The dinner last night went off without a hitch (except for the presence of certain future brother-in-laws, which I couldn't do much about, but he behaved). It really was lovely, even though I kept telling Mother there was no reason at all for it to have been nearly that formal. I appreciate that they're proud of me being Head Girl, but it was

But Andromeda, our cousin had what was coming to him. How could he not be blasted off the tapestry? Did you expect anything else?

I don't think I will speak of him, anymore.

Regardless of this cousin business, I agree that the dinner went well. But why do you have to think so badly of Lucius? I'm very proud of your being named Head Girl - though I admit that I didn't expect differently. You're a Black and you're an excellent student, too.

No, Sirius didn't have what was coming to him, he shouldn't have been blasted off the tapestry, I expected his parents would have been rational, and I don't think he'd mind you not speaking of him, either, to be very honest. You know how I feel about it, Cissy, I'm not going to change my mind and I'm not going to stop talking to - or about - him. It isn't as though he's ceased to exist because of one stupid tapestry, whatever you all seem to want to believe.

Thank you, about getting Head Girl - that means a lot, Cissy, really. And ask Lucius how well he thinks of me, that should answer your question. I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to us not being chummy.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't want to break friends just because of a silly cousin.

Well, I know you might not be Lucius's favourite witch in the world, but I was still hoping you might come over to dinner occasionally when I'm settled in at the Manor, Dromeda. You are still my sister.

There isn't anything silly ab Fine.

Of course I'll come over for dinner, don't be absurd. But I'm not sitting next to him.

I'll let Dobby know to consider that when he makes the seating arrangements.

But that's still quite far off in the future, of course.

Thanks. Not to be immature, but if you'd rather your dinners have a minimum of snark - and he's as bad about it as I am, you know he is - that may be best.

Lucius can come off a little strong, I know, but he's very sweet, really. I promise it's just that you don't know him well enough.

I'll just have to take your word for it.
