Owls

[alt_hydra]

Aunt Narcissa, your owl came at breakfast. I didn't even finish my toast, I just went straight back to the dormitory to look and thank you... they - it's just so perfect. Thank you so much!


Well, guess what I walked in on in the common room, on my way back out? It was Gregory Goyle and he was asking Millie to go to the ball with him. I think that's what he was asking, at least. His mouth was full of bacon so it was hard to tell. But Millie was smiling, so there must have been something big going on.

What an exciting start to the day. And it's a day that's in the middle of the week, so the rest of the week is sure to just fly by now, and soon we'll all get to go to Hogsmeade.

Families who practise purity breeding often end up with squibs, just like my great-grandparents did. Introduce a new pureblood line and the problem solves itself. But you knew that already, wife.

Oh yes, and the Jugsons have been counting their fortunes ever since.

I still wonder if that little tangle back in the Lestrange line is why Hydra showed her magic so late, you know.

Eighteen months is hardly late.

Really? Perhaps not by your standards. I showed my magic within a matter of weeks, and so did Rigel.
