she has not. No idea what she plans, either. Our paths have scarcely crossed since last week. Her extra-departmental work has increased as mine's diminished.

Ready when you are.

You're a handsome man, Barty, but no. Now, if it were Daphne's, would you object? If so, I withdraw. Plenty of other curiosities to explore.

Ah. I'd ask the Missus myself, but it seems treacherous to remind her of my existence. Best if she's preoccupied.

[alt_crouch_jr]

Glad it doesn't seem to be Bella's hair you're after. That's a line not to be crossed, as recent events have reminded us.

Perhaps I ought to congratulate you on having recovered?

In any case, if it's a pseudoDaphne you're after, I'm happy to aid and abet.

As for bachelor celebrations... why not Pseud and then Snowdonia? Would not at all mind seeing Maebh.

[alt_rodolphus]

Mordred, no. And if it were - well, appearance is hardly what makes Bella, Bella. I assume the same can be said for Daphne, but one always knows that the Pseud experience is just an approximation.

Keen to revisit all your old haunts, I see. I'll be the last one to dissuade you.

When?

[alt_crouch_jr]

Tomorrow or Saturday at Pseud?

Next weekend in Snowdonia? Might be best if you made the booking there.

[alt_rodolphus]

Saturday will feature the crème de la crème. None of that mid-week rabble.

Snowdonia for next weekend. Consider it booked.
