Daphne left her shop closed one more day to get her affairs in order. She let the Hit Wizards in England – who were working in conjunction with French authorities – that she was available at any time at the Manor, in case they had news concerning Lynus’ disappearance.

But no matter how certain Daphne was that her bases were covered, that Anne would not betray her, obtaining a lawyer seemed the safest move. She dug through what few records she had concerning the Ministry’s seizure of her family estate, searching for the name that escaped her these many years later.

“Ah!” Daphne said triumphantly while crouched over an old trunk. “Higgs. Terence Higgs.”

She carried the legal form stripping her family of their lands and monies into her personal study, which Draco had given her for use as a studio. But the writing desk was perfectly cleared of dust and debris. Daphne took several minutes, pondering how to word the potentially important letter.

My dearest Mr Higgs,

You many have forgotten me over the last decade or so, but my name is Daphne Greengrass. You once represented my brother, Lynus, and I just after the war as we tried to retain our ancestral home. Unfortunately, the case was lost, but that is not the reason I am writing.

I may have need of your services. I have not forgotten that you once crusaded to protect the rights of people like me, children of Death Eaters. This is why your name was the first to cross my mind during this trying period.

I should like to meet with you as soon as possible; I am available at any time that is convenient for you.

With warm regards,
Daphne Greengrass
