Chapter 450 - Formal Request Ⅱ (2/2)
”And one more thing, brother.”
”What?”
”The children do not have Godparents.”
”And?”
”Well, what if we tied another family to us via that way?”
”Who?”
”Dorea Potter and Fleamont Potter?”
Reginald almost chokes at the last suggestion as he narrows his eyes most pointedly at his younger sister, who is innocently batting her eyes up at him. ”Dorea, I can understand as she is a former Black, but why Fleamont?”
”Severus wishes to become a Potion Master,” Georgine truthfully answered. ”Fleamont Potter is an excellent potioneer, who made his own fortune in creating potions. Untraditional, yes, but as a godfather, he will be in an excellent position to privately tutor, Severus, and offer's superb connections which neither you nor I possess within the potioneer's community.”
”Yes, but what of Rowan?” Reginald grumbled still not fully convinced by the argument, and frankly did not want too.
”Even if Fleamont cannot offer Rowan any education, he can certainly offer her connections to Potion Guilds and other guilds not including the direct suppliers of Apothecaries,” Georgine matter-of-factly stated. ”And she will be needing all of those things in her chosen mastery.”
After a long pause, Reginald reluctantly says, ”Very well, I will agree. However, I will not be physically requesting their being godparents, you will take care of that, dear sister! But I will write an official letter of request, which will bear my personal seal.”
”Agreed,” Georgine said, before rising to her feet. ”And brother, I will expect to be permitted full allowances when it comes to the planning of the Winter Ball.”
”Yes,” Reginald replied as if his teeth were being pulled. He knew for a fact that his sister had an extravagant taste. And she would certainly use every single galleon that was offered to her.
With a cheerful smile, Georgine departs out of her brother's study with a skip in her steps. ”Dawn,” she called out.
With a loud pop, Dawn appears and says, ”Yes, Miss Georgine?”
”Please inform Dorea Potter that I shall stop by for tea within the hour,” Georgine said. ”I have joyous news to share with her!”
”Yes, Miss Georgine!” Dawn squeaked, before popping away and leaving Georgine to make her way to her quarters. Her brain was simply filled with ideas! And despite the tedious horror it would be planning all of it, it would be most wonderful if it served to rile her brother up!
That and the bulk of the party planning would be handed over to the Verninac's. She had not believed she would be able to convince her brother, but in the end, he had agreed to her proposal. Now, she merely needs to write three letter's and wait for their response. It was the perfect solution, but first she must get dressed!
