Yes. I see that I shouldn't make plans as though my schedule were my own.

But Skye, Marlowe Sands, Ely, Telford, Luton and Basildon--all today? Fortunate that I never feel much like eating after I've Apparated. Once.

At any rate, the first two are done, and I'm in Ely somewhere. Damned if I can find anyone to ask directions from, though. Place looks utterly deserted. Not much reclamation here, I take it.

Were you not pleased with your birthday present, then? I had thought it met all of your specifications. Was it the timing, perhaps? You'd have preferred I wait? I'm afraid I wasn't in control of that. Was it the packaging? Too gaudy? You do realise that I can't do better if I don't know how I've failed.

Right. No time for moaning in this itinerary.

Or, actually, there may be. Still too dizzy to walk.

There's not a train to Telford, is there?

I didn't think so.

What time am I expected tomorrow, cousin?

The match begins at ten o'clock, so we plan to arrive at Hogwarts at twenty before the hour.

If you're recovered from these treks of yours, you might meet us for breakfast, but if you prefer to go straight to the pitch, of course I understand.

I do hope our plans for the auction may go forward uninterrupted. I have grown accustomed to Lucius periodically having to skive off on business, but that makes the necessity no less vexing, when it occurs. No one could argue when important demands of state override personal plans, of course. Well, one must soldier on.

Poor dear.

Remember when I tried convincing you that letting me practise banishing you and summoning you back would be excellent conditioning for learning to Apparate?

Hello.

Are you coming for certain? You're really sure that you'll be there?

Because that would be wizard.

And if you don't want breakfast, you can always have tea after the match. After all, the Hogwarts House Elves put out a very good tea.

And chamomile or ginger tea helps to settle stomachs.

I' ll do my best!

Well, good.
