Order Only

I hardly know how to say this.

I've just come from a meeting with the Lord Protector himself. Barty was there, too, and so was the Headmaster, Desai, Glozeman...

He wanted to know the ways in which I was like Rabastan. I said that it was hard to say, as he didn't raise me, but that I was sure many of my talents probably owed themselves to the Lestrange bloodline. Then he asked me what my talents were. I said "All aspects of stage craft, event planning, fostering cooperation and communication amongst others, delegating responsibilities..." things like that, though I don't remember what all I said. It's a bit of a blur now.

Anyway, after that he said: "Let's have this marriage begin in earnest. I'll officiate here, this evening, after supper."

So. It would seem I'm to be married tonight?

Tonight? That's very soon. Will your parents be able to come?

Are you sure about this? I mean, are you sure you want to go through with it.

I am glad to hear your meeting with Voldemort went smoothly, all things considered.

His whims and moods are quite unpredictable, and his increased interest in your affairs must be disconcerting, if not entirely unexpected. But you are a person of unparallelled grace under pressure, my dear, and for that, I am exceedingly grateful. I don't know anyone else who could manage this balancing act as well as you have.

I know this wasn't the wedding you were planning on, Daphne.

The thing I kept in mind, with all the upset with our planning, was that what mattered in the end was the being married, not how we got there.

I gather from the comments I've heard here and there that this is something you very much want. I've seen rather more of the better side of Barty than some, and I wish you all the best, and all the happiness you can have together.

I don't know what you did with my dress robes at Spence, but if there's anything in there that would suit you, or as a base for transfiguration changes, please feel free.

Didn't see that coming.

Best wishes with all of it, Greengrass.

Every thing's alright, yeah?

Gin says you just don't feel like eating much. And maybe don't want Crouch to see you before the ceremony?

Anywiz. Just wanted you to know we noticed you're not at supper yet.


Also. Best wishes, y'know? I hope... good things for you.
