To: Minister Potter

[Felicity Riley]

November 1st

Cousin Darcy,

I do hope life has been kind both to yourself and Mrs. Potter; I have made a note to invite her to tea at some point in the future, so you may perhaps suggest she look for my owl. I write, however, to ask a favourùgiven your place in our world, I cannot think of a better man for the job.

Frederick, as you know, has been working as a referee since graduating, though many of usùhis elder, mature siblingsùhave thought this not the right path for him. Or suspicions seem to have been confirmed: after their latest match, one of the Cannons' chasers, quite displeased by one of his rulings, took it upon themselves to assault him! You must understand that I cannot bear to see my brother in such danger.

He would never ask for himself as his dignity would not allow it, so I as his fragile, feminine sister ask on his behalf: is there anything you might do to find him a place elsewhere in the Ministry?

I await your owl,

Felicity Riley

Cousin Felicity,

I know too well what dangers younger siblings might place upon themselves when left to their own devices. We seem to have quite a deficiency in the Improper Use of Magic Office; I should be quite happy to see Cousin Frederick there. The pay will certainly be more than he is receiving at present, and the work, if not wholly less dangerous, far more fitting for someone of his societal status. I shall push the internal paperwork through myself, and it should not take more than a fortnight for the transfer to see itself sorted.

Cousin Darcy,

I thank you quite sincerely for your efforts in this area. I shall get to work on my brotherùany discomfort he feels in having things arranged for him will be addressed by me, as I would hate to prompt any difficulties in the workplace for him, for you, or for his superiors.

A happy day to you,

Felicity Riley
