Private Message to Dominic Selwyn and Percy Weasley

[alt_lucius]

Weasley why did you not tell me that Froissart had left a message about the Beauxbatons delegation?

Dominic, it seems we must revisit the question of that halfblood to whom you objected. Delacour. The young woman selected in her place, Mlle Dulonges, has suffered a rather grievous injury in her Potions lesson this morning and will be unable to travel for ... several months. Madame Maxime insists that her protégé be reconsidered from the list of alternates.

Don't believe we need discuss at the Board of Governors' meeting this after-noon but if you think it necessary .... Certain Peakes would oblige if you cared to make an issue of it. At this point, cannot imagine that her 'unfair advantage' (that is what you called it, if I recall) will afford her any more benefit than an over-abundance of invitations to the Yule Ball. Froissart reports her skills are adequate at best.

In any event, it is of no consequence to me at this juncture. Let the chit come and fail, and let that be a testament to the follies of miscegenation.

Eh, so be it. It's clear Maxime is determined to foist the creature on us, one way or another.

Do you think the meeting will run long? I have a great deal to do yet today.

Perhaps she means the slattern to ensnare an English husband and thus dispel her own taint.

As for the meeting, let us hope not. Or if it does, Peakes had best have brought the Scotch - and not just for Minerva!

I am sorry I failed to draw your attention specifically to the note in your box, sir.

You are paid - well, I might add - to separate wheat from chaff. Precisely what is the point of a clerk who cannot discern the difference?

You might have said something as I arrived. Runcorn could have waited another five minutes; as it happens, he could have waited until Doomsday.
