Post time spent with Persephone.

It's taken a better part of a week to finally form some shape of common ground in getting to adapting back into Ministry civilisation. I apologise that I didn't keep much in touch while I was gone but rest assured, you and your family were on my mind.

It was very nice to see you at the Mixer, but I feel like I should like to see you in person once again. Provided naturally you are not burdened with new recruits and whatnot. I certainly need a breather what with Madame Zephyr's task given to me.

Hopefully I'll have some form of sanity when it's all over. If not, I know your smile will always make the insanity go away. Do keep in touch - even time turners need air.


Gabrielle.

ps. Turning older tomorrow. Rather frightened by that idea.

Gabrielle,

Indeed, one has not forgotten that auspicious day. You never look any older than the day that has just passed.

I am burdened with but one new recruit, a familiar one, who also passes her best wishes. Theta is learning very quickly.

Madame Zephyr's task intrigues me. Perhaps I can draw a little of it out of you over dinner - that is unless you have plans for your birthday that you have yet to impart?

Warmest regards,

Francis

First and foremost, I feel like we're in Slughorn's sixth year Potions class, passing these notes. Anything for a laugh at nostalgia, I suppose?

Send Theta my warmest regards and fond wishes to deal with you. I know a recruit of mine recently proposed to an intern we had. Word is the intern is now torn between my department and yours because of an uncle of hers. Don't you dare make me lose my ability to command a damned good office, Francis.

Or I'll hex your morning tea mug that I got you from Romania.

No, no plans. Go figure. Spend small part of your life with family as well as a few friends on your birthday, then graduate from Hogwarts and never get to do it much again. So, yes, I would love to have dinner with you.

After all, good friends such as you are hard to find and keep.


My fond care,
Gabrielle.

Gabrielle,

Oh my, just not the Slug Club I hope.

Do you mean Delacroix, I'll try and get Theta to have a word, my niece can be very persuasive (don't I know...)

Shall we say mine for dinner at 8? Make your way there any time after 7.
