Private message to Mummy and Daddy

[alt_hydra]

I did what you asked. I don't know if I did it right, but I told her about my horse and asked about the baby. We also talked about my classes, and she told me what she studied at Hogwarts.

Am I supposed to keep talking to her? What do I do now?

From,
Hydra

Talk to her when it feels appropriate and natural. Do not force the matter.

Your arithmancy homework is rather weakly done, by the way. I suggest you increase your efforts.

[alt_hydra]

I'm already reading

Yes, Mummy.

[alt_rodolphus]

Talk to who, exactly?

[alt_bellatrix]

Why does it matter who? It was at her Mummy's request.

[alt_rodolphus]

- Wait,

Nymphadora? That's the only person she's written to in her journal lately.

Why would you request that Hydra


Has this something to do with Level 13?

[alt_bellatrix]

And again, why does it matter?

[alt_rodolphus]

It matters because I dislike the notion of your using our daughter to further your investigation, that's why.

Particularly without my knowledge.

[alt_bellatrix]

Oh, dislike it all you want.

[alt_rodolphus]

We'll discuss this later.

[alt_bellatrix]

Don't be a fool - of course we won't.

The only authority I answer to is His, and He feels that this must be done, by any and all means necessary.

Now quit over-reacting. I but asked Hydra to write a friendly message to a cousin. That is the end of her involvement.

[alt_rodolphus]

It had fucking well better be.

[alt_bellatrix]

Stop trying to make a fight happen. It won't.

[alt_hydra]

What's Level 13?

From,
Hydra

Privates message to Hydra Lestrange

Put the quill down. Now.

Do you think your Mummy is an idiot? You must. You must think that all of her years and years of experience and training has left her thick and dull-headed. Perhaps you've concluded that all those occasions on which she out-witted some of the most traitorous criminals of our time were happy, blundering accidents.

You added your Father to the private message when there was absolutely no cause to, and I will not have you invoking him as a way to avoid dealing with me directly.

Do it again and you will regret it.

Now, be a good girl and get some extra help with your arithmancy.
