Angelique,

They say that keeping such attire around is bad luck, that it invites misfortune into your home, and while I can see that, sometimes I do wonder if it’s all some sort of ploy to get you to spend money on mourning attire every single time. No matter, once again I’m so sorry to hear about your mother and please feel free to let me know if you need anything, I will try my best to send my brother over to help you. We’ve been, of course, making arrangements for Wisteria since father seems to be rather preoccupied with his work, but your mother is also a big priority for us as well.

I would love to attend tea with you, it would be nice to see you again. I do believe there aren't any Hogsmeade trips for my sister until October anyway, so I’m sure we’ll just have to wait until she comes for the funerals to see her. I’m sorry, once again, for your loss, but I will, of course, join you for tea whenever is most suitable.

Your Loving Sister,
Heather
