Private to Lucius, Cissy and My Nephew
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I am away from this silly book and that ridiculous paper for a few weeks and come back to this?
A blood traitor? And DRACO? You must tell me this is not true.
How is it possible that such a thing can even be speculated upon?
Lucius - if you have a discipline issue, you have but to say the word. You know I would be willing to lend my sister's husband my best toys.
[private to Lucius' eyes only]If you are squeemish, you may leave him with me for a short while.
I will not damage his capacity to carry on your lineage.
Unless you want me to. Eliminating this one and starting afresh might be the best way to ensure a properly obedient Heir. I did tell you, all along, that you ought to have a back-up plan. Look at what happened to poor, dear Aunt Walburga's hope for the future.
I would be very merciful. He is my nephew, after all. His pain wounds me.
I appeal to your logic here. Narcissa is far too emotional where the boy is concerned. You have but to say the word. Or not. Auntie Bellatrix might have to take matters into her own hands. We cannot have blood-traitor brats contaminating our line.[/end private to Lucius only]
Cissy - What is going on? Why is your son running amok? Why are you permitting it? Is this your idea of proper behaviour for our hope for the future? I know you are fond of the boy, but he is not a child anymore. You must get him under control, and soon, before the family is ruined.
Draco - dearest Draco - I beg you to tell me it is all lies!
You have been spending far too much time with the halfblood traitor and his filthy beasts. I suppose this is where you became entangled with the blood-traitor slut.
Do not taint yourself by association, Draco. You are a Prince among Wizards. The blood of the Malfoys and the Blacks mingles like rivers of gold in your veins. Do not shame the family.
It is not remotely too late for you to be disowned!
