Owl fom the Repopulation Office

[alt_molly]

I received an owl today from the Repopulation Office, with such a gracious invitation! They have chosen to spotlight our family at the Twelfth Night festivites in New London this weekend, given Arthur's heroism, and the large size of our family. We are being honoured for our devotion to pureblood principles...isn't that wonderful? I'm truly touched. The Committee has arranged a hotel stay for us for Friday and Saturday nights, too. That will certainly make it much easier for the children to catch the train back to Hogwarts on Sunday. We'll be part of the presentation on Saturday afternoon at 2:00--oh, gracious, I have to make sure everyone has nice clothes. Apparently, there will be press there, too.

Ginny, I think this will work out all right with your invitation to stay overnight tonight with Honoria. You can simply join us at the hotel tomorrow night instead of flooing home.

They also sent me a ticket to the Twelfth Night Ball. Plus one. What, are they expecting me to get started on a new family now? I'm a little too old to bear any more babies for the Protectorate!

Well then, invite me as your date, Mum. I wouldn't mind attending in the company of the most beautiful woman in the room.

We can maybe turn it into an opportunity, depending on who we speak with.

Flatterer!

And yes. I suppose we should make use of any opportunities that we can. Which is why I'm going to the wretched thing anyway.

I know perfectly well that this invitation is due to your kindness in looking out for my family. Thank you so much.

Next week, perhaps we can meet again to discuss some of your other proposals for my family's support. Bill and I have come to the conclusion that they make practical sense, and we agree; we'd like to discuss the details further.

You are most entirely welcome.

And I'll have my clerk schedule a time with you.

That's quite wonderful about the Repopulation Office's invitation, Mum! And I'm proud that they want to recognise Dad that way.

By the way...don't expect me at the Burrow for dinner. Now that I'm back at work, I have quite a few things to deal with here at the office. Mr Malfoy has very kindly ordered dinner in. I will probably be quite late.

You are being so marvellously brave, dearest. I'm glad we'll be seeing you before, at the meeting.
