Finishing School
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Mathias Pride, second born son of Thaddeus Athanatos. As a pureblood and potential heir to the Athanatos empire, please know that my resources are vast. While my family maintains an inclusive ideology, we understand our station and the rigors of pure blooded life better than most. I have recently proposed marriage to a young woman of primarily muggle rearing. The transition to both the magical world as well as pure blooded society has proved physically and psychologically taxing for Miss Winnifred Harper. Due to the divisive nature of wizarding society and the elitist ideology my family combats, my fiancée has been a topic of criticism in the daily Prophet and she has been a target of various interest groups that seek to maintain a stagnant world.
It is for this reason I am seeking the expertise of a qualified individual to instruct my fiancée in the decorum and expectations befitting a lady of distinguished pure-blood society. While she is not pure blooded by birth, it is our belief that people are not born simply better than others, just given the opportunity. However, as you can appreciate, this is a matter of considerable importance and requires the utmost discretion.
The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications:
This is not merely an academic pursuit. The successful candidate will play a critical role in ensuring Miss Harper is prepared for the responsibilities and visibility that will accompany her forthcoming position as my devoted wife. Instruction must be tailored to Miss Harper's unique muggle background that is admittedly heavy on livestock and manual labor. Due to concerns for Miss Harper's mental health, all instructions must be delivered with patience, precision, and care.
Please note that absolute confidentiality in this matter is paramount. Miss Harper is a half-blood, with a single pure blooded parent and was reared in the muggle world. Her lack of exposure has made her vulnerable to media attention and the ill-intentions of purists as well as those that simply believe that she would be best left to her 'own kind.' Several threats have been made since the engagement announcement and I have been a victim of theft and harassment the weeks since our engagement and my fiancée was assaulted the evening of my proposal. Exposure of critical or confidential information could place Miss Harper at risk. I care for her safety and oppose those that prove to be a threat to her. Therefore, any breach of discretion will result in immediate termination of the arrangement and appropriate repercussions.
In the likely event of pregnancy, I am requesting the ability to provide my fiancée with training during the postpartum period at my family estate. Room and meals would be of course provided the duration of your stay. However, we do not normally allow visitors, so we ask that correspondance with family be left to a minimum until Miss Harper's training is complete.
If you are confident in your ability to meet these requirements, I invite you to contact me directly with references and a proposal for your services. All questions and concerns can be directed through our family lawyer. The candidate selected will be well-compensated for their expertise and dedication on a weekly basis. It is my goal that a curriculum could be accomplished within the next six months so that she would be fully prepared for our wedding day.
