purest, perfect pet

It's raining and I'm dreadfully bored. Mummy's gone back to Paris to see Sophie and it's so boring in the manor. Everett and Daddy are doing well. Daphne's gone on a trip and I'm absolutely dying of boredom.

Draco, do you want- If anyone wants to come over, I've decided to have Awenki serve dinner and drinks. Come whenever you like. Blaise, you're more than welcome to come - Adrian, Greg, Millicent.

Draco, if you're free, we'd love to have you as well, but I know how busy you are with the manor.

Dinner is at 8. See you then.

Daphne! Draco is coming home from France and demands a parade! Should we give him one? ( Private to Daphne )

It really is starting to feel like Christmas around here. The manor is coming along nicely. Everything looks so bright and festive. I'ver got all the faeries for all the trees, even the small one in my bedroom. I've got mistletoe and holly and garlands (natural ones, of course) all about the house. There are already a slew of presents under the two trees in the living area and a few for cook and Penelope under the small tree we got for them in the kitchen. Have to keep the help pleased - the good help at least. Penelope has been with us years and deserved a new uniform and cook is getting updated kitchen ware. They will love it.

It is going to be a wonderful day!
