Owl from Lucius Malfoy to Kat Lovegood, dated 12 September 1942...
Warded as strongly as Kat can handle, and sealed with his seal:
Dear Kat,
I miss you, and I really wish you were here, especially since there are so many other people here that we barely know. This was supposed to be fun, but I knew it wouldn't be.
The last time my oldest brother, Yvon (he's adopted, and there was a Fidelius, and so it's complicated, which is why we've never talked much about him) left the house I was afraid he might not come back, because he was really angry that they sent Mamma to Germany and that Nico and Uncle Julian and Cousin St John and the others didn't stop her from going. But I should have realised he'd always come back for me. And I know he's right, because he likes me better than the rest of them, better than anyone here except for Mamma and Alessio (he's in love with Alessio, which was part of why I didn't want him to marry that girl--and he isn't going to). But I was so glad to see him again.
Except he's ill, now, and they say he nearly died (everyone says he's just fine, but I can hear Steren and Ximena talking). Alessio's with him, but his girl is really angry (not that I blame her!) and the house is in an uproar and Isabella's with the other girls and Tom keeps having to talk to all these grown-ups people want him to meet and...I miss you. At least now I know what the terrible thing I was so sure would happen actually was.
Yours,
Luce
