purest, perfect pet

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!

Daphne! I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. Mummy says, Hello, of course. She was in Paris, this last month - brought me so many lovely clothes. There are a few that are just a bit too big for me about the waist. I'll owl them to you. They'll fit you perfectly. Don't forget dinner this week! Awenki is going to cook something superb.

Theo, dear, would you like to have dinner sometime this week? I'm hosting a little get together at the manor. I do hope you'll fit us into your schedule.

Adrian, you may come to dinner at the manor this week if you promise not to flirt with my maid. Penelope doesn't like you nor will she sleep with you - not even if you pay her.

Congratulations again to the happy and handsome McLaggens! I hope your children aren't ghastly.
