CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

'The Black Theory'

'In which the lipstick is smudged'

Dear Father,

I don't know how to reply to your last letter. I'm upset you've admitted that you've been seeing her for months was it? You not only broke mother's trust but my own and Elijah's. He was asking about you. I know you two have your differences but for merlins sake he's your son and my twin. He's as much part of this family as I am and you need to speak to him.

He said you didn't even try to see him when you visited Hogwarts? You couldn't have stopped by the great hall and looked to see if he was there? He's your son! Start acting like a man and take responsibility for your actions!

As for Narcissa I don't know what you want me to say. I know she had run out on her wedding day, leaving Lucius Malfoy at the alter I just didn't realise you were the reason for it. One good deed does not make up for the wrongs you have done. I wish you and Narcissa the best. I hope you learn how to act like a better man with her. I need time and I will be speaking to mother about not only your letter but about what you said.

She deserves to know everything father. She loved you. Even if what you said was true how could you tell me that?! You two are what I based my own relationship on! Not only have you put undeserved anxiety in my head you've broken my mothers heart. I hope for Narcissa's sake you are happy and don't seek the comfort of yet another woman.

Christmas? No, I'll make other arrangements thank you very much.

Your daughter,

Fawn

Dear Mother,

I suppose I should start this letter by informing you that I have in fact been in contact with father post his visit to Hogwarts. I comforted him about the affair and he admitted that it has been going on a while. I'm sorry mum, I really am. I thought father was a good man and now my opinions have changed.
