Padma,
Your company is always much more than welcome, though I feel there is likely little that I could do to change the opinions of your family. Im rather used to ignoring the opinions of my own in regards to who is a suitable match, but I rather think my mother would be far more amenable than your own, these days. She wants to see our family regain standing somehow, which depends in a large part on my actions, being of age seems to mean that Im capable to serve as head of my family in my fathers stead. Its a good thing, she has decided, that I did not participate so eagerly as Malfoy, Goyle, or even Blaise, who has now served his six months and is let out to the custody of his mother for another six. Shes not exactly the sort of woman who defines the term good influence, but Im pleased to have him out and about again.
If there is something I could do to help with your parents, besides feign Indian, which I know I am the opposite of, you will let me know?
Ive received an invitation to the Fawcetts solstice party on the 23rd, is two weeks enough time for your mother to be convinced of my reformation, do you think? I would very much like to see you before then - as often as you think best without earning a ban, really - but I dont want to accept if Ill have to go alone. Morag is in Edinburgh, or so she says when I write, so she - and Belby, Ive heard - wont be there either.
Yours,
Theodore
