Are you as swamped with last minute panic over OWLs as I am? I certainly want drink and distraction tonight. And good grief, Capper. A few things, so I don’t forget them later.

First: If you met Victoriana on a Tuesday afternoon in New London, you could use meeting up with me after as an excuse if she tried to drag the conversation out uncomfortably. (And if we had supper somewhere public after, it might also squash any gossip before it starts.)

Do you need ideas on locations? I think Campanella and I have eaten recently at several places near the Ministry that suit a visibly public but actually private conversation that might suit.

Second: I keep coming back to the transcripts from the April YPL meeting. Would you be willing to have a look at them - one bit in particular? Something’s still nagging at me about Stint in there. I’ve got the full transcript, plus my and Felix’s notes on body language and tone of voice.

(Doesn’t have to happen this weekend. But if there is something, I’d want to figure out the next step sooner than later.)

Third: Have any of your friends or relations expressed a desire to entertain you for your birthday? (I am sorry I’ve the YPL thing in the afternoon, but of course when we set the schedule, I had no idea I’d want to be otherwise occupied.) I'd understand if you want a night in New London or elsewhere without me, you know.

But if not, I’ve some plans of my own I’d like to finalise. You deserve a particularly excellent birthday this year, after all.

Those are both excellent ideas. You're getting good at navigating the waters of high society, you know. I'd give Narcissa credit there more than I'd give it to myself. And we can go anywhere- your choice. I'd advise something not too over-the-top romantic, lest it look like I've got a reason to be guilty, hah.

I'll look at the transcript, sure. You can give it to me tonight. Anything in particular you want me to pay attention to? Aside from signs of Stint being a complete arse, that is?

Oh, I don't know about birthdays, no one's said anything to me. With the recent news that I might be father to a fifteen year old girl, I'm feeling decidedly old and not particularly happy about celebrating my approaching antiquity.

You know, Barty asked if Bole had gotten her pregnant. Bloody Erebus, if that were the case, I'd be a bludgering grandfather. Merlin have mercy on-

Have I mentioned that you're taking this all very well?

Relaxing will be good- as for happy, well, let's just see how my visit with Vic goes, first.

No, understood. Not that my own biases won't colour my perspective, but it's probably best I not know your thoughts in advance. And if you need someone to get you to set it aside and stop poking at it, I'm doubly happy to take it out of your hands.

She does seem to have grown up well enough. Part of me feels it's a shame Vic couldn't have let things be and kept her uncertainties to herself, as it quite seems to have undone the girl these last few months, if her little downward trajectory is any indication.

But then- secrets that heavy... I suppose they're bound to get out, eventually.


I'm sure I will adore my present to bits. You've got a good record, there. And I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to slip away if I can plan around it in advance- provided my old-man memory lets me remember to do so.
