Blair; From Chasity

[chasity]

Blair,

Back to school, eh? What a bore. At least the administration's trying to make things a little bit more exciting this year with the tournament, but I can't say that any of the champions are that impressive, can you? Your brother should have entered. He would have been a far better candidate than Malfoy #2. If you were a year older you would have been a great champion too. Oh well, maybe there'll be a tournament when you're in seventh year or something, right?

How is school doing with you? Your classes are probably not too difficult at the moment, eh? Teachers don't really start piling on the work until the end of the year, or your fifth year... I hope you haven't been given too much trouble thanks to this Summer's... unfortunate occurrences. Of course, I'm sure you know that you don't need to take anything from anybody without giving it right back to them in the form or a well placed curse.

Anyways, I just thought that I'd check up on you. I haven't seen you or your sister much this year, and letters are a whole lot easier for communication than arranging to meet up. Get back to me whenever you can, no rush.

Chastity,

Can't say that I'm at all impressed with the champions myself, but we'll just see how it all goes. After all the Malfoys were respectable once upon a time, maybe the tournament will help out. I think I'm a bit relieved that my brother didn't enter, just because we aren't sure how dangerous the tasks can get, and the last thing I would want is for him to get hurt because of some stupid pointless tournament. If I'm honest I don't see what the whole point of it is, sure eternal glory sounds nice, but I'd rather be known for something a bit more glamorous than winning the tournament. But who knows, if they do something similar when I am older I might enter, who knows how much my thinking can change in the next few years.

School isn't so bad, I'm trying my best in all of my classes, I have nothing better to do, might as well do well and make sure my ambitions are met once I am older. No one has bugged me particularly, I think they are more afraid of my cursing them or something. After all even though I look all sweet and innocent, the smart ones know that it isn't smart to mess with me. Even though I am trying my best to keep a low profile, the whole change in hair color seems to have done wonders as well, so I can't complain. I'm really just waiting for someone to say something so I can make an example of them.

Thanks for caring though, I'm sure Blythe will appreciate knowing that you are worried about us. This is really a much simpler way of communicating as well. What about you? How are you doing? Did you have an exciting summer?

Blair,

The eternal glory aspect of the tournament is just a farce, anyways. Honestly, who can name any of the past champions of things like the TriWizard tournament? Okay, everyone knows Potter's name, but that's because he's Harry Bloody Potter. Whoever wins the tournament will be forgotten within a year, and their name will just be added to another meaningless trophy or plaque to collect dust with all the other useless scraps of metal in the trophy room. I just think that, if there were any glory to be won, it would be far better suited to go to Blake than to Scorpius. Even if the Malfoys were a great family generations ago, they went sour somewhere along the line and I don't have much hope for Scorpius. After all, he is dating a muggleborn.

They shouldn't mess with you at all. You and your family did nothing wrong, really. Everyone else is just... pathetically misguided. Of course, if anyone did dare say anything against you I'm sure your big brother would put them in their place, too, if you didn't. Speaking of Blake... I hear rumors he's been hanging around my little cousin a lot. I hope he breaks her heart.

I've been pretty well. It's great that I'm finally in my last year at Hogwarts, because I don't think I could handle having to come back another year... I'm ready to get out in the world. After I'm hoping to get an internship at the ministry and work my way up the ladder... The higher the better, ya know?This Summer was pretty well for me, too. My family went to Egypt, which was pretty cool. My mother was absolutely entranced with the pyramids. And... yeah, nothing too momentous to mention from that.

Chastity,

I always thought it was just a load of propaganda to make the tournament out to be something it wasn't. You are right, I don't think anyone really remembers any of the winners, of course they remember Harry Potter, he's known for other things. I think what pops out at most people is how they tend to die, but if you are stupid enough to enter you should know that you are basically signing off to the idea you might get killed for a stupid tournament. In my opinion, something ridiculously idiotic to die for, but some people will do anything for fame. I do wonder what on earth even went through his mind, I mean he did date a pureblood before, it's like down grading or I don't know, but there is something not right in his head I think.

