Attention, Lucius Malfoy.

Congratulations, Mr. Malfoy. I always knew you'd incontrovertibly prove your true colors as a parent one of these days. Congratulations for going above and beyond even what forms of depravity I believed you capable of.

My only hope is that one day your son will learn that he is not to blame for your obtuse selfishness and your complete lack of feeling. I am relieved he will finally have an opportunity to be out from under your influence. He needs as little of it as possible, and always has. And before you begin to argue that I have no right to tell you what your own son needs, let me assure you that you gave up the right to have any influence over him whatsoever the moment you began ignoring your son's owls and treating him like the scourge of humanity simply because he cannot lower himself to the level of sheer heartlessness and cruelty of which you have proven yourself capable.

You are an utter disgrace to the wizarding world, and your son is a far more worthy member of it than you will ever be enlightened enough to understand.


Now, then. For those of you at Hogwarts, I trust you shall all do your best to make young Mr. Malfoy comfortable and welcome during the next few days. If you do not, you will not only be shaming your houses, but losing points in the process. I may not post as much to these journals as some of you, and I may not have the eye of a Seer like Miss Patil, but rest assured, I do keep my watch around here, and I will be watching.

Also, Mr. Macmillan, while I do agree the fate of my recent attempts to distribute these two unfortunate Hogsmeade passes is rather peculiar, I hardly think the passes themselves are jinxed. In an attempt to remedy this I will be releasing them only on future universal arithmantric days of success. As the next such upcoming day is Thursday, you can expect the passes to be available on Wednesday for anyone who wants them. Kindly begin planning your schedules now, and if you have the fortune to take Arithmancy, for heaven sakes, do use your self-updating numerological calcu-lendars. There'll be no fighting over the passes, cursed or not. And really, the very idea that something has hexed them is preposterous. It's merely that things have been positively bullocks around here for weeks. The transition from yearly cycle to yearly cycle during such periods are often rough, but I sense a great turbulence at Hogwarts, probably arising from the combination of the aforementioned cylic changes and its position to the Northwest of Hogsmeade. Those of you wondering why I have drawn such conclusions may look forward to further discussion in your next Arithmancy classes, in which we will be examining the correlation between numerical and spatial values, in a lecture I like to call "Fung Shui Three."

That will be all for the present. Draco, I would like to see you in my office as soon as you read this, if you would.

Good evening, Hogwarts.

Terribly sorry, Professor, but I'm afraid I really don't have the time.

You will see me in my office, Mr. Malfoy, right now, or there will be consequences to pay.

I hardly see what need you have to see me, as my essay was quite on time.

Your essay is fine, Mr. Malfoy. I need to discuss a few things with you. In my office, spit-spot.

Fine. I do hope you aren't planning to draw any sort of confidential information out of me with pastries, as I think we've both seen in the past that I can't be tempted by sugar.

Young man, I can safely say that you will wish I had stuffed you with pastries after I'm done saying what I have to say to you. In my office.
