alt_luciusI've already spoken to Draco this after-noon but do not think me unaware of the measures you both took yesterday to make our guests comfortable.
Narcissa and I both appreciate your efforts. In a party the size of our holiday gathering, it is quite impossible for us to be in all places at once.
Your attention on our behalf is particularly notable given that you have a personal connexion to the Weasley family. Thus your ability to set that sorrow aside in favour of playing hostess (and graciously, from all accounts), does you great credit.
Doubtless we shall see you to-morrow at the funeral. Arthur and I had our ... differences, over the years, but it cannot be denied that he sacrificed himself for the good of the Protectorate (and do not mean only the manner of his untimely demise). Suspect my clerk too proud to reveal to me the true extent of the family's destitution without their provider but - should you hear through your friendships of ways in which Mrs Malfoy or I might assist them, quietly, do let me know.
As for you, no doubt your friends' loss accentuates your own. (Confess it even brought back memories of my own father's death, and natural that it should do.) As ever, if you have need of me for your own behalf, am always at your disposal.
Am ... exceedingly proud of the woman you are becoming, Little Bit. Considering the distance you have covered since your initial term at Hogwarts, the difference of four years is somewhat astonishing - yet simultaneously, no less than I should have expected. Confident that you shall continue to grow into a witch of the finest calibre. To that end, I look forward to the result and remain, always,
Your loving godfather,
Lucius
