Re: Private message to Narcissa Malfoy and Arca Sinistra

Narcissa -

Oh, lovely. I'm so glad it's convenient for you.

I do seem to be having more than the usual run of difficulties with her, yes. Part of that, I suspect, is that it's clear I'm not conforming to her ideal. But I think it's also - well, it's probably no surprise to say that she considers me a threat to her rapport with students. Not that I've said a word directly against her, but then I haven't really had to - her own actions do speak rather clearly.

And there is a certain category of witch who seems convinced that I cannot possibly manage my life without their particular wisdom - there's more than a little of that with Dolores as well. While I'll tolerate it to a degree from my aunts and older cousins (though only so far, mind), I refuse to from her, and that may be a sticking point indeed.

Antosha, well. He and Raz and I talked quite a bit on Friday, but mostly about other topics (amusing embarrassing moments, largely, given the matter with Miss Lovegood last week.) He was rather sympathetic on Sunday, when Dolores messaged, but yesterday was rather filled with a pair of challenges in one of his classes. (Everyone is fine, but it took a bit of sorting out.) He has offered whatever help he can be, and I will take his advice most seriously - we just need more than a handful of minutes to talk it through.

Raz is, well. Restraining himself and avoiding her until he can manage his usual charming face to her again. But I'm sure he'll have ideas once we get a chance to talk. (I'm waiting for him now, actually, but he'll be at duelling club a while yet.)
