Do you know I never fancied ships in my youth? I had in my delusions, as a prisoner given to an obsession with numbers, once predicted that the letters I was receiving included secret 'signals' that I would be exiled to Barbados the following fortnight. This sent me into such a passion that I wrote probably some of the most unkind letters to my wife that I had ever penned -- not of course because I loathed sunshine, just the seas and all vessels that floated upon them.

I'm tempted to suggest this one does not count. Perhaps it is the absence of any real water.

Lucius Malfoy, I am making quick work of your file. I expect that we should meet very soon, but until I have committed this information to memory, we shall have to settle for conversation here. Have you any pressing quesetions?

My thanks for contacting me privately, and I will consider what you have said. Please understand that I have the greatest of respect for you and what you are attempting to do. However, I must beg that you have faith in my ability to assess the situation on my own and come to some conclusion regarding how Monsieur Malfoy is to be handled.

I think that you do but I am already concerned that he will attempt to bring all grievances to you.

Rest assured, any grievances brought to me will be communicated or deferred to you. I wish to see my friend become the man I know he

I have only promised him that I will advocate for his magic. With the above, I have been as good as my word.