They still talk about it, after all it was a huge scandal. Obviously no one says anything to our faces, because they know they will have Blake to deal with and of course Blythe and I are known to be able to take care of ourselves too. But I'm not ignorant enough to believe they forgot about it, realistically people would think I would want to go into hiding but I don't care. I didn't do anything, neither did my father, and if they think otherwise they can gladly tell me to my face and I'll fix their problem. Oh yes I've been hearing rumors about that myself, I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it, but we'll just see where it goes before Blythe and I plan some sort of intervention, no offense Chastity since she is your family, but no way is our brother ending up with her.

I'm jealous, I still have three more years in this place before I can even aspire to get anywhere. Mother says that I need to focus on school so I can get a good place in the ministry, she's been laying low. So it's just the thought that one day I'll have a high ranking position, that makes me okay with being here all year long. Egypt sounds like fun. We spent most of the summer locked inside the house, I wasn't allowed any fun whatsoever because of the scandal and the moronic paparazzi. If we were allowed to do magic outside of school I'm pretty sure I would have cursed at least half of them. But tell me about Egypt, what was your favorite part? Is that the only think you did this past summer?

Blair,

Well, you know... there are some champions this year who I might not mind becoming so well known, as long as they're well known for death and not victory. Too many mudbloods and blood traitors involved in the tournament this year.

The Malfoy's haven't been right since Harry Potter's 'triumph'. At first my father says he thought it was all a game; something to keep the authorities off of their backs thanks to their involvement way back when. But they never faded from that damned 'goody-two-shoes' position, and it transferred to Draco, which now transferred to Scorpius. As much as it pains me to say that another pureblood family has gone bad, I think it's hard to deny that now.

Oh, don't worry about that, I'm not worried about it at all. This is Blake after all. You know your brother, always making games of girls for his own amusement... he's got a lot of sense, Blair. He's your father's son, after all. There's no way he'd associate with a blood traitor like her seriously. And I don't mind if he uses Alarica. As far as I'm concerned she's not any family of mine. I'm more than happy to hear Blake's messing around with her. The girl deserves to have something, namely Blake, get her head out of the clouds and come crashing back down to reality that she and her family aren't worth anything, no matter how sweet they might seem to be.

Your father's actions were only such a craze because things have been so calm lately. I mean, if that sort of thing had been done back in the second wizarding war, it wouldn't have raised any eyebrows. Something else big just has to come along to get the public's minds off of your father, and then things will calm down once more.

My favorite part... well, I'm not sure, really. It was pretty cool going into some of the tombs. Actually, that was kind of awesome. The heat was unbearable, though. And yeah, that was pretty much all we did. We left in Early July, and didn't return until late August... your family made the news even there, though, so I knew what was going on.

Chastity,

Well I could care less what happens to them if I'm honest. They could lose a limb, and I really couldn't care. It's not like I'll even bother watching the tasks anyway, I'd rather do my nails or go shopping. I mean really the last thing I want to do is sit in the stands, freezing, watching a group of people I don't particularly like, do difficult tasks.

I always thought the Malfoy's had some shred of self respect, I thought that they probably wanted everyone to believe they had changed. After all it's a sure way to avoid Azkaban, to show remorse. But I am starting to think you are right. It's a shame really since Scorpius is attractive, but the fact that his family really has just lost all self respect makes it hard to focus on said attractiveness.

I'm not worried yet, but you know boys can be a bit unreliable sometimes. They let things go to their heads, bury themselves deep, and then have no idea how to get themselves out of trouble. But you are right my brother does have common sense, and if he didn't, well then he does have us so straighten him out. I have no idea how you are even related to her, or her brother? You guys couldn't be anymore different, yet you have the misfortune of sharing the same last name.

Yeah but hopefully it all dies down soon enough it's annoying having to deal with everyone knowing. But it's great that you had fun, at least one of us did. I just can't believe that I wanted to do so much during the summer, but I ended up having to stay at home the whole time to avoid the badgering questions and just looks that people gave us. You should have seen us step into Diagon Alley to get our things for school, people were giving us dirty looks left and right. Ignorant morons.

