The wards on that flat might as well have opened with Alohomora. Or Pretty Please. Honestly.
The gift for Nott? Exactly as you guess: one of those 'Gordian Ouroboros' pieces that were so stupidly popular last Christmas. (Shame we threw them all away. Now it's clear what they're good for.) The symbolism (surprised Magical Commerce didn't impose a fine for the insult to Our Lord) fits this circumstance perfectly.
Speaking of things ludicrous, this will amuse: Rowle was just here wanting me to join him for lunch to hear a tale sure to amaze me about one of our newest brothers and his outsized, entirely misdirected ambition. Must go meet him to hear his account of the meeting I took with him yesterday: seems my performance was not only convincing but highly entertaining. (At least it amused him. Says Mulciber was far from tickled when R told him the story.)
Expect to enjoy this, but promise I won't let the reviews go to my head.
