In a few short hours Draco and I will be leaving Hogwarts to return to the Manor.  I shall travel by Floo so that I may have time there alone to make certain that the house is in order and to arrange for a nice tea when Draco arrives.  He shall be taking the Hogwarts Express to King's Cross and I will meet him there later today.  Although he could ( Read more... )

I did not know. I did not know but I do now and am not sure what to think or feel ( Read more... )

There isn't anything to celebrate. I do not know why certain people insist that there is, unless they are referring to the fact that my son has almost completed his schooling at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is preparing to leave from there shortly. Somehow, however, I think that this particular fact is not the very thing they ( Read more... )

When I was a small girl, Mother and Father took me for long holidays on the fanciful yacht Father received as a gift from an old Greek wizard. I can remember very clearly standing on the deck as Father would stand next to the wheel and direct it with his wand. The feeling of the water beneath the vessel was something of a comfort to Mother; she ( Read more... )

The Manor has been quiet this past week since Lucius took his leave. I find it to be a rather welcome, although unexpected, change. The elves seem to be in joyous mood for sometime now, although Kiki could do with a Cheering Charm and a few Obedience Charms thrown in for good measure. The elf simply loathes to take proper instruction from me and ( Read more... )

He has left and that is fine with me. Everyone has left. Draco is back at school. He went to Paris. He went to where only Merlin knows and that is quite all right. He distressed me. He has for some time although I can never say as much to him. He took Dacey from me ( Read more... )

It is early. This is not the first martini that Dacey has brought me since I have been awake. I think this shall not be the last martini I will have consumed today; I have much need for drink on this day of days ( Read more... )

There is much to do before Friday eve and I am uncertain that I shall be able to accomplish it all. Of course, I am merely feeling this way as what shall transpire has the potential to be overwhelming for more than one of the Malfoys and I am projecting emotions that may or may not occur on Friday now as if to pre-emptively purge the Manor of such ( Read more... )

I am utterly exhausted due to my extensive travelling over the past twenty-four hours. Had some daft witch with Portkey Office at the Department of Magical Transport not mussed up my Portkey, I would not have had to spend a good thiry minutes Apparating and Disapparating yesterday! My Portkey was supposed to have taken me to Marrakech but instead ( Read more... )

The Manor has been so quiet as of late. My Lucius has been extremely busy these past few weeks, Apparating here and there on business. He returns to the Manor for an evening or two and then is immediately off once again. I shan't complain too terribly, however, as he is always sure to bring me treasures back from his travels in addition to the ( Read more... )
