"It's Scotland. Lack of rain is as good as it gets." At least this time of the year. Not that Barty really minded, he wasn't the biggest fan of going outside no matter the weather. Unfortunately his constitution was a little too like his mother's to be eager for any of that, he'd just catch a cold.

"My father is doing brilliantly, from the looks of it." And, yes, he hated that, but there was no need to give that away. "People like his hard but fair approach."

Really, the wizarding community seemed to be so eager for radicalism. Fascism. No wonder the dark Lord was gaining influence. No wonder his father had his own followers too.
