A/N: This happened to be much easier to write than the past few chapters. Enjoy the “familial” connection between the Malfoys. Bonus points for anyone who knows where the reference to the Malfoy estate in Somerset came from. Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for my new beta to get the chapters to me, but I couldn’t wait, so the mistakes are all mine.

Interlude – Line for Line

Dear Father,

I am pleased to tell you that I have made progress with the Headmaster. He and I often chat on the weekends; after all of my school work is finished of course. I have ascertained that he is communicating with many wizards that are largely in Northern Africa. While I have been unable to actually get one of the letters in my hands to read, I can only guess that they have something to do with alchemy. One thing comes to mind when that branch of study comes up, but it is useless to conjecture on my part. Perhaps you or the Dark Lord could ascertain the true reason?

I have another piece of good news for you. I have struck up a friendship, of sorts, with Potter. While I know that that was not part of my assignment, I find it is easier to be on good terms with the Dark Lord's enemy to get into Dumbledore's good graces. In fact, that was the original reason that the Headmaster seemed to take an active interest in my person.

However, the atmosphere with the student body seems to be getting increasingly aggressive towards the great House of Salazar Slytherin. Many of my fellow Housemates have been accosted in the halls, and considering there are perhaps ten students above fourth year here, it concerns me. Many of the younger years have been sent to the Infirmary for broken bones, bleeding wounds, curses and burns. Oddly enough, the Hufflepuffs seem to be the perpetrators of most of the violence, since Gryffindor is led, mostly, by Potter's actions. I have suggested, strongly, the aforementioned students write to their families and ask for a withdrawal from school, but most seem extremely reluctant to do so.

Potter's behaviour, on the other hand, appears to be greatly changed this year. He no longer associates with the blood traitor or Mudblood. In fact, his closest companions are Longbottom, the Weasley female, and Luna Lovegood - all of whom were with him when they confronted you at the Department of Mysteries. He has yet to reveal why he has deviated from his normal actions to me, as I believe he is still suspicious of my reasons, but I am working to change that.

I hope that you are well and things on your end are as successful. Please pass on my love to Mother and ask that she write more. It is sadly boring here without my regular, decent companions for stimulating company, but I am coping as well as to be expected.

Your dutiful son,

Draco

My Son,

Your successes please me greatly and show that you are improving your Malfoy intelligence by leaps and bounds. The Dark Lord rejoiced greatly when I relayed your message to him during a private meeting, and has assured me that things will change very soon.

It was ingenious of you to use Potter to get closer to Dumbledore, although I should have expected no less from a child of mine.

Rest assured that the Dark Lord is willing to have you removed from Hogwarts if your safety is in danger. You have more than proved your usefulness and can only continue to do so where you are, but it would serve no purpose if you spend more time in the Infirmary than with the other students.

And you say that Potter is no longer with the Weasley boy or the Mudblood? Splendid. Now, all you need to do is get him away from the rest of his meddling friends so that we may present him to our Lord. If you require assistance in the situation, please do not hesitate to ask for it.

I do regret the fact that none of your year mates are there for you, but trust that they are doing their own work at both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons in stirring sympathies to our sides with the students. Regretfully, the loss of Igor as Headmaster of Durmstrang was a blow, but really, the coward would have done more harm than good. I can tell you that Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, and Bulstrode have been successful. Zabini, the Greengrasses, Davis, and Parkinson, I have not heard from yet, but I have no doubt that your fiancée is trying her hardest to please our Lord and fulfill his goals, just as you are.

I have passed on your message to your mother, and she will write you as soon as she is able. Unfortunately, she became ill recently, but I assure you that it will pass. I look forward to hearing from you soon, my heir.

