<div style="text-align:justify;width:300px;"> It has come to my attention that you, Sir, have been seen socializing with my ward and youngest sister, Miss Olive Lovegood. I cannot deny that Olive is no longer a child and is of an age to start courting, but I must say that I find it rather rude of you, Sir, to court my sister without consent of her parents or guardian, of which I am the latter. I have also come to understand that my sister was in your establishment, this Montfault Theater, when her life was put in great peril. So, now you are courting her and nearly having her killed – can you understand my concern, Mr. Montfault? I realize we are both busy men, and I detest having tea as a social lubricant, so, I’m bypassing all of that and asking you through post – Mr. Montfault, what are your intentions with Miss Lovegood? I shall await your prompt response.

Dear Mr. Lovegood,

I apologize if it seems I am attempting to go behind your back to court your sister. I had fully intended to beg permission before officially courting Miss Lovegood, but would not dream of doing so before she finishes her education. Even if it were not quite improper of me to assume to interrupt her schooling, she is a Ravenclaw and I am not confident that she would ever chose me over her classwork.
<br/><br/>
As for the incident at my theater, the target seemed to be the Minister rather than de Montfault Theater itself. I was as shocked by what occurred as everyone else, and had I been in your sister's company during the attack I would have done everything in my power to protect her.
<br/><br/>
My intentions towards your sister Olive are nothing but honorable. I wish to get to know her better and, in time if we should prove as compatible as I hope we are, propose marriage sometime after she has completed her schooling. I hope you do not feel I am being too forward, but if you wish honesty I must admit that I do hope to marry Miss Lovegood within two years, for I find her to be delightful in a way that I have not found any woman to be since my beloved wife's death.
<br/><br/>
Again, I apologize if it seemed that I was ignoring your right and responsibility to Miss Olive. I have three children of my own -- two are marrying soon, and the third is betrothed as well -- and would never consciously seek to undermine an older brother's rights and responsibilities when it comes to his charge.

<div style="text-align:justify;width:300px;"> I am a Wizengamot Interrogator , Mr. Montfault. There is no such thing as too much honesty with my breed. I asked your intentions and you gave them. I send my belated condolences upon your wife’s passing and congratulations to you on your children’s matrimonial success. I’m a practical man, Mr. Montfault, and my sister is accustomed to a certain standard of living. Therefore, I ask you, can you provide for her, what with three grown children and all that? I regret to say that I know little about your theatre and, of course, wish you all the success in the world, but please do understand that I must pry. I love my sister and I want to know the man whom she marries will give her a life with petty hardships, such as what color dress to buy and which drapes fit the season’s fashions. As I understand it, we are of the same social standing, and you seem to have genuine feeling for Olive and have her best interests at heart. Very well. I give my leave for you to court her, and, after her schooling – if it please her – I give my blessing for a proposal. Though, I must tell you – the Lovegoods are a unique family, no doubt, but we are close. I would very much appreciate it if you came to dinner now and again, to get to know Olive’s siblings. I dare say you’re in for more than you bargained for, Mr. Montfault. Though, if Olive will be loved and cared for properly, I won’t stand in the way of this romance. We will expect to see you at the next family dinner.

I thank you for both your congratulations and your condolences, and I am glad that you are practical. I assure you, the fact that two of my children will wed this summer only makes me more able to support your sister. The theater is not so much a source of income -- although I do gain revenue from it -- as it is a hobby. I have always been passionate about the arts, something which I share with your sister.
<br/><br/>
I very much appreciate your blessing, and will strive to be worthy of it. As for coming for dinner, simply name the date and I will be there. There is nothing I want from this more than Olive's happiness.
