Draco wrote and rewrote the note several times. He was a fool for this. He knew. There was no argument. Yet, no matter how many times he'd tried to return to bed, the thoughts returned. With all the excitement and chaos and even dread of the Ball, it had been relatively easy to force his mind to not think of certain issues.
Certain issues, brilliant way of attempting to avoid things.
Those issues had been the Weasleys affects on the pack. The pack he'd abandoned. Reading it once more, he shook his head, set his wand against it and whispered. Then he tied it, along with a small parcel, to his eagle owl before he could change his mind again.
Miss Ginevra Weasley,
Enclosed you will find a donation towards your services regarding Remus Lupin and his pack. This is only the first installment. If you require more, you know how to find me.
Draco Malfoy
P.S. This letter is charmed to disintegrate shortly after your reading it. If you inform anyone of this donation, I will deny it.
The parcel contains 50 galleons.