Blair,

The only thing that I may caution against in your case, Blair, is sticking out too much. It goes without saying that you and your siblings are being carefully watched by student and teacher alike. After all, all three of you are clearly proud and confident and in Slytherin. People will be watching for anything out of the norm from you guys to gossip about, or call to the attention of others. It's not as though they can do anything to you without cause, but you could get even more rumors flying about you guys than already are. Being the only student, or one of the only students, not attending what is seen by many as one of the biggest events in the school's recent history, could turn a few heads.

If they haven't got the attitude, ignore the looks. You can do far better than Scorpius Malfoy, my dear. Let him end up with his little mudblood and be happy while bringing yet another pureblood line to ruin. It doesn't concern us. We've got sense, and it's his loss if he doesn't.

True, boys are unpredictable and easily led astray... but this isn't the first time Blake has played a game with a girl. I'm confident he can handle himself quite nicely, and if he can't he has us three to knock sense into him. I could easily scare Alarica away from him, too. She's a timid little thing. As for our relation... well, there is none, really. Her father was the son of good friends of my grandparents, purebloods of course. When they passed on, my grandparents adopted him, which makes him my adoptive uncle. Steve Amethyst is his son, while Alarica is a child they adopted in a similar fashion to how he was adopted by my grandparents; the death of friends. So we're not blood related.

They're all idiots. They don't realize that your father was doing a service to wizard kind. Why should we have to live in hiding? It's not as though the muggles could actually harm us. Once I'm high up in the Ministry of Magic I'll do everything within my power to get people to see reason.

Chastity,

I know that we are being watched, but it’s not like I’m going to go around killing random people. Either way it isn’t really my fault that the tournament holds no real interest for me, I have no real desire to watch people from each house compete for glory. I never even bother with the quidditch games for that very reason, these things just don’t appeal to me. I know that I have to at least pretend to care, but it’s hard to do so when I find the whole thing dull. I’d probably end up doing my nails the whole time, instead of paying attention to what happens in the stupid tournament. But I’ll keep that in mind, if I have to make an appearance I will, but I’m hoping no one will notice my absence. After all the whole school will be watching, and well I’m small so I can probably hide somewhere, so maybe no one will miss me.

Oh believe me I do not want Scorpius, he’s attractive sure but that’s all that he has. I’d rather deal with someone who at least knows how to be witty, because really I would rather not be dealing with a dull brained moron at all times of the day. I’m pretty sure my family would have a fit if they found out I was playing nice with mudbloods, not that I ever would obviously. But either way don’t worry I don’t even talk to Malfoy, he’s just someone that is there for me to stare at nothing more. I think I’d much rather someone else if I’m perfectly honest, though I can’t say anyone has actually caught my eye in that way. It might be best to just focus on school and not on boys.

I don’t approve of my brother playing these games, there will come a time when he intends it to be a game and it won’t result in that way. That’s what worries me, I know that he is full of common sense but once again boys aren’t logical at all times. I know that we could very easily knock sense into him, but I want to avoid us having to do that. Because if we do have to knock sense into him, well it might be hard because he is stubborn, it’s a trait we all happen to share. But if it comes to it, I’m sure we could get him to see reason, and if what you say is true and Alarica is indeed timid I might be able to handle her myself. I appear to be small and innocent (something I do happen to use to my advantage) and I might just scare her off myself. And eww what was his family even thinking, just really, adopt someone who we don’t even know is truly pureblood at all. Either way I don’t want her anywhere near my brother, he needs to set his sights up higher than a nobody like her.

Well the ministry has never been known to be the smartest kind. After all they seem to have a reputation for being idiotic, and love keeping it apparently. Either way I know that what my father did was for the best, and even though he’s paying for it now, I know he doesn’t regret it. The only thing he might regret is what the whole thing has done to us, and how everyone is now watching us even more closely. But we aren’t stupid we are not about to start using dark magic or anything of that sort, so they need to just leave us alone. Ugh let’s talk about something happier, shall we?
