Order Only: Private message to Rachel Weasley

It's a good thing we decided to limit our honeymoon to the weekend. I am sorry I had to turn you down for lunch, but between the word spreading about Fudge's fate, the news about Hopkirk, Bellatrix's rampage, and the bureaucratic wheels turning as a result of the aftermath of the events in Dover, Burrow-in-Furness, etcetera, etcetera, well...I am sure we would have both been dragged back by our heels, no matter what the circumstances. I'm sorry I didn't respond when you owled me about grabbing a lunch together, but I'm absolutely buried in panicky memos--the bloody things are winging about the office and striking any nearby wall like bludgers, too nervous to stay in the in-box. I hope you found a very remote location today that desperately needed an audit. I hate to think of you being anywhere near MLE headquarters right now.

...

Just took a few moments to check over my journal. Well, that's quite a development with Narcissa Malfoy. At least Draco will be able to see his mother now.

Did she have to take an Unbreakable Vow, just to eliminate any temptations to spread any information she's been vouchsafed with a little too far?

I hope the rest of the week is bloody boring. Don't think it will be, though. It feels as though things are starting to bubble up to a crisis point, doesn't it?

I will tear myself away from these memos and reports sometime tonight, I swear it. Do you think you'll be able to break away?
