Mr. Keene,

I worry that I have been too hasty in inviting

Mr. Keene,

I write in need of your counsel, though I worry I ought to have sought it sooner. I do not know if you read the Daily Prophet as regularly as I—Lord knows you’re a busy man!—but from it I learned recently that my sister-in-law, Charlotte Potter, is indeed alive, or close enough to the mark.

I sent an owl to her yesterday inviting her to have a relationship with the children. I thought it only right—she is, after all, their aunt by blood, which in fact makes her more connected to Jameson and Elspeth than I might ever hope to be. Blood, though, is the very issue that now gives me pause. I do not think that I have ever been a judgmental woman, but the matter of her vampirism has weighed heavily upon me since the owl left its perch.

You know by now that I value your opinion as much as I do any amount of coin. Please—what should I do?

Yours,

O. Potter

Mrs. Potter,

I fear I am both woefully behind on the news as of late; had I heard sooner of your sister-in-law's reappearance, I would have written to make sure you were alright. I also admit that perhaps, I am not always one to give proper advice, but I shall indeed do my best for you.

I believe your heart is in the right place and that you were being incredibly considerate of a possible relationship between the children and their aunt. Vampirism, as far as I am aware, does not always completely change the person so much as their methods of survival. Clearly she has been handling this for a while and should she want to have any sort of contact with your niece and nephew she will know what it takes to see that through- and if she is capable of doing so.

In reaching out to her you have left the decision up to her and hopefully she will consider carefully. Should she accept and wish to see the children and you still feel uncomfortable about the meeting, I shall make it my priority to be available as an extra measure of caution.

I do hope some of this puts your mind at ease.

Most Sincerely,
Baxter

Mr. Keene,

I received her reply today. I confess that I had almost hoped she would decline my offer, but while she understands the delicacy of the situation, she seems eager to meet the children. With this in mind, I would not even begin to consider rescinding it, so it is reassuring to me that you do not think I have erred in reaching out.

I shall, of course, keep you up to date on what transpires.

Yours,

O. Potter

Mrs. Potter,

I think you made the right decision, she is their family after all; she must be looking forward to having some semblance of that in place. I do hope it doesn't cause you too much worry however. I think with the right precautions all will be well.

Best of luck, keep me in the loop.

Most Sincerely,
Baxter
