Padma saw Nathaniel mimicking his father with the letter, and she smiled warmly at father and son. They were going to be a formidable pair of men. Her boys.
She knew Theo would understand the importance of this as a business deal. She was glad he wanted to come along as well. "Well, I thought perhaps we could make it a bit of a getaway? With all these ministerial decrees, and what with the unpleasantness we heard about on Saturday..." She was reluctant to say that Theo's godfather was a little crazy for what they did on the solstice.
"I thought now that Nathaniel is noticing things more, that we take him away for a bit. Get him used to travelling. It's never too early to broaden his horizons." She came around and dropped a kiss on his lips as she said they'd go.
She thought about leaving. "Hmmm, well, I'll owl back today, and then we have Pansy's little tea party tomorrow - I wouldn't want Nathaniel to miss that, so why not Wednesday morning?"
"We can stay in that same hotel we stayed in last year."
