Thank you for sending word about my nephew. I realize he has been a thorn in our side for far too long but still, he is my brother's son, and I take his well-being seriously. As you well know, my only son died when he was eleven which leaves James the last of our line. If you are able to successfully rehabilitate him I would consider it a personal favor.
I am not asking that you turn him in to one of our Dark Lord's most devoted servants. Only that you rid his head of this equality nonsense and render him harmless to move against us. Then perhaps he will see reason and divorce that mudblood wife of his and marry someone suitable. If you could produce a miracle of that proportion I would stop at nothing to see you moved up the ranks.
