HILDA VECTOR

[blondenarcissa]

A number of days ago you advised me to "give Mrs. Weasley a run for her money in frantically hunting for lost children until he is found and found safe." I admit that initially I was very upset by both the fact that you would ask I look to a Weasley as to how to do something properly but also that you took it upon yourself to tell me how to raise

My beloved,

I cannot fault you as a mother. You have served Draco and myself in the best way possible by being an upstanding member of society and a model for all other women to look to. Hilda does not understand, nor could she ever, the pressures attendant upon carrying the Malfoy name. You are right to call her upon her nerve in trying to tell you how to be a mother. The numbers may enable her to pry into the affairs of others with more accuracy than some, but they cannot tell her what it is like to carry a child, nurture it, and love it.

Draco will come around, I am sure. Have faith, my love. I know that you are of invaluable help to Remus and Sirius as the wedding approaches, especially in light of Remus', ah, infirmity, but know that the Manor is quite empty without you.

Your husband

Lucius,

Thank you, although I am quite sure that Hilda will refuse to see things from our perspective. I shall not be gone for too terribly long tonight, perhaps two or three hours at most. How are your arm and ankle coming along today? When you no longer require medical assistance I shall take my leave once again, I want to remind you. We both have been so focused on making sure you have a full, quick recovery that neither one of us has really had the opportunity to focus on the problems we had before you and Remus decided to play schoolboys and hex the bemerlin out of one another.

Now, now, Narcissa. You know perfectly well that Remus instigated the duel. I could not back down, nor would I.

I am feeling much better. You are better at taking care of others than you realize, my darling. I respect your need for space. Take as much time as you need to. I'm glad the flying lessons are going well. It's quite an exhilirating feeling, isn't it?

I was not there to witness who called the first hex so I shan't take sides either way.

I shall return to the Manor tonight after spending a few hours with Remus. In the morning I shall depart for Dogear Wryde again for an undecided amount of time. We can discuss this when I return from the estate tonight.

As far as flying lessons go, I must confess that I have not exactly felt 'exhilerated' as of yet. The first time I was trying to play close attention to what I was doing and did not have time to really enjoy things. Perhaps tonight shall be different.
