So. I'm trying to work out any possible benefits there would be to my registering with the Ministry. I'm not particularly fond of the idea, but I had a not inconsiderable savings at Gringotts at the time of my death. I'm not sure whether or not Mother and Father would have absorbed that account into their own vault or not. I've looked into it a bit and I was listed as "missing" (rightly so) for seven years before I was declared officially dead. And though I still can't quite believe it it seems that Father died shortly after I did and Mother died six years afterwards, so I don't think either of them ever closed up my personal accounts. But the goblins refuse to let me check. Irritating, bureaucratic little bastards

Dorcas:
I'm leaving the Cauldron to go and stay with family. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to come to see you once I've gone, though of course I shall try and visit quite often. I'm going fairly soon, but I would like to see you before I go.
