Private message to Narcissa

[alt_rodolphus]

- Narcissa, hello. It didn't miss my eye that you wrote to Hydra.

Tell me, how is she doing?

As much as I would like to inquire after her myself, Bella's definition of "interference" has become so tight that I'm keeping my quill to myself, for now.

To give you an idea of what I mean: I'm ensconced in my workshop at Le'Strange and am to be nowhere near St. James during the school hols. Not until I've proven my absolute trust in Bella's authority over our daughter.

And while it would be rather diverting to test the limits Bella's rules, I've only just recovered from the last time.

Yes, Bella has never scrupled to leave anything off the table. Particularly when she smells any sort of weakness.


By the way, Hydra seems to believe you merely felt betrayed by her attachment to the boy, and that is why you've reversed your support (tentative though it was) of their promise to each other.


That wasn't the whole reason, was it?


How is Mrs Sandoval-Pennifold? It did not escape my notice that you've written her for the first time in a long while.

As you know, it is never a question of if dear Bella will use some nugget of knowledge against you - it's only a question of when.

She has impeccable timing.

I fully expect that Mrs Sandoval-Pennifold is well as ever.
