p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The week passes without anything exciting happening, until this very night before Draco and I do to return to Hogwarts, which has started out normally and I began to think I was safe from doing The Dark Lord's dirty work. I had thought completely wrong because in the middle of packing my truck I get a summons to Lucius's office. I follow the little house elf to the room I have summoned to where the door is slightly ajar and I can hear the voices from within. I knock lightly and a voice tells me to enter. /span/p

I knew he had returned, but expected more of a man than a snake. I suppose evil distorts people. I bow deeply to him out of common sense rather than resect, then kneeled before him. I suppose it will also boost his ego in a way that won't get me in trouble./span/p
