I think Ari would have been all too pleased to come if he were inspecting a prospective bride for Ptolemy.
Misplacing it - ingenious. That's what I ought to have done! (Unfortunately the cabinet Narcissa gave me last year has rather tidily removed that excuse from my repertoire. However, on the whole I should rather be able to find a thing when Hooper has misfiled it than have to remember to occasionally tell him to misfile it. Gryffindors.)
Later drafts may have changed from the one we received, but yes, her death is the note on which the first half closes.
As long as Alecto Carrow's representative is nowhere near Serena when she falls, I'll keep my suspicions about Ptolemy's goals to myself.
