blondenarcissa in nocturne_alley: No subject.

I am still in Hogsmeade at some horrifically overpriced inn. Between the bad company, the nonexistent view, and the hideously ugly decorum that would better suit a doxy than a person let alone a Malfoy, I do believe the innskeeper should pay me to stay here. There are many parents here as well and no one really knows much of anything as of yet. Parents who could not find a room at the inn have taken to sleeping in sheds and such behind that tiny magical creature emporium just down the way from Honeydukes. I feel as though I have been awake for days and I honestly have no idea how long I have been staying here in Hogsmeade.

If Lucius had not owled me when he did, I probably would still remain utterly unaware that there had been some sort of fiasco at Hogwarts. Honourable Hera, I am relieved and grateful that Lucius did send an owl to the Chalet to inform me of the problems at Draco's school.

As Hera Peligroso was still visiting when I received my post the other day, I had to explain the situation as I knew it and bade her farewell. The darling was ever so understanding of my plight and offered to stay at the Chalet to oversee Echo whilst I was away. I do hope she remembers that Echo only drinks Eternally Evian and does not care for bone marrow treats from kneazels. She prefers the bone marrow of hippogriffs.

Being able to communicate with Draco via this journaling project put my mind a bit more at ease as at least I know he is alive and all in one piece. The moment that someone in authority at that school lets the parents know that it is alright to come and collect their children I shall do so. It is my hope that Lucius will be able to join me when Draco and I are reunited but I will understand if he cannot be there right away. He is currently at the Ministry of Magic offering his assistance concerning this matter in any way that he can.

In the meantime, I suppose that all I can do is wait.

Remus, Sirius, I do hope you find Harry alright. My thoughts are with you both.

Narcissa,

Why don't you come home? You'd be so much more comfortable here and you can go to Hogsmeade the instant you hear anything. Draco is fine, and they'll find all the missing, I'm sure. No one wants to think about innocent children being hurt but these things do happen and it's an excellent opportunity for Draco to show off his leadership skills and Malfoy upbringing.

Lucius,

The offer sounds delightful. I cannot bear to be here in Hogsmeade among the common and panic-stricken for one moment longer. I shall send word to Hera at the Chalet to send Echo to the Manor and will be along myself shortly. It should please Draco that I am returning home as I know he was looking forward to Summer holiday at the Manor with both of his parents accounted for there.

You are right; he shall do a fine job of providing leadership for those who feel helpless. It is rather selfless of him to cast aside his own worries and provide the general public at Hogwarts with someone to look up to during these troubled times.

Re:

He is our son. I'd expect no less from him. I shall have your chambers prepared, and perhaps we can discuss where we'll go for our family vacation this year. I rather fancy Egypt.

In addition to the family vacation, we have much to discuss, Lucius. I do not wish to give you a laundry list of items here but I would imagine that you have some idea of the things I feel we need to converse about and I will not stand for patronization or facetious indulgence.

I shall see you shortly.
