...in the midst of this nothing, this mess of a life, still there's this one thing, to see you go by--it's almost like loving, sad as that is, may not be cool, but it's so where I live; it's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost... )

Strongly warded, with blood, and sealed with his seal; illegible to anyone not at least one-half Malfoy even after the normal wards are removed; instructions for making a matrix-lock are enclosed. In reply to her owl:

Ari ma chère,

You’re right; you are being a bitch, and I’m proud of you for it. )

...I'd give the world to stay just as we are; it's better by far not to be too wise, not to realise... )

Owl from Michel Rosenthal to Liane Malfoy, dated 15 Sept 1942... [05.09.08|20:45]

Warded so that only Liane can read it:

Dear Liane,

I was very pleased to receive a copy of your thesis today. I just have a few notes:

I see you're using the Liebs transform for step 3 on page 7. Liebs and Jackson have since proven that this is a specific case of the general Estrada equation; by using that you can remove several steps from your proof as well as making it more elegant. Your conclusion still stands, and nobody would fault you for doing it the way you did; it's still the more commonly used approach.

In diagram 2, how are you allowing for the dampening effects? Or do you assume a steady influx of power?

I notice you discarded the alternate solutions on page 5. I think I know why you did that, though the implecations wouldn't be obvious to most people. I will be going to Hogwarts on Thursday; I'd like to discuss this with you in person.

Michel Rosenthal

PS, the head of my department just reminded me that she needs your natal data, and that you don't need to take Professor Scalara's class. It's only for aprentices and you don't need that.

Owl from Joachim Piccard to Eliot Gardiner, dated 15 September 1942... [05.09.08|20:51]

Strongly and securely warded and sealed:

Dear Mr Gardiner,

Please forgive the lateness of this missive. I have engaged a private room at Kulkarni's Curry House for 12 noon, two hours from now; unfortunately, I seem to have suffered a slight backlash effect from last night's exertions and have only recently risen from bed.

I have however made extensive notes on what we did last night and am interested in discussing them with you further in privacy. Viresh will be present, of course, but I have told no-one else about our adventures last night.

Sincerely yours,
R. Trevelyan

PS: I don't know what Zitek told you about us, but it almost certainly isn't true. I did travel in Europe under the name of Piccard, but that is the extent of what he knows about me, and any law enforcement agency between here and Istanbul will undoubtedly tell you that he and his partners are grifters, thieves and worse. Don't trust them.

Owl from Philip Redferne and Eliot Gardiner to Dux Kyteler, 15 Sept 1942... [05.09.08|21:05]

[Mood |busy]

Warded so that only the recipient can read it:

Sir:

We have confirmed that what we saw last night was an application of Dr Tesla's Teleforce device. We are conducting further research and will have a complete report for you as soon as possible. Eliot will be meeting with Mr Trevelyan (who apparently also goes by the name of Piccard) later today to find out more about what he knows.

Sincerely, Philip Redferne and Eliot Gardiner

Owl from Dion Fortune to Dracaena Malfoy, dated 15 September 1942 [05.09.08|21:17]

[Mood |irate]

Securely warded and sealed with her seal:

My dear Lady Malfoy,

I feel I would be unforgivably remiss in my duties if I did not remind you that it is the duty of the sacred royalty to take upon themselves the risks and burdens of the people whom they serve.

I understand that you feel the situation at Hogwarts is dangerous. But as long as all the children of Britannia are gathered there, you must surely realise that I cannot permit you to keep your own, especially your son and heir, who must take the place of the king you can no longer be, at home behind the mists.

Send Lucius, his sister, and his cousin back to school by noon tomorrow. I need not remind you what I have said to Secretary Zabini about the consequences of continuing scandal attached to your names; you must also realise that it is not I who will take from you the power of regina sacrorum if you continue to protect only your own children from the risks this country's youth must all face.

Yours in the Inner Light,
Dion Fortune
Minister of Magick
