(With Lucius)

Lucius Malfoy was going through his mail. Most of it was just hate mail. Some were just thanking him for helping to take down that monster. Anything cursed or spelled harmful was sent to the auror department. The hate mail was from both the light and dark side. Almost everyone on the light side wanted him behind bars. They couldn't give up the image of him being a villain. They didn't want to believe they were wrong about him like they were about Dumbledore.

Luckily most of the families he helped were on his side. A few just viewed him as a monster but the rest understood. He had apologized in person now that him being a spy was out. He found out that the dark lord and a few minions had sent them memories of what their loved ones had gone through. That thought sickened him. The families on his side were happy he had put an end to the torture.

The Weasleys were also on his side. Arthur had been since the day he was recruited to help him. Molly soon supported him after learning all that his family had done and sacrificed. She realized the family wasn't evil at all.

The blood feud between them was settled. Items and heirlooms were returned and apologies given. It turned out both their families lied to them. Now they were rebuilding the relationship and alliance between them.

Potter and his family and friends also supported him. They had heard what the family had gone through and everything they had done. They were grateful to them. Plus Harry was family thanks to his great grandmother and great aunt being a Black.

They planned to meet during the summer. A dinner at a nice restaurant. Nick and Alex wouldn't be there. They were going to France for the summer. The Delecores wanted to see them again. They would meet them later on in the year.

They would see Severus at the dinner though. Draco was very excited to see his godfather again. If Lucius was honest he was excited to see the man as well. He was like his brother and he had been very upset that the man had to hide. He was also disappointed that Severus couldn't tell him about Potter. Narcissa was going to be happy as well. She only trusted Severus to brew her potions and she missed their chats over tea.

Lucius rolled his eyes as he read a letter from someone on the dark side. The man was barely in high society and yet he felt he could talk down to him. Luckily most of the dark supported each other. They realized that Voldemort was a monster and none of his goals were okay. Those that stayed loyal to the monster hated him.

They threatened him on a daily basis. Most of them were too cowardly to do anything in person. When he went out he made sure to be on his guard. He hoped it would stop soon. It was ridiculous that a bunch of adults on both sides were acting like children.

"I love that no matter what I do I will always be seen as a villain." He sighed, reading a few more letters.

"Is everything okay?" Narcissa asked.

"Just going through all the hate mail." He told her.

"I can't believe it's been a month and we are still getting hate mail." She sighed.

"Neither can I." He said.

"Oh well. At least we now know for certain who our true friends and supporters are." She said, very thankful to get rid of all the fakes.
