Private message to Alexandra, Philip, and Victoriana Greengrass
Dear Mother, Father, and Grandmother,
I'm sure that Astoria and Queenie have already written to you with the news, so I'll simply confirm that it's true: Our Lord wishes to marry Barty and me tonight, before the whole of the school. As to why here, and why now, I can only say that it may have something to do with Our Lord's sentimental feelings toward Hogwarts, along with the fact that I'm Head Girl and Barty was, in his day, Head Boy. In any case, I'm hardly one to put scrutiny to Our Lord's motives, and can only admit that I'm happy he supports and approves our union.
I do deeply regret, however, that it appears you will be unable to attend, given the impromptu nature of things. I promise that there will be a proper celebration with family and friends later, at Cottesmore. There's nothing I would like more than to have you by my side today, but know that you'll be here in my heart, in spirit, and in all ways that really, truly matter.
Father, Grandmother, I know this may not be the life that you envisioned for me at this age, but I assure you that my path is more meaningful and ambitious than you realise! Someday, I hope the full picture of that becomes clear.
Oh, I'm sorry to keep this so short, but I really must go - I still haven't decided on what to do with my hair! What do you think, up or down?
Always your-
Daphne
