alt_lanaIt was a pleasant surprise to see you at Mrs Malfoy's gathering on Saturday. I hadn't realised you had such a close connection with the Lestranges.
Wasn't little Rigel adorable? Has such a winning way about him, doesn't he? Though I think he knows it, too. And just turned two!
I was sorry that the constraints of seating at luncheon and on the barge meant that I hadn't a chance really to catch up with you. I did want to thank you for all you continue to do for the students involved in the Young Protectors' League; that is such an important programme for bringing our youth to a proper sense of their place in Our Lord's realm. My family is particularly grateful for the way in which you have taken my sister Honoria in hand. She does seem finally to be seeing the value of education. In any case, her marks were much improved this year, and I've told Mama that I believe it is very much down to your extending yourself for those children who take part in the YPL. I've always admired the fact that you model one of the paths young witches with keen intellect may successfully pursue, and you do it without entirely compromising your femininity.
I do worry a bit--we all do--that Honoria has not yet found quite the right 'set' to surround herself. Frankly, I was relieved to find that she had been invited for the first week of the New London trip, but then distressed to learn that the group assembled for that session was not entirely as uniform as we might have hoped.
But enough about that. It was lovely to see you on Freedom Day; I only wish I'd had more opportunity to catch you up with my adventures. As you must have heard, I'm thriving in the Auror programme: the experience is so much more broadening than I could ever have imagined before embarking on it. I can scarcely believe that it's been just a year since I left school and began this challenging, harrowing, thrilling, amazing adventure! I should very much like to return to the school one day to share my experiences with the YPL: surely there are students coming up behind me who aspire to serve in Our Lord's Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
