Private message to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

Father - I want to thank you (and the other governors) for making last night such a brilliant and memorable event. Tintagel was epic and Pansy was thrilled. Everyone's still talking about it and not liable to stop anytime soon. I said my thanks to Mr Tenebridge last night but I've got a little something to send him for Christmas, as well.

Mother - You looked beautiful as always, and were as gracious as ever.

I'm going to miss the Manor this Christmas. It sounds like the party will really be something else, and of course spending time with you both is what I really look forward to. I've not stayed behind for hols since year two, when I threw that tantrum because you made me stay at the castle to keep from catching the plague. Ha, what a brat. Don't worry, I know now that you were only doing it out of concern.

Firechat on Christmas?

Hope the party goes spectacularly.

Love,
Draco

We've a brief respite in the lull between afternoon and evening guests.

As your mother said, we're both quite struck by the man you are becoming, and quickly at that. It has been our great privilege to encourage you in a number of directions as you determine how you'll contribute as a fully-fledged wizard in your own right. I look forward to growing to know you as one man to another, as well as father to son.

(Don't mind your mother overmuch, either! You'll recall she enjoys teasing you about anything masculine. Trying to gauge just how much you've grown, no doubt!)

Oh I don't kno I look forward to that too, Father.

Yes, I can tell that she's enjoying herself. Since it's Christmas I suppose I'll indulge it.
