He's lucky the curse effect can be neutralised in stasis. Though it can take quite a long time, I have heard, for the benefit to show.

Narcissa is much improved over the last week. I daresay she is almost back to herself. She did declare herself too young to be a grand-aunt, though I note that did not deter her from insisting on seeking out Mrs Ponds and her new addition. Cannot complain, as her exposure seems to have restored the colour to what had been decidedly wan cheeks.

Know she did appreciate Bella's words of reassurance but am convinced the only thing that will really set her at ease is hearing that Barty has caught the bastards - all of them - responsible.
