Private Message to Lucius Malfoy

Lucius, has there been any movement on the tournament negotiations? I only ask because a little bird told me they were nearing completion. It would be most useful to have as much advance knowledge as possible of the numbers of attendees and the specifics of the courses, assuming of course that all goes well. The castle's magic is not quite as responsive as one might wish; it will take some coaxing to prepare for the sort of spectacle that has been suggested, with such long-term visitors.

ORDER ONLY: Children

We have a situation with regards to infants.

Lucius Malfoy had not asked for the book in ages. I didn't look at it. He asked me to view it after the next Governors' meeting, and I looked at it. There are six new names.

Baby Lee, Hampshire (Not named yet, apparently. Extremely unhelpful. Not even sex indicated.)
Honour Miliband, Kent
Robert Pigott, Lincolnshire
Michelle O'Neill, Devon
Bellatrix Peploe, Essex (One wonders about her parents - I suppose we will find out.)
William Somerville, also Devon.

I have no earthly idea how long they have been there - since last time I checked, some of them, perhaps.

I hid them all. Then I thought better of it: we can hardly save them all by the meeting-time, when Lucius sees the book, and if we fail to save one, they'll know I've falsified the book when the child begins to manifest their powers.

Merlin. A pretty puzzle.
