France, Malfoy Manor:

Draco opened the door to the manor, and as soon as he stepped inside, his mother welcomed him with a warm embrace.

Narcissa: Draco, I'm so glad you're here! You can't imagine how much I've missed you.

Draco: I'm back, Mother.

Narcissa: How are your classes at Hogwarts?

Draco: They're going well.

Narcissa: I imagine you have a lot of N.E.W.T.s to prepare for.

Draco: Yes.

Draco: How are things going here?

Narcissa: The same old routine: walks in the gardens, reading a few books, and managing our business affairs.

Narcissa cast a significant glance at her son.

Draco: I'm not getting involved in the business, Mother, at least not while the Dark Lord is still alive.

Narcissa: Draco, you don't need to seek revenge. Those who killed Lucius have already been dealt with by Sasuke Uchiha. Don't take unnecessary risks.

Draco: I'm not being reckless, Mother. I'm a Slytherin; I'm cunning. I know that right now I'm no match for him or the Death Eaters, but the training I'm receiving will increase my chances. When the Dark Lord pays for what he did to my father, then I'll take care of our business. Until then, I trust you to handle everything.

Narcissa: You know I would never deny you anything, Draco. But please, be cautious.

Draco: I always am, Mother.

Narcissa: And what about Pansy? Have you heard from her?

Draco: No, nothing.

Narcissa: You two used to get along so well...

Draco: I have other things to worry about now.

Narcissa: I understand; I won't push it. Oh, I almost forgot! You mentioned something about a tournament happening after the Christmas holidays, right?

Draco: Yes, I plan to participate.

Narcissa: Then I'll be going back to London.

Draco: But you're safe here.

Narcissa: Even so, I need to handle some business in person, and I can't do that from here. Don't worry; I'll be accompanied by bodyguards.

Narcissa: Afterward, I'll visit Hogwarts to support you. If Sasuke Uchiha is training you, there's a good chance you'll make it to the semifinals. - she thought excitedly.

Mother and son continued their conversation.

London, Greengrass Manor:

Astoria: Don't be like that, sister.

Daphne: But she went ahead of me!

Astoria: You know he only accepted the invitation because he had business to discuss with the Minister. It wasn't a personal invitation from Susan.

Daphne: That's true... besides, I doubt anything will come of it, right?

Astoria: Exactly. Now go get ready; we're going to Diagon Alley to do some shopping.

Daphne: What do you think I should get for Sasuke?

Astoria: Anything, you'll come up with something.

In Diagon Alley, the two sisters and their mother strolled through the shops, looking for gifts.
