Rosier,

I should be writing to you now with news of my forthcoming nuptials as I'd planned to propose to Miss Lestrange today. However, I found out a few days ago that Macnair slyly made his own proposal of marriage, although she has not accepted it.

Of course I could not allow Macnair to get away with it and have challenged the bastard to a duel. I'm sure you know now what I'm about to ask, I can think of no one else I would trust to be my second aside from yourself.

Provided you're willing, I must now mention that Macnair specified pistols as the man is clearly inept at combative magic. I have to admit to having rather rudimentary shooting skills which doesn't bode well but if muggles can shoot each other with them it can't be that difficult.

I had hoped to be able to ask you for some of your expertise where dueling is concerned but as I've already mentioned, Macnair is a Neanderthal. I don't suppose you've had a much experience shooting with pistols, have you?

The duel is set for the 30th of this month - at dawn of course.

Charles,

You cannot be serious?

I don't know what I find more absurd: that you of all people would engage in a duel or that Macnair would suggest pistols like a pathetic muggle. I see more and more of his father in him every single day, mores the pity.

But I digress, I will of course be your second in the pursuit of honour. Miss Lestrange seems a good enough reason to shoot a man over and as for my expertise, while they do not lie in the world of muggle shooting devices, they do lie in the world of having the best chance of taking down an enemy. Rest assured that your pistol will be considerably less tampered with than Macnair's (you probably ought to burn this letter) and the idiot will not so much as get out a shot. All you need do is clip his foot and victory will be yours without me needing to arrest either of you.

Rosier,

I shall give you the whole picture when I next see you in person, I'm sure you'll agree that I had little alternative aside from letting the bastard walk all over me and take my self-respect as well as my woman.

I must thank you, I know there's not only a risk to my career but your own. I'm in your debt, simply name the favor and consider it done.
