(no subject)

Okay, so I don't hear anything from mum over Christmas or for my birthday. Then today I get this owl from her, asking all these questions about Lucius and how he treats me and what we do and it's all quite puzzling. And ranting about Grindelwald and how he wasn't what people thought he was and... I don't know what to make of it.

I know I'm too old, and not technically an orphan, but having a non-mental parent sounds lovely.

Lucius, I'm sending you mum's owl. It's easier for you to read it than me try to explain it to you.

And now back to my astronomy reading. Maybe mum's ruling planet is in the House of Mental? Though I don't know much about astrology and trying to understand Mum Logic is like trying to play chess with a kappa. It just isn't going to happen.

But the music party was fun and Lav and Padma are giving me Fashion Advice. And colour advice. I don't know how all this works but it's interesting.

What on earth does she say about Grindel--

Nevermind, I shall read it directly it arrives.

[alt_pansy]

The Gridelwald stuff is all mixed up and doesn't make sense, only that he wasn't what people thought he was, and that other people aren't what they seem to be either. That a pretty face hides many secrets.

I had to borrow a school owl so I don't know how fast they are but you should get it later. I sent it off just after lunch.

[alt_lucius]

Ah. That ... actually makes sense to me, but I can see that you would lack the context to understand her gist. Don't waste time worrying over it. Focus on your astronomy.

I shall wait until I see the thing myself to say anymore. As I say, don't distress yourself too much; let me handle it.

Thank you, Lucius.

Did you see I came in third on the potions exam? Not great, but not horrid either, right? Was my father good at potions?

[alt_lucius]

I did and well done. Third is quite respectable at this stage, though I believe Draco plans to challenge your rank at the next opportunity.

Tony? He was tolerable in Potions, though it was not his best subject. To be honest, he rarely paid more attention than necessary to get by - not something he'd like me telling you, I'm certain. Luckily he was possessed of natural aptitude for most of his lessons.

He would be quite pleased with your marks, I'm certain.

Draco always makes me work really hard in classes, because he's so smart himself. So I guess it's a rivalry of sorts but it's a good kind, I think.

[alt_ernie]

I bet my mum would adopt you! She'd love a daughter!

[alt_lavender]

I'm still hoping to talk you into letting me use that Curling Potion on your hair sometime. It would really give it Body.

Oh, and don't forget to come tomorrow when we do Megan.

[alt_padma]

It must be really hard to have a mum like yours.

Lav's right - the curling potion would do well on you. It's going to be alot of fun and itll take your mind right off your mum's mentalness.

[alt_pansy]

You get used to it.

Curling potion? Yes, I think tonight will take my mind off a lot of stuff.

[alt_draco]

Maybe your Mother wishes you would stop spending so much time with my Father.

[alt_pansy]

He spends far more time with you than he does with me, you know. I haven't seen him since the holidays.

Thanks for your support. One thing I'm learning from all this is who my friends are. That's always a good lesson to learn, don't you think?

[alt_draco]

A good lesson indeed.
