~It takes a good while for the words to form, but Druella manages to write her first Owl, which is addressed to her youngest daughter and her son-in-law. She remembers how fondly Cygnus would talk about Narcissa and she bites back tears. Druella reads over the letter, it isn't a masterpiece, but how else can she write it? ~
Dearest Narcissa and Lucius,
I'm afraid this Owl comes bearing the gravest news I have ever had to give to you. I only wish I could break this to you in person, but they won't let me leave this damn room.
Your Father.
I arrived in Greece this afternoon to visit your Father and
Daddy had another heart attack. I'm afraid he didn't make it.
But the Healers have ensured me it was painless.
He and I are in St Mungo's...
Come if you can. I know I could do with seeing you.
I'm really sorry to have to tell you in this way, Cissy.
My Love,
Mama.
