11:17 pm - Overheard at Malfoy Manor
|
|
Tiffles? Tiffles, please stop snivelling in the corner and pay attention. I do not wish you to iron your hands, I would much prefer that you listen and learn for the future: the bronze medallion in the display case is not to be polished. The patina of Great-Grandfather's commemorative award is to be preserved just as it is. It's a matter of taste, not merely in antiquities but in obscuring the misspellings that were cast into the dreadful thing. You understand, Tiffles? Very good. Now stop crying and go buff the carpeting in the library.

8:56 pm - Overheard in Lucius Malfoy's manor home
|
Tiffles! Where on earth has that elf got to. Forcing me to shout in my own household like some termagant--there you are, you wretched thing. Fetch me the contents of the iron-banded casket in my study. Yes, of course you'll need the key, I have it here.
*muttered* Wanting to paw at an old token like some mawkish consumptive; I must be feeling particularly maudlin tonight. *louder* Yes, the entire contents; if you remove it from the envelope it's in it will likely fall apart, and then you'll be required to gather every lost hair, you good-for-nothing. Bring the entire envelope.

7:49 pm - Note left for Narcissa Malfoy
|
Narcissa:
I was thinking of absenting myself for dinner. The weather is fine, and there appear to be a few establishments in the vicinity that might have passable wine lists, so I thought it might be pleasant to investigate a quiet evening meal at one. While the family dinners these past evenings have been, admittedly, entertaining noise in contrast to what I've become used to, perhaps one evening meal in quieter surroundings would be welcome tonight. Not that Scorpius isn't a promising child, but, you know me, my instincts when I hear a crying infant in the other room are not to get up and attend to said child's needs, but rather to extract all eleven inches of maple from my walking stick and cast Silencio until the meal is done. Not that you or anyone else would let me get away with that.
Would you care to join me?

3:01 pm - International Floo Call: Severus Snape
|
Severus? Severus, I was packing to come home and some freak keeps sending letters here, addressed to my father and pretending he's me. Severus, it's unnerving. I may not bother to pack everything. --I don't even like everything I packed. Is some of this yours?
Are you there?

1:41 pm - Return to sender Owl Post
|
Note attached to the Owl Post originating from the Ministry of Magic and addressed to Lucius Malfoy, returned (opened) to sender:
Who the hell is this? It isn't remotely funny. I have no idea why this came to my door instead of my father's--apparently this owl's showing some sense. But fuck off and stop it.

11:46 am - OWL POST: Severus Snape
|
Severus, my dear. Why aren't you here? It's lonely. Surely you can tell me why I'm all alone in Morocco and the bed's huge yet doesn't smell of you.
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here. Likely I told you I needed time to myself and you indulged me. You always indulge me, don't you.
It wouldn't be because you wanted some time alone with Potter, would it? Even if you were taking advantage of my absence to spend time in his company, I know you wouldn't spurn mine for his.
But I've had enough of being by myself. I miss you. I'll come home.
-Your Draco

If you believe you have news of such importance that you must deliver it then send it.
