Oh, Minerva ....

[alt_lucius]

By the way ....

I trust we're in agreement on the matter of salary. Certainly he has experience, but there are standards to set. Precedents, that is.

Thought I'd best write it in case your memory is ... hazy ... come morning.

[alt_mcgonagall]

Of course we are Lucius.

If I don't remember it you shan't either, you know. You are quite as bad as I am to-night.

[alt_lucius]

inconceivable.

[alt_mcgonagall]

I think my scotch reserves would beg to differ my good sir.

Also that droll comment you made about Mr and Miss Mad.

[alt_lucius]

Which? that he's deluded enough to actually think he's the reincarnated Sade or the ... unusual and unfortunate window the journals provide to their ... relationship?

though I don't think we ever quite settled that bet.

[alt_mcgonagall]

The latter. I figured out the reincarnated sade bit myself. That bit about alecto complaining about how little sleep she gets.

I am sorry you know. About little Draco. Boys will be boys but of course I am sorry.

[alt_lucius]

Ah. Somewhat more than Amycus, I think, yes.

Regarding Draco, I think you know my position - and my ... stance on that count. Yes, scrapes are inevitable. Still.

[alt_mcgonagall]

Well in any

[alt_mcgonagall]

Sorry about prior comment. A mishap in pouring.

[alt_lucius]

Still at it? At this -

Good lord, it's ... very late. Think of your scotch reserves. I shan't take respnsibility for all of it!

[alt_mcgonagall]

Oh come off it Lucius it is the holidays after all, and I did nott mean you to take responsibility for any of it really. And now you are working on your own scotch I imagine.

[alt_lucius]

The elf had already poured. No sense puttinge it back in the decanter.

at any rate, you may be on holiday but you've still charges to consider. A charge, anyway.

self-possessed youngster, must say.

[alt_mcgonagall]

Not particularly

Asleep in bed the little tyke I suppose. Elf would tell me if not.

anyhow I suppose he must be sleeping like the dead in his bed, so soft. Compared.

[alt_lucius]

... S'that a comment on the camps or the comfort of Hogwarts? Not sure.

Also still not sure it's wise to indoctrinaate him so suddenly to proper society. though of course its also improper not to remove him at once from the animal filth. Hm.

Bother Weasley and his prying, anyway. As if anyone cares whether their lives are comfortable.

[alt_mcgonagall]

Well either really dont you remember dorm beds? The ones in Gryffindor were like boards really.

He took it fine honestly. Worse to leave him there

I believe I shall go to sleep now. I have called an elf for water.
