Keeping in Touch

Dear Phineas,

Nicolas and I were so very pleased to see you and your wife at our New Years Eve ball. It seems like such a long time since I had seen you last. Yes, I am aware that sounds slightly odd coming from me. I do regret that we did not have more time to talk at the ball. How are you fairing these days? The more boisterous students have not been giving you too much trouble I hope? I have heard that some are giving you a bit of trouble about the new rules you recently put in place. I am sure they will get used to them in time however. For now though, I advise you to be prepared for a little rebellion from the teenagers that surround you.



On another note, I was saddened to read of your babe's death in the Daily Prophet. You have my deepest condolences for your loss. I would have written sooner, had I not assumed that you and your wife needed time to yourselves after this troubling matter. How is dear Ursula coping? I do hope that the two of you are alright.



I suppose that is all for now. Give your sisters and your wife my best, and do try to relax once in a while and take some time to enjoy yourself. I am sure your job as Headmaster of one of the most prestigious magical schools in Europe is quite taxing, but you mustn't let all the stress get to you.

Sincerely yours,


Perenelle O. Flamel

To Mrs. Flamel,

I thank you for your kind words, and assure you that my wife and I are doing as well as we can be given the circumstances. Quiet serves me well, although my wife seems to thrive more on getting out and remembering the joys that life has to offer.



I shall be sure to pass your well wishes on to my sister, and to manage my stress.
