It just occured to me today...

Should we begin looking for a new wife for Augustus?

Inquiring minds want to know!

The joys of arranging other peoples' lives. Any other matchmaking I can do at the Ministry?

Not presuming to speak for him myself, it occurs to me that, what with what's happened with his last few, he may wish to have a nice rest between wives or something like that, but not being experienced in such matters myself, as Porpentia and I have been happily married for sixty-five years. It's not right, going through wives like that . . . but to each his own, I suppose.

Let's make it clear. We're not talking about Rookwood's feelings here. I want him to marry someone I have connections to.

Yes, Newt, I suppose we two are a little too old fashioned in our personal marital backgrounds to completely understand Augustus.

Still, I have Augustus's happiness first and foremost in my mind.

Old fashioned? Your husband's a fascist! ...I suppose that is considered old fashioned these days...

Well... I suppose if he doesn't object... as I said before, I don't presume to speak for him. But think of the poor woman before you try anything.

[honorstudentmum]

Why are you still talking when you obviously have no interest in the subject?

Of course, Newt. Thanks for the input.

I have no objections to being a mistress.

I couldn't possibly think of anyone, Isabel, unfortunately.

[honorstudentmum]

I saw you making eyes at him at the gala. But you're too close to that woman for my tastes.

Don't worry, Ariadne. Congratulations on your promotion, by the way.

Why does everyone know about this?!

Er, I won't. Thank you.

[honorstudentmum]

You're very welcome. Just as a matter of curiousity, does the Minister still have you make the coffee, or can you delegate that job now?

[aparkinson]

If I said yes, would that make me a horrid person, for obviously having no social life?

Please, Mrs. Crouch, do not let Rita Skeeter say that. For the sake of my paper, please.

[honorstudentmum]

hmmm... you're an interesting possibility.

Annika, you really should come over for tea some time. I haven't seen you for so long.

As for Miss Skeeter, should I get Barty to authorize the Unforgivables on her if she gives you any trouble? ;-)

Re:

[aparkinson]

Tea? That sounds lovely, Mrs. Crouch.

And please, if you could. ;) In all honesty, she's rather headache-inducing.

[honorstudentmum]

Well, we'll discuss Rita-combatting schemes over a plate of crumpets. :-)

After the last 4 it has come to my attention that perhaps I am not all that suited to marriage, Isabel. Though I am, of course, flattered that you thought of me I don't think I could take you up on the offer of matchmaking.

[honorstudentmum]

Oh don't be so downhearted, Augustus! I'm sure you'll find the perfect woman some day when you're least expecting it.

Re:

[secretagent_man]

Or you'll find the perfect woman for me, hm?