Your extremely pleased father,

Lucius Malfoy

Dear Father,

Thank you for the information about my friends. I am sure that Pansy is doing as much as she can where she is. She will not let me down in that regard. Blaise, I do not know, considering there are rumors among the other students that Mrs. Zabini has gone into hiding. I would watch him. I understand that he and his mother have family is both West Africa and the West Indies, and he may disappear along with her. And was it really a question as to Vince and Greg succeeding in Durmstrang? The Dark Lord's presence was strong before they arrived. I would have been surprised if they had failed.

I have another piece of information for you. It seems as if Terry Boot, a seventh year Ravenclaw, is unhappy with the way that Potter has abandoned the rest of our year mates. Almost unreasonably so. Perhaps one should talk to his parents?

I have spent less time under the care of that dreadful dragon, Pomfrey, this year than fifth year, so I cannot complain. The only thing that I regret is that I am missing Severus' potions expertise when receiving care. Slughorn is possibly the most useless instructor we have this year, and that is saying something, considering that Dumbledore’s pet werewolf is back teaching Defense. I have had to resort to making my own Dreamless Sleep and Pain Relieving Potions and Bruise-Be-Gone Salve. Included is a list of ingredients that I require to continue to do so. Would you be so kind as to send them to me?

Slughorn continues to annoy me greatly. He questions me constantly, both in Potions class and about dorm policy. How a man like that is Head of Slytherin, I will never know.

Thank you for updating me about Mother's condition and I am glad that she is recovering nicely.

Let me know if there is anything else that you need addressed and I will take care of it as soon as possible.

Your devoted son,

Draco

My Son,

I have passed along the information about Zabini's wavering to our Lord. It does appear that Mrs. Zabini disappeared about a month ago, and without a trace. I believe the Greengrasses had something to do with that, but cannot confirm it. Your aunt and uncle are going to investigate that fact, so the truth will come out sooner rather than later.

Your aunt Bella has shared some good news with me recently. It seems as if you will have a cousin - a proper, pureblood cousin this time. Also, it appears that you will not only become a cousin, but an older brother as well. I cannot express how I feel about either news fact. However, you will be expected to write letters of congratulations to both your mother and aunt immediately. Remember that Bellatrix has wanted a child ever since we presented you to our Lord and remain respectful. I understand that there is no love lost between yourself and your aunt since her rather harsh way of teaching you Occlumency and Legilimency, but you are a Malfoy and will remember your place.

And Boot, you say? Well, that is a respectable, pureblood family, although they have always attempted to stay neutral. I will pass that along the proper channels as well.

I am glad that you are doing much better with the rest of the students. Dare I hope that Potter is attempting to keep the sheep in line? Of course, you will have realized that I have included the requested items, as well as others. I would suggest you also start casting the standard charms and hexes in the dungeons, as you should have been since you arrived. I will not forgive you for being remiss in doing so, and we shall speak about this in greater detail over the Christmas Holidays.

Continue as you are, and report regularly.

Your very satisfied father,

Lucius Malfoy

Dear Mother,

Father has told me the happy news. Congratulations. I hope to be able to embrace my new brother or sister by the Easter Holidays. Do you know which you are having as of yet? Or is it too soon to tell?

Please promise me that you will take proper care of yourself and write me as soon as possible. If there is anything I can do to assist you, then you must let me know. You know, Mother, you need only ask and I would do everything in my power for you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Avec tout mon amour,

Ton dragon

Dear Aunt Bella,

I hear that congratulations are in order. I look forward to greeting a proper cousin as soon as possible. Your Master must be elated. Take care of yourself so that nothing happens until my cousin is born. Pass my salutations along to Uncle Rudolphus as well.

Sincerely,

Draco Malfoy

Dearest Widdle Drakie,

Your note amuses me greatly. Of course I will pass along your words to Rudolphus. No doubt he will find entertainment in them as well. Remember your place, for I hear that Cissy is in a very delicate state also. Who knows what could happen to a woman in her condition… I recall all too well that she had such problems when she was pregnant with you.

Our Lord is more than happy to have two new additions to his family. But… these things are fragile.

Until next time, my precious nephew,

Auntie Bella <3
