[Public]My friends and fellow wizards, as I am sure we all know, we live in trying times. First, an attack on our lives when the Dark Mark was flown, then an attack on a poor woman's livelihood when Mademoiselle Aurelius's store was ransacked, and now the beginnings of a defamation campaign against the ( Read more... )

Darling, I have not really spoken to Anna-Marie in a very long time. I chatted briefly with her at that gaudy party her spoiled brat of a daughter threw.

I do agree with you. We shall have no contact with them, and I shall urge Draco to stay away from Pansy, at least for the moment.

I think that whatever you think is best would be perfectly fine, dearest.

I have been becoming dear friends with one Millicent Morsus. Perhaps you know her husband, Montague, now of Cumbria? I myself had a lovely outing with him on the lakes in the very early summer, and he has a brilliant mind. I do believe that he would be useful to you, and vice versa. If you should like, I can discuss with Millicent any proposed plans you might have.

Yes, I believe I have met Mrs. Morsus, but I do not believe I have had the pleasure of meeting her husband. From what I have heard of him, though, his acquaintance could certainly be useful and, at the least, interesting. Do pass on my greetings and extend an invitation to tea or dinner or suchlike, if you are of a mind. Consider me in agreement on my attendance should you choose to do so.

I have a germ of an idea, but, at the moment, it is still too young yet to pass along. But you shall certainly be the first to hear of it once it ripens a tich more. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Eloquent as always, Lucius, though your offer for public interviews surprises me. Is it not enough that you have bared your soul in the riveting autobiography? Surely, any who have not read and understood the work are beneath your concern?

The public forgets the positive, Severus; it always forgets, as I am sure you are only too aware. It is always better to keep a relatively constant flow of painlessly positive news and information flowing out when one can in anticipation of any problems at a later point.

Besides, I was well aware that the Prophet would not touch my offer in any way, shape, or form. Everyone knows that rag is a mouthpiece for the Ministry and only occasionally gets both the facts right and completely presented only rarely. The single-minded Ministry is currently decided on one track it will not deviate from, and the Prophet supports that. Since they chose to throw their weight behind the arrest of that woman, my suggestion of anything that would cast a doubt on that arrest had to be ignored as the 'rumours' that it had to be.

As they say, talk is cheap.
