Terror is only justice

How difficult is it to read the prices on large-print displays? Next time you come in, Thayer, bring your spectacles please. I do not get paid to follow you around and list the price each time something suits your fancy.

[Lucius]
How are you, old friend? Let me know if you would be interested in going for lunch sometime. I believe I may have some business at the Ministry in the near future.

[Ally]
Are you nervous? You only have four days until the event. Consider me your countdown clock.

[Regulus]
How is everything in London? I believe that it will not be too difficult to skulk around at the Ministry when you and my brother have your meeting. All I have to do is find the room with the refreshments and cast my disillusionment charm there. Listening from the shadows will be the easy part.

Of course if the meeting is in your office, I could hide inside assuming that you have a closet of sorts.

For the first time in my 24 years, I have finally met my match in food. During my latest business trip, I visited a Portuguese restaurant and ordered piri piri shrimp. The chef used African Birdseye peppers to marinate the shrimp, which are over ten times spicier than a Jalapeno according to the sources. Blew my mouth off, it was an exhilarating rush. Even if my mouth still burned the next day, the experience made me feel truly alive.

Brother, we have a problem. Danny & I were ordered to strike the MacMillan place last night, which you probably already knew. But both Auror Longbottoms showed up by the Floo Network and prevented us from killing everyone.

I succeeded in killing MacMillan's wife and I also landed a powerful blasting curse on Mrs Longbottom. Danny did an exceptional job against his foes, I believe. But I do not know all the details of his duel. I am sure he will fill you in when he wakes up eventually. But the two Longbottoms and her brother escaped with the wife's body and their young child. We had wards set up to prevent apparition. The Longbottoms portkeyed their family out.

The house has been completely obliterated from the face of the earth. Please let me know if I can answer any questions. Right now though I need to get treated for my own injuries, which are minor but problematic.

[Uncle Roman]
I am in need of medical assistance right away if possible. Nothing major but my wand arm has lost copious amounts of blood.

[Severus]
I dueled your old Auror nemesis late last night. I do believe she is the worse for wear after the experience.

Do you possess any potions that would allow me to counter significant blood loss?

[Danny, added later]
Are you all right?

My lobster dinner proved to be an impressive meal. Wispy has been spared for now

[Italy]
I have secured the assurances of three of my closest mates to serve as my wedding party. Regulus Black shall be my best man. Amycus Carrow and Severus Snape will be my groomsmen.

Are you well today? I trust the stress has cut down some since we shared dinner Friday night. I can do more to soothe your ills, you know. Of course, that would require...

[Regulus]
How did your Mum take the news? Is it safe to assume that she suggested you find a lady to court at the wedding? Maybe she will leave early fat chance there and you will be free to have fun without her prodding.

[Ally/Danny]

Congratulations on your engagement. You both deserve all the happiness that will come with your impending nuptials.

Mr Nott's words of wisdom give me hope that all is not lost in the older generation. We have come too far to risk falling apart over trivial issues of rapid courtships and engagements.

To all of you single blokes out there, I wish you luck in finding the partner of your dreams. I will be leaving your ranks come November.

[Private to Self]
She said YES! I cannot believe it! Come this time November, I will be married to the woman I love. Gods, she will be my wife. Thank Salazar she gave me a second chance. This is just amazing. Father and Mother are so pleased. I do not think Father has been this proud of me since I made Inner Circle, pity I do not have that anymore. But if I had to choose between Florence and that, I would choose her Merlin, I think I need some sleep to clear my mind.

I suppose I should let my friends in on the secret. I wonder...

[Italy]
I announced our engagement to my old friends from Slytherin. How has your day been?

[Rodolphus]
In case Father has not sent you an owl yet, Florence and I plan to wed in early November. I obtained permission from Oren Rosier on Saturday to ask her and she accepted my proposal yesterday. If I had known how bloody brilliant this would feel, I would have thrown caution to the winds and pursued her years ago.

[Death Eaters]
Miss Rosier accepted my wedding proposal and we plan to marry. Please keep the first weekend in November open for our glorious event!

[Private to Self]

I am halfway there. I do hope tomorrow evening I can kick back and look at my life in a whole new light. All of my achievements would pale in comparison to this one. Godric I want tomorrow to be a success.


[Italy]

I trust you are still available tomorrow to head to that Irish garden I mentioned Sunday. Would you be ready if I arrived at 11 in the morning?

My elves will be packing a lunch for us. I gave them a list that included your favourites.

A vibrant sunset is a wonderful way to end one’s day.

I have never seen so much sand in my life. Thankfully, the night air is not as repulsive as it was this afternoon.

For someone looking for a new owl, where would the lot of you suggest a bloke shop? Is Eeylops still the best place in England?

Never mind that last statement, I seem to have received a new owl from one of my friends out there. A million thank you's to whomever decided to be such a kind soul.

Would anyone out there be interested in a bit of smoked fish or maybe shellfish from the Western Isles? My travels find me in Castlebay today. The shoreline is absolutely breathtaking.

I think I may take in the match tonight between Pride of Portree and Montrose. It has been nearly two months since I have watched a Quidditch match.
