To: Mr. Ripper,

How's the new job treating you, deary?
Stealinghearts left and right?.. Or that's just limbs you steal, isn't it, Finny. Nice choice to go after that damn Robards offspring.

Always, Lottie.

quite well, thank you very much, lovely.
and you? i do hope the minister's been nice enough to you. i try my best to keep him on a short leash.

whoever said anything about me stealing anything? connolly got his filthy, useless little limbs returned. through his sister of course, but that's close enough, right?

why thank you, my dear. anyone else that's been bothering you lately? i'm always available for a little one-on-one chat with anyone that's been giving you a hard time.

To: Finny,

I've been splendid, keeping myself....busy..But that's all I'll say on that matter for now deary. He's behaving, and keeping to himself. He does walk around a bit slack-jawed, but, then again wasn't he always?

HA, couldn't stand the stench of that muggle-born trash, stinking up the place? I hope you sent those home in a doggy bag. It's a bit disappointing though, you gave them a bit of hope. I heard his dim-witted sister thought she was actually powerful enough to somehow put him back together. The naive thing.

I know you are, love. For now, though, no one else has been on my back. I'll let you know if anything....comes up, I do love dealing with the worthless sometimes, but I know you've been itching for some fun. Maybe next time we'll share. I might be owling you up in a week or two with some interesting news...But we'll see.

Always, Lots.
