Sorry we were rather swamped with other conversation at dinner. To answer the question I ducked (because, really, I do not need my personal life entirely gossiped about by the rest of the staff more than it already is), well.
Raz took very good care of me - a nice quiet supper out, and then we stayed at Spence, and the time with him was very much a restorative. I had a decent enough nap this afternoon, too. Still thinking over a lot of things, and expect to be for some time to come, now I haven’t the distraction of the investigation to stop me.
It went well enough in the end, though the combination of the invited guests was about as bad as I’d feared it might be. (Lucius Malfoy was rather more help keeping things on track than I’d expected, and a bit terse by the end at this wasting his time - more at the committee than at me, thankfully.) Bellatrix Lestrange was as pointed as ever, but I’d expected that much. There are apparently deeper political things going on, and I don’t even want to try and speculate at the causes.
Right. Now I'm for the tower for a bit, and maybe not thinking about a few things and thinking about others. Still quite busy through this week, but maybe tea early next?
