lucretia prewett, the honorable mrs.

[Private]

Molly is here.

Glorious words, although I do not like that it means that horrid woman is blackmailing her - doing such to me is well enough, I suppose, but my daughter?

Ms. Skeeter is really becoming quite the nuisance.

[Molly]

We should really plan a family dinner, darling. By my count we both desperately need to meet quite a lot of people - it should also take minds off of more unpleasant matters, I think.

Thus far I have retained the services of Dominique Weasley to model for my first feature - Lucy is being a dear and taking the photographs - as well as a young man I haven't gotten a name from as yet. If there are any others interested, please do make yourselves known.

I did not approve of the rest of that paper. Why was my great-grandson shown in such a state? And what was that nonsense? Really.

I have made a fair copy of the Prewett family tree below - although I do believe 'Weasley' might be more correct - for those who are having trouble keeping names straight. Louis supplied many of the names for me (thank you again, dear).

[a careful, very detailed picture of a tree is included, with the information listed here, starting from the roots up (with Nate and Lucretia at the roots, that is); if the person is in residence their house and occupation (should they have told Lucretia of what it is) is neatly noted down beneath their name; just assume that the middle names aren't there if Lu doesn't know them ♥.]

I do not wish to write down my observations, in case Ms. Skeeter has some way of accessing even those which are private.

I am, however, making them.

I have several matters to attend to. First and foremost, I should ask that I might have a word with all of you who bear the name Weasley or Potter at some point in the future, part or present, as I have every intention on making good my words to young Louis.

Secondly, I should like to ask if there is someone whom produces furniture, or similar things; the decor could use some work.

Thirdly, I should like to meet with the photographer for the paper (or one of them, if there are more) in regards to the column I am set to writing for the next edition.

Fourthly, I shall need volunteers to be in said article, or photographs.

In that vein, I should like to speak to those who produce the clothing here - and I do believe that brings my list to an end.

[Private]

I do not want to share a house with a stranger. I wonder if Ms. Skeeter's policy for secret-sharing upon death extends to whomever she is placing me with?

I prefer my privacy.

I hate not being able to keep an eye on Nate and the children. Molly will keep them in line, I suppose, but this is most vexing.

I suppose introductions are in order. Lucretia Prewett, wife of Ignatius Prewett, mother of Molly, Gideon and Fabien. Should that mean nothing to you, I do not suppose we have met.

I do not suppose anyone has seen any of those four? It is terribly troubling to have one's children away from one, even if one is thirteen and the other two are nine.

Nate is old enough to care for himself, I suppose, but I do prefer to have him near.

Any other family in residence would be welcome as well, although there are far too many to list. I am inclined to believe that someone is here, all things considered - there are simply too many Blacks to believe otherwise, and Nate's family is quite considerable as well, although I do think I might win in that particular instance.

I would, of course, be pleased to make the acquaintance of all others in residence. It seems the sensible thing to do. I should also mention, I suppose, that I am to be living at 16 Quills, and will be responsible for writing the fashion column of the local paper, or so I am led to believe. A charming thing to do, I'm sure.
