XLII. THE DIAGONAL TURN OF MORALITY
━━━━━━
"People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air"
"DEAR DAPHNE..."
...How has your summer been? Mine has been rather peculiar, but not entirely unpleasant. I'm currently staying with the Weasleys, and to be honest, I was quite nervous at first, but it turned out to be more agreeable than I expected. Sadly, I can't give you any autographs from your favourite Weasleys are not here — they're busy running their shop in Diagon Alley. Have you heard about it? They've opened up a whole store, and by all accounts, it's quite a success.
So, has your summer changed since, well, you know? And Draco... Have you heard anything from him? I am not asking because I care, so do not go and make that expression, will you? I am simply just asking because out of curiosity, you know? It goes the same with my wonder regarding my father... he is still out there, god knows where... He hasn't really shown himself, and Percy said that he hasn't been very active in the Ministry...
But that's neither here nor there, especially now that the O.W.L.s results have arrived. How did you fare? Mine were quite satisfactory. And I'm sure yours are better.
Do write to me as soon as possible. I miss you.
Warmest regards, Margie
It wasn't exactly a lie, you know? About her summer. It has been a bit peculiar in comparison to her past summers. Though, it's not something she wanted to complain about; this summer was nothing short of relief. Except for the parts in which Hermione and Ginny would moan and complain about how terrible Fleur was, anyway. But if you minus them, Marjorie Evermore found that she had learnt more things in life in just a few weeks than she did in all her life.
For one, Mrs. Weasley was very open in helping her learn to cook. Yes, the Muggle way. Although she had never imagined herself holding a spatula or even dicing up some veggies, Mrs. Weasley was rather patient and taught her every step of the way — well, every step of the way whenever Fleur didn't intervene and offer her own "improvements" to the recipes. Fleur's suggestions, often delivered with a certain air of superiority, usually involved adding a French twist to the dish or using ingredients Marjorie had never even heard of. Despite this, Marjorie found herself appreciating the balance between Mrs. Weasley's down-to-earth practicality and Fleur's sophisticated culinary flair.
One afternoon, while they were in the middle of preparing a shepherd's pie, Fleur drifted into the kitchen, her presence as ethereal and commanding as ever. "Marjorie, mon cheri, you must try using a bit of thyme and rosemary in ze meat," Fleur suggested, her accent rolling over the words like a gentle breeze.
