Er . . . Mum? (Astoria)

[Damien Malfoy]

Dear Mum,

Uh, I thought maybe I should uhm owl you since you missed my birthday and Scorpius.

I haven't heard from any one ever in a while.

Grandad only owls when he's angry with us. . . Dad doesn't owl at all.

How have you been?


Sincerely,
Damien

My Damien,

I'm glad you sent me an owl, dear. And, well, I'm very sorry for missing the birthdays. Not to mention, I apologize for my lack of attention and focus. I know that things are tense between us, but I'm getting better now.

Why has your grandfather been angry with you? And your father doesn't owl? I would have a talk with him about that, but your father is on a strange level right now. I think you would be happier when he's in a better mood.

I've been okay, really. Things have been good, for the most part lately. I'm going to be honest with you, because I feel I can be, and say that things were rather bad. But, they're looking up now!

How have you been, dear? And I mean, honestly, how have you been? I don't want a small answer.. I want to know all of the significant things that've happened since we last spoke.

With my love,
Mum.

Mum,

Glad? Me. Are you sure you're not confusing me with Scorpius? I mean, I can ask him to write you if you'd like. . . Tense, you act like I don't exist - shit, you're reading through scribbles. Ah fuck. Things are tense. Not in the slightest. Getting better? What was wrong before?

Don't worry about Grandfather - or Dad. Its not a big deal. Draco Malfoy, happier? Are you drinking? shit

Bad? I know I'm going to be sorry I asked, but what do you mean by bad?

I'm okay. Are you sure you're feeling well? And you know I'm Damien, right? When was the last time we spoke?




Lo

Sincerely,
Damien

My Damien,

I'm certainly not confusing you with Scorpius. He's the only one I haven't heard from lately, not that it surprises me. Okay, maybe tense was the wrong word.. But things are getting better. Not that you truly care. Things were just in a negative atmosphere.

I suppose your father isn't getting happier, but I'm hoping he will.

It's just that I hate- nothing, really, dearest. So no need to be sorry to ask, but it's just stuff that isn't anything to wonder over.

I'm feeling great! Life is still shit evolving and I want to make things better. I'm very well aware that you're Damien; why are you so shocked? I know I'm a shit mother. I don't know the last time we spoke, either. But that's why I want to know everything that's important in your life. Really.

With my love,
Mum.

[Damien Malfoy]

My Damien? Are you toying with me. . . because that's not nice in the slightest.

Mum,

I'm just asking. I'm not exactly your favourite person, really. So I'm just surprised that you're still writing me. Scorpius is probably too busy screw with his Weasley. Ella's writing you? And you're writing me. I'm confused.

Let's all hope for a happier Draco Malfoy, that's just what the world needs. I agree whole heartedly.

Nothing to ponder over? If it's affected you to the point that I actually exist to you so deeply, I can try listen.

Well, I'm glad that you're feeling swell then, Mum. I wish we all felt as swell as you! I'm not shocked, I just want you to make sure that you know that you're writing the spare, not the heir.

Important in my life? Well, nothing much really. All the same things. Okay, I'm really confused now. This isn't a joke is is?
Did someone put you up to writing these letters. Or is this Seb or someone trying to pull a joke on me?.


Lov
