If you are supposed to cook pudding, why is it served cold?
This "cooking" thing is so much harder than I'd orginally estimated. I simply don't understand how people can mix things as tasteless as flour and milk and get the dishes that arrive warmed (or chilled) at the table

I've heard only positive opinions on you from Millicent and the rest of the coterie, even despite that strange disappearance of yours a few years back. That's what war does to people and old acquaintances. However, with the dreadful war over now, I am sure we can all re-establish the old connections. Do drop by our humble abode for a proper dinner sometime this week. I am sure Millicent will be delighted.

How peculiar that you have heard only positive opinions. I thought for certainty that my strange disappearance had ended my connections with the rest of the coterie, as you call them.
I am certain, however, that your abode would not be called 'humble' under any stretch of imagination. Indeed, I expect it to be inconcievably
You did hear I sold the Manor, did you not?

Merlin, I asked for that. See if the stuckup bastard wants to resume acquaintences now. Why can't I just tell him to go take a long flight with a short broom?

As much as you may wish we have all forgotten you (what a modest little butterfly you are!), that is a far cry from the truth. Your dry and often odd humour and intelligence are sorely missed.
Well, why won't you examine whether our abode would be considered humble or else then? I am sure, after having sold the Manor, which is a true pity, you must be missing that air of quality that only Pureblood houses may have.

The air is certainly different in pureblood homes, isn't it?
A 'modest little butterfly'? My, Montague, you have become rather florid in your old age. I don't believe I could ever refer to myself as a butterfly, modest or not. I thought you rather hated butterflies
I suppose I should examine your abode, shouldn't I? No need to make snap judgments without a full investigation.

Who if not you would be able to tell the difference between Pureblood houses and the rest? Although, I suppose, Draco would compete you for the palm of superiority in this matter.
Yet a butterfly suits you perfectly - strange, isn't it? However, if it perplexes you so much, I shall withdraw my comment, so as to not have you any more perplexed.
Do examine. I have a feeling a plethora of fun is coming our way.

I have no desire to compete with Draco in anything. And continue to refer to me as a butterfly if it pleases you.
I am at your disposal.

See, you are not all lost, as some do suspect. Butterflies are forgotten for they were merely a jest.
I doubt you would really want to be at my disposal. Anytime you have a free this week, I would propose.

I was unaware I was lost at all. People suspect the oddest things, do they not?
I allow you to name the time and date, since it will be your home I am to enter. However, since I am on the Registery, it would be a good idea to have it as a luncheon instead of dinner.

They do. And it does get boring. Being lost is for the weaklings, is it not?
Morsus Mansion, Carlisle, Cumbria county, northwest England. It is up on the cliff above the sea. Thursday, 14.00.

Many things are for the weaklings.
I will be there.

Indeed.
We shall be awaiting you with unquenchable enthusiasm.
