Erratum

This morning over breakfast Narcissa pointed out that I misremembered which 'Alice' had been Amanda's tormentor at Hogwarts. Alice Cadwallader was two years ahead of Amanda, and while she did make a nuisance of herself, it was more in the way of trying to ingratiate herself; Alice Prewett was the shirty Hufflepuff with the temerity to berate Amanda for refusing to consort with blood-traitors.

Of course, Narcissa is much better at keeping track of these things than I, since she was still at school during Amanda's second year, and since she has an impeccable memory for social interaction. Despite all the excitement and ... consternation over Regulus's return, she is still able to recall instantly the details of nearly twenty years ago.

I confess I have been somewhat harangued of late, what with the Quibbler and seeing that Regulus is back and ... mostly ... whole, but I marvel at Narcissa's ability to keep it all straight and still keep a level head about her. Paracelsus knows, I can scarce be bothered to remember the names of all the Wizengamot, much less some snippy blood-traitor whom Amanda used as a lesson in standing up for herself.

After breakfast, Narcissa and I went round to Grimmauld Place again, to ensure that he is comfortably installed - as comfortably as possible, of course - and that Walburga is back on the mend as well.

Regulus's arm appears to be healing well. I still wonder that he did not come to Our Lord immediately, and as he now sees, his rashness in delaying has had permanent consequences. But certainly, it could have been far worse.

He is lucky Our Lord so acutely desired him back among His loyal circle.

Small wonder the peacocky snob requires a social secretary and a wife to remember things for him. I imagine that going so many years without using his brain means that he has left crucial bits of it behind.

Oh, go ahead and laugh, Minerva. Merlin knows we've earned it. And it feels JOLLY GOOD to be able to say, if only to myself and you that LUCIUS MALFOY IS A MISERABLE WRETCH OF A STUCK-UP NOSEY PARKER, um, um--my words are failing me.

I hadn't thought to use the Order Only that way - but it will feel good, won't it, when they're being awful?

Molly, dear, are you sure this is wise?

Perhaps not, but I think I'm done now.

For the moment.

Oh, go on, Arthur.

Heaven knows you have to kowtow to the odious git all too often when he's 'inspecting' the camps.

Molly, I see where the twins get it, whether you want to admit it or not.

Wait a minute . . . I just re-read the wretched entry.

What's this about Reg's arm? What's he talking about?

It would seem that my little brother threw his lot back in with the Death Eaters. And got burned for it, not surprisingly. It boggles my mind to think that he can still call Bellatrix and the rest of them family when they'd stand by while his 'Lord and master' does something so horrific.

If I'm reading my cousin's taunts in Reg's journal correctly, our enemy required a show of my brother's loyalty, sincerity - whatever you call it.

It makes me sick.

I had it from Rosier this morning - it's true.

Well, if you put it that way . . .

Hmm. Prat.

Toff-nosed tosser.

Pillock.

Molly's right, it does feel rather . . . freeing.

Think I've got it out of my system now, though.

That's the stuff, Arthur.

Take the piss, mate. It'll make you feel better next time you meet up with the blighter in person.

And yes, Minerva, I reckon we all need to act like twelve-year-olds on occasion. Nothing wrong with letting off a bit of steam.

Just mind none of you get yourselves into a spot when you're face-to-face.
