Private message to Tosha and Barty
- Gentlemen,
Now that we have been thoroughly persuaded to put pursuit of bigger game on hiatus, I wondered if you would be willing to assist me with a small side project I've been tending to the last month or two.
I find myself dissatisfied with the number of branches on the Lestrange Tapestry. You both know that the Missus and I wanted more children than the two we have, but fate made mockery of our efforts. No more can be done for that, but the longer I look at the truncation beneath Raz's name, the more I wonder how it was that he never once impregnated a single witch. His appetite for female company was legendary, and yet he left no heirs behind. Unless there is one or more that we don't know of. I aim to discover just that.
While I cannot say I relish sorting through my dead brother's various liaisons, it's a necessary task. I have already accounted for the notable relationships, but the many flings, one-nighters, and prostitutes must be accounted for, as well. Raz wasn't the sort to shag and tell if he could help it, but women do talk, and gossip will out.
May I send both a copy of the list I am compiling? If you know of any other names that should be added, please make adjustments as needed. Barty, I know that you and he visited Pseudonymity several times. And then there are those mysterious years in the 80s when he was frequenting Borough Market on the regular. Though I prefer he not have sprogged up some wayward Halfblood, I intend this investigation to be thorough, no matter the outcome.

Back issues of the gossip rags may help.

A fine notion, re: gossip rags. I scarcely glimpse them myself, and of course the Missus can't be bothered. Shouldn't be too difficult to track down.

Expect Victoriana Greengrass is already on your list. That's the one I know he had doubts about in that regard. But so far as I know, he ruled that out.
Send your list along. Should make interesting reading.

I'd already crossed née Montague off the list, but never heard that Raz had doubts about her. When was that? Spirited girl, as I recall; too much so even for him. One wonders how her mild husband manages.
Before he married, he had a long-standing 'arrangement' with a serving witch in Hogsmeade. After that the trail runs cold. Either he was faithful to his wife or learned absolute discretion.
