Private message to Penelope Clearwater

[alt_draco]

Clearwater,

I'd like to be one of the first to extend an unofficial congratulations to you; word was flying around during CCF that you'll be our Head Girl when the term starts. It just goes to show that you and Percy Weasley are a suitable match - or will be, so long as you bring as much honour and good judgement to the position as he did.

Most sincerely,

Draco Malfoy

Just as I'd remind you to make sure that your private conversations are actually private. And it doesn't matter what the conversation was actually about; since it was taken for something so obscene and absurd, then it obviously shouldn't have happened at all.

My Father's been, for the most part, pleased with Weasley's work, which, as I'm sure you know, puts him in the vicinity of information concerning my family. Father's last secretary didn't work out so well because he was careless with this information.

You can see, then, why I have reason to be personally concerned about this whole affair.

Well, I can assure you, Mr Malfoy, that Mr Weasley will never give your father any cause for worry on that account. And nor will I.

It sounds like we're on the same page, then. Good.

Congratulations again.
