Private message to Lucius Malfoy

[alt_selwyn]

Are you and Narcissa going to that performance at Hogwarts? I got an invitation, I rather suppose more as a courtesy than anything else, and I hadn't intended to go but I left it lying out and Arista found it. Her nanny made the mistake of reading it to her and she is now positively DYING to go.

Will it be highly inappropriate for a six-year-old, filled with shocking violence and foul language? I suppose that's too much to hope for.

It's probably fairly short, at least. Your son's in it, isn't he? And your god-daughter? Or is she helping behind the scenes?

Admittedly, seeing Barty played by a school girl might almost make the trip worth it.

He's surely not coming, is he? Barty, I mean. I'm trying to think of an engagement LESS likely to attract his interest and ... well, perhaps if they'd done it as a musical, that would be worse.

Merlin, no! He's far too busy defying Healers to conduct the DogStar interrogations himself. Lucky sod.

But yes, I do recall that as the cast was posted right about the time of his birthday, the lads had a good laugh or two at his expense over the choice. Naturally there are always a larger number of girls who fancy themselves quite the actresses, but the Greengrass girl notably wishes to follow in her grandmother's footsteps, according to Narcissa.

No doubt she'll have Barty fainting away at the sight of Moody.

I have resigned myself that the evening will be a loss, apart from whatever humour one may glean from it. Unintentional humour, of course, but nonetheless, it's the only saving grace of the ordeal.
