I wish to thank all who attended our wedding yesterday. We were grateful for the support of our dear friends on our day. I am sorry to have missed the festivities at Hogsmeade yesterday, but it truly is for the best.

Tacita and I will be in Greece for the next few weeks. I'll have my journal and will be available by owl should the need arise, though I must ask that the need only arise if absolutely necessary. It is, after all, our honeymoon.

During my time in Greece, Malfoy will be standing in for me. Anything you need you'll go to him, and anything he needs you will do. He knows how to contact me but unless absolutely necessary, he will not.

Still, we've got a bit of travel time and I should like to read your accounts of yesterday's events while we wait. Report here.

The Wizengamot was called today to discuss the issue of Unforgivables. We've been asked to consider their use by Aurors and Hitwizards to fight vigilantes and Death Eaters.

Please advise.

Gentlemen, our services have been called upon. We'll let the Aurors and Hitwizards wear themselves out trying to figure out which Muggles will be targeted next but, for now, we are moving on.

He has asked us to research several shops in Hogsmeade to determine the sensibilities of their owners and managers. We will also be testing to find security procedures and wardings for each of these shops. Those shops which align where they should will be spared. Those whose political beliefs lie on the wrong side of the line will, at a later time, be punished.

Remember that this is simply a research opportunity. We will not act or attack on our discoveries at this time. Above all we must remain discreet. We cannot give any shop owners--even those with purist sensibilities--a sense about what we truly intend. Brashness or forwardness are highly discouraged.

Under our charge are the following shops: Dervish & Banges, Dominic Maestro's, Madam Puddifoot's, Scrivenshaft's, Wiseacre's, Zonko's, Dogweed and Deathcap, The Magic Neep, and House of Stylings. I will be doing some reconnaissance at Dominic Maestro's over the weekend; beyond that, each location will need to be looked into. Please report all findings back to me as soon as possible.

My dear, I will be spending a good deal of time in Hogsmeade this weekend and I was wondering if you would like to accompany me on Saturday. Among other places, I'll be heading to Dominic Maestro's to assure that the music selection for our wedding is just right. I do hope you'll be able to join me.

Given the week's events, I should like to hear from each of you what precisely you've been up to in His service in the last few days. Call me curious.

Benedict, my old friend. I would be honoured if you would stand up in my and Tacita's wedding on October 31st.

Antonin. Tacita and I would be honoured if you would stand up in our wedding at the end of October.

We have work for you. Your utmost discretion is required.

Tacita and I would like to invite you and your family to a dinner party to celebrate Elliot's success. We are considering this Friday--would that be an acceptable day for you?

I should like to host the Averys some night soon to celebrate Elliot's new position in the Ministry. How do you feel about playing hostess to a dinner party some night this week?
