From Arte de Buscar Marida [50. old]
Elaine Stone writhing hands, walking nervously from the mirror of his room to read, and vice versa, without being able to stop. He had just received the visit of his son John and daughter, who had announced the imminent arrival of another (or another) Macmillan. Elaine had rejoiced at the news: The couple's eldest son, Reginald, enjoyed excellent health, and a brother or sister could not but be welcome. The sorrow of
Elaine was his daughter, Sarah. Once, to marry a woman of the ancient House of Stone, the men lined up outside the door, his sister was married to a Malfoy, and Elaine same could be happy with their wedding in Macmillan. But now a curse seemed to have affected the family: His uncle, already magically weak, had raised only Squib. Even his brother had no children only magic. The only son of his cousin had been a Muggle in all respects. The magic seemed to be over, for Stone. Here is why Elaine was having big problems to find a husband to his daughter, who was no longer even in the prime of life.
The girl's bad luck began with the death of her fiancé and his brother, cousins of his cousin, belonged to an ancient family and be able to get a marriage with one of them would be a panacea for the reputation of Stone . Meanwhile, his cousin Eugenius Malfoy, any other candidate, had married a Nott, already pregnant. The other son of Malfoy, Julius, had made an unspecified fine, but the fate of the second son of that family there was never to ask questions. And by the way, the brother of her cousin Diane Malfoy, Crabbe Michael, who had fled with a Cradlemass, was found dead with his new bride that morning, the headline in the Daily Prophet as resting on the bedside table. I wonder if they had reached before the Malfoy or Cradlemass. Judging by the turn events were taking, probably Malfoy.
Looking on the other side of the family, the brother of John was already married, and with none other than a Snape. There was no competition, the family had become so powerful that it is the ambition of all. The young cousin William Longbottom was almost father and whatever he said Aunt Morrigan, Elaine of Bloodstone not even want to hear (not to mention that they used to arrange marriages between close relatives, were also true that the Macmillan, but it was not ever so close relatives and the girl if he could not refuse ... then be put to death, at least). Elaine
This left short of candidates. He sighed and sat on the bed, while once again fell on the Prophet's eye open, she saw the obituary of a certain Marjoram Potter, from the picture, the woman must have been about the age of Sarah.
...
Potter. What do you know them? Aunt Diana had married a Potter. This would make them close relatives but not too much. Parents with young children, perhaps, in need of care of a sweet and loving woman.
Elaine quickly grabbed pen and ink, and proceeded to write to her Aunt Diana.
