Remus Lupin

I'm not sure that congratulations is precisely the term, Alice, but I am certain you will do admirably by us all, and thank you for being willing to take it up.

For the rest of you, I realised there's a piece about Aurora I don't know that we've mentioned, and I can't decide what it means.

Did you know - besides Poppy, that is - that she didn't tell anyone about her engagement, excepting her own parents and Narcissa Malfoy (whose advice she needed) between when her Raz asked her and when they got formal permission from his lord and master?

Better than a fortnight between the two and she saw me at Lana Sandoval and Ned Pennifold's wedding in the midst. (Irma guessed something might be up, but I honestly had no idea.) And they kept it from his family and friends, as well.

Anyway. It says something about her ability to keep a confidence with the right incentive, though it's the issue of whether she'd be able to keep it from her Raz that's still the question. Or whether she'd be willing to for us.
