As much as I dislike Bellatrix, as much as her mere presences makes me long to rip the tracking device from my throat and curse her, her words from the meeting keep returning to me. Her offer.

It isn't as though there was ever anything approaching affection between us.

It isn't as though it was required for the things we achieved in the past.

What an exceptional point of confusion. I know that illegal action may be necessary in order to win this campaign. Weasley does not need to prove his innocence, and though I have been pardoned, many still look at me as though I wish to eat their children. Illegal action is a means to an end, and it is the easy path. It ( Read more... )

It's bad, but there have been worse days.

I know that it must be a former Death Eater now. It is they that always took this line of coercion. But even after this long, I still can't make myself numb to it. I think I understand why Father hated Mother now, it was easier than this. Coward.

I'm sorry. 
Have you read it? 
Shit.

I'm sorry your name had to be brought into this.

I've gone to take care of a few things. I will be back by morning.

A better reception than I had expected, ( Read more... )

 Tomorrow, 25th February 2002,  at noon I intend to make a statement regarding the Registry. I shall be at the steps of the Ministry.

Time and time again I read journal entries of those unjustly restricted by our present Ministry.

I hear the justifications of those who believe that young people should be punished for their very existence. My son is registered and tagged by his relation to me. We do not choose our families. I know he is not alone in this situation. I know there ( Read more... )

Another letter. They know where you are staying.

Please, come home keep safe.

Another letter. 
They know where Draco is.
They're still watching, and they know all about our attempts.

What now?

Lucius.

[Private to self]

There have been no more letters, and yet the matter feels unresolved.

I feel, I want...

Draco is staying away from the Manor.

[ Written in a hand a lot more careless than usual ]

Severus,

I haven't slept for four  three days.

I feel like I'm going insane (this is just legible)

Can you ( Read more... )

This is perfectly ridiculous, and it ends now.

Severus, Draco is entirely free to decide whether he wants to be involved with your bonding or not. As is my wife.

Grow up, all of you.
Merlin, I am convinced you are all trying to give me a heart attack.

Lucius Malfoy.
