| Current mood: | malcontent |
In a few moments, I am about to go and rouse Mr. Malfoy from his enchanted slumber. And why would I do this on a Sunday morning? Because it is the worst time for a detention that I could think of. And what, pray tell, is this horrid thing that I must enforce? Why it is the nightmare of any wizard or witch.
Mr. Malfoy shall have to serve in the manner of an ordinary house-elf. I certainly do not envy him. However, I am of the belief that Mr. Malfoy is strong enough in character to overcome this minor inconvenience.
Minerva and I are once again locked in an impasse. Whether Mr. Malfoy remains a Prefect or not is at stake. We have exhausted all the game boards in the school and we've played every card game we could think of. We are in a dead heat so to speak. This is most irritating, as this issue has been going on for weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if the Headmaster suggested "Paper, Rock, Scissors" next.
Sylvia finally recovered and I was allowed to return to my normal life. In a way. I have absolutely nothing to say about my carrying-on over the past couple months. Just let it be known that it was only a temporary lapse. I don't know if I can honestly say that I'm better, but I can say that I am feeling like my old self again, which is comforting considering that it appears that I was a completely different person for a while.
I cringe at the thought of the upcoming holidays. One can only hope that everyone actually has a place to go. Looking after hormonal teenagers is not my idea of a relaxing time. Even giving detention is starting to lose its appeal. No, that can't be true. It must be the fatigue speaking. Yes, that's what it is.

Oh Professor. How awful for Draco. However, I do understand your hand was forced in this respect. More so, I hope you are able to relax during the upcoming holidays. You sound so very weary. Perhaps, I could make you a cup of tea some evening.

Ms Parkinson, I assume I am correct in supposing that you would be quite alarmed if I did, in fact, accept your offer.

I'm so happy to know that I am now a "temporary lapse."

There are worse things I could have said. I chose discretion.

Ah, yes, and you are, as always, a paragon of discretion, aren't you.
I know better.

Black,
Are you sure you want to get into this here? Now? I think not. Just let it go.

Yes, I do believe I'll let it go, like the mistake it was.
Goodbye, Severus.

You know why it's the best thing to do. And here I am stirring it up. But you do know why. Why I can't accept it. Why it has to be this way. I've dragged myself up and dusted myself off, Black. I think I've played the stricken victim long enough, don't you think? I don't wear those colours well.

Ah, yes, Severus. I do have a bone to pick with you on the matter of my son's detention. Please inform me as to the nature of the misdeed that led to this undeserved treatment.
I await your reply.

Lucius,
I think you know very well that Draco did nothing to deserve that detention. Admittedly, I never thought Potter would stay so undisciplined as to require punishment for all four houses before finally settling down.
You have a lot to be proud of, Lucius. I do believe your son found no less than twenty-seven items that are blackmail material. Of course, I don't know the details (the less I know the better), however I believe that Draco will use this to his advantage.
You are free to call on me anytime, as you know. My door is always open to you.
