Sir,
I did not escape, and indeed I am less than popular with the Aurors, though I think more on my own merits than those of my parents or Draco. I'm much better than I was - Perry brought me some healing potions and the bruising is going down.
Thank you for the offer of assistance but I believe I'm on the mend.

'Perry'? As in Peregrine Derrick? I see. Well, then, I am at least confident the potions were properly brewed, since I know his source.
Words cannot adequately express my frustrated outrage at this situation. The Dark Lord, himself, did not randomly abuse his followers for no reason. Much. That 'officers of the peace' should behave so barbarically, toward women, especially, offends whatever exists of my sensibilities.
If you need a solicitor, I know of a very able one. Then again, you probably have better contacts in that regard than anything I might recommend.

Revolting flavour is not my trademark, child. Efficacy is. I assure you, were you to drink the fruit-flavoured swill available in any apothecary, your recovery would take far longer - and your ailment be exacerbated by the rubbish used to sweeten the brew which spoils the potion.
Correct, on both counts.
Such things are always better left away from tangible medium. I must admit my curiosity to be piqued. I advise my usual caution, and remind you of earlier offers of assistance conversations.

It has been my experience that the two go hand in hand. I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have the fruit concoctions and an extra few days of being petted and made much of.
So rare for me to hear anything like that from you, sir.
Indeed. I will be sure to let you know then, sir, if anything comes of these inclinations. I have to admit my first inclinations border upon extreme childishness but they have the appeal of immediate gratification.

Milking a misfortune for attention, Miss Parkinson? You have spent far too much time with Draco.
I acknowledge accuracy when I see it.
That, too, is a sentiment I can understand. Recently, I expressed a similar inclination to an acquaintance - that I sometimes envied the immediate gratification of brute force - a method which I, myself, have always lacked. There are times when it would be very satisfying to imagine the crunch of bone and cartilage, and the immediate blossoming of blood, which might result from a well placed fist connecting with an arrogant nose.
Thankfully, I have come to a place in life where I have learnt to enjoy the process as much as the result. I find the adage, 'Revenge is a dish best served cold' to be very apt.

Of course, from the Minister's point of view, we are the enemy. And the Dark Lord spared no effort there.
I have been thinking perhaps of reacting in less ... legal ways. But perhaps it'd be better left unsaid.
