No, indeed, I'm afraid I'm having difficulty keeping pace with what everyone is writing these days. I can't tell you how busy it's been in here since the weekend. Goodness!
I'm to understand that your brother is insinuating himself into familiarity with young Marvolo? That can hardly be good. I mean to say, I was rather hopeful that you were having an influence on the boy, but your brother... that's quite another story.
You guessed it. Imagine a slightly shorter, slightly less handsome bloke with 90% of my wit, 75% of my brains and about half my magical skills, but all of them used for evil.
And he's training in on the most impressionable students. Marvellous.
And the best part is, I walked right into it. He's going out of his way to banter - not without a little attempt to pump me for informations, mind - and meanwhile, he's filling their heads with his litany of younger siblings' complaints. I should have expected it. What else can he say, publicly?
He didn't have to paint me as black as all that, though.
