Private message to Mr Lucius Malfoy

[alt_percy]

Please be assured that I am standing by and able to assist if you need me to come in. For anything.

(And...well, I am sure it may sound a little strange under the circumstances, but I do sincerely wish you many happy returns on the occasion of your natal day.)

Thank you, Weasley. It has been one of the ... busier anniversaries in recent memory.


Believe the arrangements are well in hand, given the somewhat unexpected gestures Our Lord extended last evening. However, should like you to contact Ari Baddock to-morrow and also Victarius Runge with information on the families.

In confidence, since you will likely know by evening and need to know by morning: Stephen Rosier has offered to take up Warrington's post in the interim while Dominic selects a permanent replacement. Believe from the subject of Dominic's private messages that he has decided to loan your elder brother to Stephen as an aide.

Rosier and Baddock, along with several other members of the Council, are involved in the process of re-examining the genealogical lines of the deceased, particularly Sharpe, in order to determine if their heirs and direct relations may be decreed pureblood. For the others, there are other compensatory plans in which the Council shall be involved. Expect there shall be a number of meetings to determine the appropriate details. It is not often Our Lord chooses to exact such - direct - sacrifice on behalf of the people, though it is of course a testament to the bravery and honour of the Protectorate.


One other thing. Kindly arrange a delivery to Miss Robins. Although to my knowledge she was no longer directly involved with Mr Cameron, believe that his loss may have come as a blow to her, regardless. Something suitable for the condolence of an acquaintance, if you please.

Understood, sir. On all counts.

Of course, the circumstances are...regrettable unusual. But I'm absolutely certain Mr Rosier will be more than happy with Bill's services, sir.
