That's a bargain made. I can't imagine I'll be wanting to hex you. But then, I did get shouty with Remus more than once or twice, so who knows. I'm a perfect lamb until I'm not.

So to Narcissa, I've just written:

Dear Aunt Narcissa, I want you to know that I am very sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how terrible it must be to lose a child. So, so terrible. And when I read of Mr Malfoy's being sent away--truly, my thoughts are with you. If there is any way Junius or I could be of help, please let me know. With sympathy, Nymphadora.

Does that last bit sound as false to you as it does to me? But it's what one's meant to say, isn't it?

Should we send a hamper, do you think? Actually, no. I can't even think about what would go in it.
