I trust there's nothing to worry about on Lucius's behalf.
Listen, Narcissa. It could be quite a long time before you hear anything. Particularly as Reg seems unwilling to explain himself. I don't know what he thinks he's playing at, sounding the alarm this way and then not answering either of us.
It's mayhem here, but it's not my case that's causing it. I could come sit up with you if you like.
Well, not in the sense you mean, no. I trust not. But you'll forgive me if I worry at any rate. Given that Our Lord has been studying arcane lore, it's possible they've attempted something dangerous and failed.
I quite agree with you that Reg has much to answer for - I only hope his absence means he has sensibly put his journal down to deal with whatever crisis the post signified.
But as to your offer: I appreciate it, I do. But at this hour? Thank you, but it won't be necessary. If you're working this late, it must be important and I would not wish anyone to say I pulled you away on a 'fool's errand' to minister to a wife's fears, which I'm sure will turn out to be unfounded.
I wouldn't call it a 'fool's errand' to set a friend's mind at ease, but I do understand. Do you want me to check the obvious places for Regulus? I did open the Floo and speak with St Mungo's, who assure me he's not been admitted there. We both know there are several other possibilities that I could check if it would make you feel better. Of course, if he's any of those places, he'd as soon I didn't find him and drag him out.
If that's where he is, then I'm sure he's in no condition to be dragged out, nor would he thank you for the favour.
No. Somehow I doubt he's even left Eton. Our Lord has kept him so close of late that I should be very surprised if he'd been given leave to take in the delights to which you refer.
I suppose we shall both simply have to soldier on until one of them can give us word.

Lucius left a little before midnight and said he didn't think I ought to wait up.
Now this.
I think something may have gone wrong with whatever they were about.

I think I shall just finish this last nightcap and perhaps if I can't close my eyes, read a chapter of Bundy. But thank you for offering.
