alt_nymphadoraAunt, I'm sorry to bother you in what must be a very busy week, but I need to ask your advice. We've been a bit flummoxed by our invitation to the Quidditch Cup, Junius and I.
We were both excited to hear that it's being held in the Protectorate and were very happy to have the tickets, but then we began to think how truly difficult it would be to manage a three-month old in the temporary accommodations there, not to mention the long hours out of doors in whatever weather the match day brings. (Too much sun would be as bad for her as a chilly or rainy day.)
We do realise how important it is that loyal families support this event so that the Protectorate will make a good showing as the host country, but do you think it would be terribly bad form if only one of us were to attend? Or failing that, do you think there's any use in applying to whichever Department is handling the matter (Magical Transportation? Magical Sport? International Relations?) to see if we could change our travel time to the day of the match? I know those departments must all be snowed under with similar requests.
We're at a loss what to do, but I told Junius I was certain you'd have good advice.
