alt_luciusIt has been quite the week. Must confess I am looking forward to getting back to normal.
Regulus, thank you for your generous apportion. Narcissa has decided that Lucretia's elf is best put to use, for the moment, in the disposition of your aunt's possessions. The assessors are scheduled to inspect any items of suspect value later this week. In the meantime, there are the other effects to which you cousins and aunts lay claim, as well as the house itself, which must be put in order for its sale.
Regarding the out-dated bequests, I spoke with Fox-Burton and Caldecott on Monday after the reception. Unfortunately, despite our discovery of Lucretia's written notes, there can be no alteration to the last attested will. Being that a full share of her holdings were therefore left to one wholly ineligible for inheritance, they are considered forfeit to the Protectorate.
However, I shall be arranging a meeting, along with Caldecott, with Gibson of the Properties Control Board and Rowle in the Protectorate Defence Force, to discuss what may be done to put the Protectorate's allocation to good use. I should think an endowment dedicated to rewards for information leading to the capture of any of Black's followers would be most appropriate. It almost makes up for Lucretia's negligence.
Narcissa herself is more than worn out by all the attention of the last few days. Do not think it merely fatigue, however. Believe she may actually be coming down with something - sorry to say there was a good deal of sniffling and coughing at both the memorial and reception. Most vexing. Why sensible wizards and witches will not protect themselves from the common cold is utterly unfathomable. Suggested she stay at home to-day with her own excellent remedial potions lest she succumb to a worse case of any illness. Certainly advised against risking St Mungo's in her condition!
Long timetable today, as well: Meeting at Department of Mysteries after tea.
