Am I the only one in this bloody school who has the slightest ability to think rationally?
Riddle me this, Hogwarts. What does turning one hundred or so students into animals in one room when you can't even fathom what they might turn into equal? Oh, yes, I certainly see the safety precautions there. I'm just kicking myself that I didn't go so I could be turned into a fish left gasping for air on the sodding floor! What if someone had turned into a manticore? Or a common bear? Everyone could have been killed. People could have eaten each other. Of course, this would have been an improvement for student morale, but really, now. One would think that there would at least be some intelligence contributed to the lessons here.
I hear Potter was turned into a snake. Really, Potter, if you'd wanted to be a Slytherin, perhaps you should have just asked the Sorting Hat nicely. Or perhaps this is a new development upon realising that Slytherins are far better in comparison.
Pansy and Millicent have thoughtfully given me some kindle for the common room fireplace. And to add insult to injury, they had my name charmed onto it. What sort of barbaric customs do they think I'd participate in? As a result, I've been giving them both the silent treatment this week. It is not my fault that I was the only one who saw the Bludger aimed at Millicent during Quidditch practice. Since I wasn't speaking to her, I couldn't yell, "Duck!"
I have a feeling she's a bit sore over that, but that certainly isn't my fault.
Since we've been put on this dismal vegetarian diet, I've taken it upon myself to have my meals owled in from Hogsmeade. The food is rather sub par compared to that at the Manor, but at least I'm not eating tofu bouillabaisse.
Yesterday we had a Dracology lesson for Care of Magical Creatures, which was, of course, soundly boring, despite the appearance of an actual dragon. Of course, I was rather surprised - I'd expected Potter would, perhaps, perform a Summoning Charm to get his Firebolt and try to do a little showing off. Instead, the lump just sucked up to Lupin the whole time and didn't even say anything when my foot accidentally got in the way of him walking. I suspect something is awry. Hmm.

Did I ever tell you how handsome you look when you're not talking? I am certain everyone agrees.

I assure you, I know how handsome I look at all times.

Too true, perhaps, but nonetheless sometimes you look better than others.

Mr. Malfoy. Do try to get your facts right. Over a hundred students in the Animagus class? There were less than ten. And of course we knew what we were transforming them into when we began. This was a test to see if their prospective forms were feasible. It is quite obviously a good thing that you dropped the class at the first sign of hard work.

Ten? Really, Sirius, have you become so infatuated with nepotism that you had forgotten there were more pupils in this school than Mr. Potter and his friends? For shame, Sirius Black. For shame.

I couldn't agree more, Professor Sinistra. And have I mentioned how healthy your hair is looking lately?

I don't think the point of the class is as much to teach about Animagism as to keep an eye on the students. Obviously there's advantages in being an Animagus, and if they control the teaching process they can write down details of the forms so they can catch anyone trying to do it on their own. I've been going to the theory classes, especially the one Professor Black did on the Dark Arts, but things like this - it's just giving teachers information that they honestly don't need about our talents and such. I didn't qualify for the class, but I wouldn't have agreed to be tested or transformed anyway. Who knows what they're doing with that information?
I'll probably still be going to the theory classes though, since you're not going and there's a space. The teachers seem to be too busy fighting to notice. Not that that's new.

Draco,
I am very distressed to learn of the food situation at Hogwarts. Effective immediately, I will have your meals owled to you. They will be charmed, of course, so that they'll be warm. Growing boys need meat. Do you have any special meal requests from the Manor kitchens?

Growing boys need meat.
Hmm. I recall Sirius once owning a tee-shirt bearing that same slogan.
An interesting piece of wisdom to pass on to one's progeny, to say the least.

Ah yes. Remus Lupin, who can always be trusted to disinter the past. However, I do sympathize with your plight, being the obligate carnivore that you are on a monthly basis. But fret not. Narcissa gets cranky once a month as well.

Father,
Can we just make for bloody certain that none of our house-elves are cohorting with the house-elves at Hogwarts? I really don't fancy finding my food laced with asphodel and wormwood. Also, Mother is relentless about her book. Fortunately, I've taken the opportunity to donate it permanently to Hogwarts' library. I am certain they will appreciate it.
The heir to the throne,
Draco.
