I have neglected this journal for many months, and I do not know why I am picking it up again now. I do not have any news to report or any feelings to share, and if I did I would choose not to share it with the general public.

I suppose I write now only to organize the dinner party I am planning in honour of the staff at Hogwarts. Invitations were ( Read more... )

Narcissa,

Considering your upcoming dinner-party includes two of my Housemates on the guest list, I feel it incumbent upon me to alert you to the trivial realities of their condition which may have slipped your notice.

As both Miss Connors and Professor Lupin are lycanthropes, they must not come into contact with any silver. Not in flatware or tea-service or even during the course of meal-preparation.

Knowing your conscientiousness in these things, I am certain you would be mortified if one of your guests was inadvertently poisoned - and such a mishap could be very severe, indeed, for these individuals. I thought I would take the liberty to remind you, so as to avoid any embarrassing situations.

Severus,

I assure you, I was already aware of Professor Lupin's condition and have given explicit instructions to the kitchens on the preparation of the dinner.

The tea-service will be made of the finest china and the dinner settings shall be crystal. You do not have any need to worry about your dear friends. They shall be well taken care of in my home.

Of course. I ought to have known you would make appropriate arrangements, being the skilled hostess you are. However, as I have often admired the silver cutlery you often have at your dinner parties, it seemed incumbent upon me to offer the caution. Particularly as I was not aware if you knew there was not one, but two lycanthropes on the invitation list.

However, I must correct you on one point, Narcissa, as you know me too well for me not to take issue with your semantics. Professor Lupin and Miss Connors are respected colleagues and valued allies, but I do not care for the appellation of friend, 'dear' or otherwise.

Severus,

Of course, my mistake. Thank you for your concern. I shall look forward to seeing you on the thirtieth.
