alt_luciusNolan Tenebridge visited the house this week-end, with a copy of the new Weird Sisters album. I've sent it along to Draco and Harry.
Nolan has been a friend of the family as long as I can remember. He and my father attended Hogwarts around the same time. In my final year, he helped arrange for Ari, Tony, and myself, along with Ludo Bagman and several young ladies of our acquaintance to attend a Warlocks concert over Christmas holidays, and to go backstage afterward. I think Serena and Ari may have got engaged that same evening, she was so impressed by meeting Lehonn, Clancy, Sean, and Art.
For a man his age, Nolan is looking extraordinarily well. Though I think the visit--and the album copy--have more to do with an invitation to join the Board of Presto Records than nostalgia on his part. We've had a share in the company for some time; I suppose it's natural to sit on the Board at some point.
Presto's Board introduces yet another complexity to the agenda ... I confess I'm not certain that I have the time. I'm sure Draco would appreciate the continued copies, but honestly, it's simple enough to get those.
Speaking of Boards, however, I must contact Cumulus first thing tomorrow. Harry Marvolo has been appointed Seeker for Slytherin, and after consulting with Horace Slughorn, the Lord Protector has given his son's placement on the team his blessing. The NRBC should be more than pleased for Harry to fly one of their brooms in his matches.
On that note ... the Lord Protector has asked me to pay a visit to Hogwarts in light of all the disturbing reports generated by the Journal Project. Headmistress McGonagall has been providing adequate guidance in the matter of the Mudbloods' service, but the intermingling of the servant caste with the students has produced some side effects that are not altogether desirable. I am to see for myself how the students are reacting to the constant exposure and report my findings.
With that in mind, Minerva, please provide Crispin with the schedule of the Slytherin matches for the year, so that he can be sure to put them on my agenda and the Lord Protector's. And kindly arrange for Harry and Draco to join me for tea this Wednesday. I shall confirm with Crispin in the morning and have him send you an owl. Narcissa may wish to join us as well.

Date: 2008-09-15 02:22 am (UTC)As to whether he addresses the school ... that all depends on whether the school needs to be addressed, does it not? Of course, I am sure your pupils will be more than pleased to be gifted with our Lord Protector's inspirational words, should he choose to provide them. Nonetheless, and make no mistake, much will depend on the disposition of the student body, particularly with regard to whether the Mudblood servants continue to present as significant a disruption as they have this fortnight.
Let us hope that their novelty will subside before too much longer and that the students shall become accustomed to afford them no more thought than one would the house ghosts or the portraits on the walls.

Date: 2008-09-15 02:30 am (UTC)The students are not the only ones disrupted by the Mudblood servants: the house-elves are off their feed and quite upset at being "usurped." I have had to have words with them frequently. It doesn't seem to be anything the Mudbloods are doing, though - their very presence is taken as an insult.
However, they are very useful and therefore I suppose must stay.
In any case, I am sure that the novelty will, as you say, subside.
