In your infinite spare time, I do want to look for a cottage, somewhere near you. Um. On the side away from Diane, please.
Doesn't need to be big, so much as several bedrooms (three, anyway: me, Linus, and a spare, at least for this year) and a reasonable sort of kitchen. Dad, check my figures, but I think the savings in my vault, and what Mum and I put aside out of Raz's before I gave it all over should cover something. Maybe?
(I haven't even asked about Spence yet. I'd like to be able to get some things in storage from there, the bed, and so on. But I can't imagine living there, and I can't even figure out who technically owns it now. Could be me, could be Tosha, or maybe Daphne's sisters, depending on wills and things and figuring that out will be a mess. But someone should see to the house elves and the art and some other things because those came from Raz, and I guess that part is mine to do. Not this month, though. So. Um. A cottage where we could put the incantatus from there, in the garden? Maybe?)
Mum, I'd say I can't believe that Dal and Trae convinced you, but I can. I've told Septima to expect them. Having Chiron's note helped, and I explained that Di's been doing exceedingly badly since May. But you're right that having them learn is better than not, and that Di's not in a place to make the best decisions for them, at all.
Storm, hug Hyssop for me, and Baz, and tell them I'll come visit when I can.
