alt_luciusThink it's high time we hosted a reception for Our Lord's newer initiates. Perhaps shortly after Tosha and Savitha finish with the CCF students and Draco and the others are home.
Will you see to the arrangements? Up to you whether it's at Kensington or the Manor.
Be sure to include Julius Avery. With any luck we can make sure of his support before anyone else - though given who witnessed his Mark, it seems unlikely.

I suppose we could frame it as a going away party for Draco, Harry, and Hydra? The last Saturday in August, perhaps? Would that do?

Imperative Toshenka be able to attend, however, and Razzer and the others. We can discuss the invitation list this evening.
When do you expect to be home?

Perhaps there is a way to combine the two, or at least to arrange that the young people you need to see are included earlier than two weeks from now. Would that suit?
As for coming home, very shortly. Hydra and I have had a marvellous day but it's well past teatime and we're both starting to feel the need for cakes and fresh fruit. But her new robes look adorable and we found a new hat and shoes that are simply divine.
I may have bought a few other little things, too. And I even found you more of those shirts you like.
We can talk once Hydra's had her tea, my love.
