Febs,

I shouldn't have expected anything less in regards to elopement. I've never been ones for large events myself; that is, however, in part due to my career that limits the time I can spend on the social scene. Much of the parties I've attended in the past decade have been Ministry-hosted or Ministry-adjacent at the very least.

As an only child, I've always imagined I would have a number of children myself, although I don't imagine I'd dare put any wife through five or six trials of childbirth. Such a thing seems almost cruel to me.

I must admit: I'm not yet sure what being my wife might entail for any woman, as I've never been in a politically-relevant position. With the crisis we've been dealing with, there hasn't been much time for festivities.

With your answers, I think you would (hypothetically, of course) make a solid candidate for Mrs. Umbridge.

My next question: Where would you choose to make your home within Britain? London? Hogsmeade? Elsewhere?

Affectionately,
