Private message to Narcissa

[alt_rodolphus]

Narcissa - I imagine that you're not getting Draco back as soon as you had hoped, as he no doubt has been chosen to continue on for the cadet programme screening. That being the case, would you be interested in having your nephew (and his nanny, of course) visit for a few days? I'm trying to balance both Hydra and work here, and find myself guilty of keeping Rigel with Mrs Baylock too often.

Please don't feel that you must say yes. I was planning to ask Druella next.

-R.

Apologies, I ought to have been clearer.

Hydra is already at home. I took her from the school on Monday morning. She had already finished her exams, and it seemed best she return...for a variety of reasons.

I should mention that Bella doesn't know that Hydra is already here.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Yes. Well ... I'll have Netty give the nursery an airing out today, then.

In that case, why don't you and Hydra come along for supper and you can leave Rigel beginning tonight?

Thank you, Narcissa. That sounds quite agreeable.
