Owl to Sweden

[tragitragedy]

Drosselmeyer fully intended to make good on his bribe to the Sorting Hat, and so:

My good sir,

I hear that you have quite a talent for building, and I find myself in need of a puppet theater. I hope that you might offer your services in constructing one for me. In either case, I shall wait for your reply.

Sincerely yours,
Herr DrosselmeyerAfter

Mr. Drosselmeyer,

Give me the dimensions and preferences for building materials, appearance, etc., and I will do so.

Drosselmeyer knew exactly what he wanted and just how to demand it, but the mun is not necessarily so good at such things, and has found instead a picture, thinking that one of these would be a very nice puppet theater.

After a thorough description of his preferences he added:

If you should require recompense for this service you do for the school, I would be most happy to intercede to the Sorting Hat for payment on your behalf.

Sincerely yours,
Herr Drosselmeyer

Based on the gossip he'd heard concerning the Hat's idea of favors, hopefully Sweden would be wary enough of how the Hat might decide to "repay" him that Drosselmeyer would be off the hook as far as compensation went. If not... he'd come up with a new plan.

Mr. Drosselmeyer,

That will be completely unnecessary. I am fine having something to do without repayment.

Sweden.

Like hell he was accepting anything from the Sorting Hat.
