Order Only Private Message to Miss Lestrange
I suppose congratulations are not the appropriate sentiment, given the reality of the situation, but as I cannot think of a more suitable method of honouring the work you have done, they will need do. I had not thought the Dark Lord would accept you so young, but your showing has been strong enough it is clear He would be a fool to delay your initiation.
I do hope your mother does not prove too insufferable.
You are not in need of the same instruction as I have been providing Draco, and you have clearly developed a number of mechanisms throughout the years for maintaining your inner landscape in the face of extreme provocation, but should the strain of your rôle become too much for you, I will offer the same bargain I offered him: a listening ear and inviolable secrecy should you need to unburden yourself, an additional mind in organising your plots to the goal of making them as airtight as possible, an extra wand wherever it might do good, and any other assistance I might provide, in any way.
I will not press that assistance upon you, but it will always be there for the taking. I regret I will no longer be at Hogwarts to offer that assistance more regularly, but you have but to say the word.
