Draco C. Malfoy

Hey, I had originally planned to track you down and tell you this in person, but with everything that happened last night it's been pretty impossible. I'm writing this on the way to lunch, so it might be a little messy, sorry.

Yesterday when you lot were all at Hogsmeade, Harry and I went and had a visit with Professor Lestrange in his quarters. We had tea and talked about quidditch and things - that bit isn't really important, though. What's important is that eventually, he got around to talking about his own school days and was showing us pictures of all his mates when he was at Hogwarts, who almost all came together later and started fighting for the Lord Protector's cause. That Snape was in some of the pictures, and the Raz said that he was sort of an outcast at first, because he wasn't pur was sort of peculiar and an embarrassment, but then he really shocked everyone later by turning out a genius at Potions and the Dark Arts. And then the other bloke who was in loads of pictures was Evan Rosier. Mr Rosier's son. He and the Raz were best mates, did you know? I think talking about what happened to Evan made him sad and distracted, and he ended up telling us more than he probably would have normally done.

So get this: Aurors killed Evan, back when both the MLE and the Aurors were all corrupt. And not just any Aurors, but Longbottoms parents. Them and some other one, named Moody.

I just wish there was a way to let everyone know the truth. Then maybe the next time people run across that plodding idiot, they'll think about what his parents have done, and think about how everyone dismissed Snape before it was too late, too.

Lots of people lost friends and family to the MLE during the War. I wonder if any of them know that it might've been Longbottom's parents who did it?

I'm telling you because Mr Rosier's your guardian now, and I know you respect him and I think that you deserve to know. You probably shouldn't tell too many people, though - only the people you trust the very most.

You're on notice. I saw your little act at the train station, and so did Blaise, Teddy, and Bode.

You offend him and you offend me, got that? You've done a bang-up job hiding your true colours until now, but I saw them come out today when you thought no one but your mates were around. I bet you all had a good laugh together later, didn't you? Laughing not just at a Professor, but at a Hero of the Protectorate, no less. Milli was right, you really are a blood traitor.

Better do a better job of watching your step, if you know what I mean.
