kreacher?

[alt_narcissa]

Regulus?

Surely Kreacher has been with you? I certainly hope so, as Aunt Walburga had the cheek to contact me only Thursday asking if we might lend her Great-Aunt Cassie's elf, the one you let us take on. I asked her why her own elf wouldn't or couldn't do for her and she said

Well, she said he was otherwise occupied on the Lord Protector's business. That you'd taken him for a time.

Has something happened? Do you need assistance? Are you all right, dear cousin?

[alt_regulus]

Still here, mostly. The elf, too.

Except when he's not.

It's not his fault, though, that he's needed to come and go.

He's here tonight.

Thank Merlin.

[alt_narcissa]

But whatever is the matter? Are you all right?

[alt_regulus]

Digestion's off a bit. And I've this annoyingly wrong taste. Like iron with a faintly sweet tinge.

Ugh. Just mentioning it makes me a bit green.

phoa

[alt_narcissa]

Dear me.

Perhaps you'd best give yourself the night off. Have you a supply of Derwent's Dyspeptic Draught? When Lucius was feeling poorly last year I made him a cauldron of the stuff and it fixed him up quickly enough - once he was able to swallow, that is.

I believe I bottled what he didn't use. I could send it off to you if you like.

[alt_regulus]

If you've an owl available, that wouldn't be amiss, cousin.

thank you

[alt_pansy]

I'd tell you another round of jokes, but I used all the good ones up earlier.

Hm.

What did the one-legged wizard say to his son?
"Never sneeze while Apparating."

See? No good at all.

I hope you feel better soon, Pirate.

Do you know the one about the skrewts who decided to hold their annual holiday party in a fireworks shop? Next day's headline: Blast Ended Skrewts.

We're a pair: neither of us is much in the way of jokes at the moment.

[alt_pansy]

That's a good one.

What did one skrewt at the Fireworks party say to the other once they realised the building was on fire?

Mate, we're skrewt.

How did they secure the coffins at their funeral?

Skrewt 'em right down.

What did the little skrewt baby do at the gravesite?

Skrewt up his face and cried and cried.

Is your stomach better?

[alt_pansy]

As you can see, my jokes aren't.

[alt_regulus]

What's happening? What's the matter?

Pirate?

[alt_pansy]

Please be okay, Regulus.

[alt_regulus]

I owe you an apology. What happened here was unforgivable, and I'm utterly ashamed of myself, having spoken to you like this.

Lucius is right, you know. I'm not good value, as they say. You'd be far better to forget me.

[alt_pansy]

no.

[alt_zacharias]

What the heck is a skrewt?

[alt_pansy]

What is with you lately?

Honestly.

It's really annoying.

And don't you ever listen to Professor Brutka? The forest has been crawling with them for ages.

[alt_zacharias]

What's with me?

Do you ever have conversations that aren't with grown men?

Besides, we don't have Professor Brutka yet, and I was in the back on the forest walk.

[alt_pansy]

Do us all a favour and bugger off, Smith.
