Andromeda wrote to Harry and insisted on a floo call to discuss the matter. She reported to Harry that a long-vacant Black family property on the outskirts of Nice, France, had an unrecognisable magical signature keyed into the wards. Andromeda explained that the property had been gifted to her as a teenager– before she was banished from the family and burned off the family tree– and therefore she was still the owner. She left the property vacant, as she had no desire to flee to France at any point in her life. She was notified of the property’s condition once per year, via owl, by the magical caretaker she hired to look after the grounds in the stead of elves. Andromeda informed Harry that nearly three weeks after Draco was taken into Ministry custody, she received an odd letter from the caretaker, informing her that the wards had been altered, somehow, and it appeared someone had visited the property.
