Mr Lucius Malfoy[22]

[Elvira Crouch]

Dear Mr Malfoy,

My name is Elvira Bates and I'm responding to the advert you placed in the Daily Prophet about the handmaiden's job.

I would love to be considered for one of the part time positions as I currently also work in the Haunt and Goblin pub in Knockturn Alley.

Hopefully I meet the requirements that you set, although you shall have to judge for yourself to see if I'm aesthetically pleasing. In school I was sorted into Slytherin house along with your son, and I passed all of my classes into NEWT level with flying colours.

There is not much else that I can tell you about myself in a letter but if you would like to arrange a meeting so we can discuss the possible job, then please feel free to get in touch.

I eagerly await your response.

~ Elvira

Dear Miss Bates,

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe we have already met in the Silver Serpent. I invite you to the Manor for an interview, where you will be expected to answer uncomfortable and intrusive questions, and carry out various demeaning but enjoyable tasks - just to test your resolve and prove your worth as an honourable maiden.

Please arrive at the Manor (address attached) at any time that suits you (and dressed to impress) and knock on the front door. If I am not around at the time, my house elf or my lovely wife will let you in, and you may choose to remain at the Manor until I am available to conduct your interview.

Regards,
L. Malfoy
